Yes, in a near-miraculously quick turnaround I've now conjured up all 5 battle reports from last weekend's Warfare 15mm L'Art de la Guerre competition, featuring the on-table debut of a post-lockdown-painted Carolingian army under the command of the one and only Charlemagne himself.
The reports all feature a wildly aggressive approach to gameplay, hurling lancer-armed almost-Knightly Caballeri against pretty much anything that stands in their path and sitting back to watch the results unfold in the usual full-contact cinemascope fashion.
The reports as usual also come complete with army lists, commentary from Hannibal, random speech bubbles which bear little if any relationships to the action going on at the time, dreadful cod-French, and some tenuously connected music videos too (including one from Christoper Lee – yes, that one!).

IIRC the academic world is fairly confident that Charlemagne spoke a Germanic language, one of the many dialects. |

Doh! I'll have to go back and add some comedy German! |

You were quick to get freebie terrain we handed out onto the table! |

That was my opponent – I usually wanted a billiard table ! |
