Is there a rule that says only one or two winners can ever survive? And no retreat is allowed? If battles were really like that, noone would have ever survived past the stone age.

Also, the Jannisaries were higher quality troops than Lansknechts. The Lansknecht footsoldiers were better than the average ottoman footsoldier, but the Jannisaries would have curbstomped them.

A better match up would be German Rieters, because they would be equivilant class of elite troop.
