Medieval 2 Total War Online Battle: Holy Roman Empire (HRE) vs Venice

I was planning a pike and shot renaissance type of army for a long time but i didn't find the right situation to use it online for a week or two. Finaly i decided to go for it yetsreday and these are the results. 

I had my doubts about using the HRE since Musketeers would have been better for these tactics but in the end it had to be the HRE because of the Reiters. I also thought about using Zweihanders instead of Dismounted Imperial Knights for supporting the Landsknecht Pikemen and i think i'll give that variation a go in a future battle. 

All in all it was a very fun battle and a good opponent. 15k, standard rules. 

Anyway my army is composed of:

- 4 Arquebusiers
- 4 Dismounted Imperial Knights
- 4 Landsknecht Pikemen
- 2 Zweihander
- 3 Gothic Knights
- 2 Reiters 
- 1 General Bodyguard unit 

Used FRAPS to capture it and Windows Live Movie Maker to edit it so it's nothing "fancy". My PC is also crappy so it affects the quality naturally.

Thank you for watching and i hope you'll enjoy/already enjoyed.

P.S: Sorry for any typos.
P.P.S: In a dictionary there probably is a picture of the Reiters next to the word "cool".
