Oops. I just realized that since the chit
choices were assault vs. defend, we don't use the die roll modifiers for
leaders' tactical ratings. So Turkey would get a +1 for cavalry
superiority.
Round 1:
Turkey rolls 5+1 = 6 on 3-1, which is 10% of 34 =
3 factors, and -1.5 morale on Spain. Spain rolls 4 on 4-1, which is 10%
of 20 = 2 factors, and -1.0 morale done to Turkey.
Round 2:
Turkey rolls 3+1 = 4 on 3-1, which is 10% of 32 =
3 factors, and -0.8 morale on Spain. Spain rolls 5 on 4-2, which is 15%
of 17 = 3 factors, one of which must be cavalry, because the -1.9 morale loss
breaks the Turks.
Pursuit:
Spain rolls on pursuit class 3 (2 rounds, -2.3
morale loss), rolling a 3. This inflicts 15% of 4 cavalry factors = 1
cavalry loss.
Total losses:
Spain loses 6 I (3 of which must be
Swedish).
Turkey loses 4 I (Egyptian) and 2 C (Turkish,
either feudal or imperial).
Of course, these would be the casualties that
minimize cavalry loss; Joel or Danny might do otherwise.
The Turkish army retreats to Cairo.
I hope all this is correct and
helpful.
