Yeah, Unfortunately I think pindicator has just a bit too much unless Cyneheard has further knights in the fog.
Assuming a simple top-down fight order:
- They have equal number of full strength knights (7 vs 7), but pindi has slightly better promos (unless Cyneheard has saved those).
- First 2 maces after that won't get odds against 2 slightly wounded knights so pindi should win roughly 6 out of first 9 battles
- After that Cyneheard has 1 mace, 1 spear and 6 weaker units to throw against those 6 survivors + that wounded chariot
Mmmm.. it would be a really close case and I can see it ending horribly for Cyneheard if pindicator just gets couple of easy wins and has couple of knights still standing strong after winning 6/7 out of first 9 battles. However, if Cyneheard gets lucky and wins e.g. 5 out of first 4 battles he can clean up the whole stack. Yeah, if one feels like gambling this is a place where couple of good rolls can really turn the fight upside down. Already couple of extra units (preferably knights or cats as OH said) would make this a go-decision for Cyneheard.
EDIT: This is exactly that type of a battle that dishonest PBEM player takes and completely destroys his opponent by testing 2 or 3 attack orders. I'm happy we are playing Pitboss
