The Rout of Stonebridge
Battlefield: a narrow mountain pass · 7 Oct 2026 · Ranked
SIDE A · KezzyK
Mongol Horde
Roster army: 🏹 Mongol Horde
600 Mongol horse archers with composite bows and spare horses, using feigned retreats and constant movement, backed by 100 lancers in lamellar armour for the final charge.
SIDE B · dubzz
Lone Sherman
Roster army: 🚜 Lone Sherman
One WWII M4 Sherman tank with a 5-man crew, a 75mm gun with 40 shells and two machine guns. It cannot refuel and the crew must eventually rest.
ROUND 1 — THE ONLY ROUND
Lone Sherman fires a ranging shell that sends earth sky-high. Then Lone Sherman simply drives through Mongol Horde, tracks grinding, and Mongol Horde are pinned and cut down, their speed gone.
» The 75mm fires one last time and Mongol Horde is no more.
THE WAR ORACLE'S VERDICT
Lone Sherman should dominate here. Immune to pre-modern weapons is too much for Mongol Horde, whose arrows eventually run out leaves it with very few answers.

MVP: The bow machine-gunner
It was over almost before it began. Lone Sherman barely broke a sweat.
