Division E principeromanes (Spartan 221-146 BC) defeats Karvon (Roman 199-106 BC) 50-18 The pikes of Sparta and legions of Rome met in the middle of the forest – clearly not the preferred battlefield of either army. The Spartans very reasonably drew up a battle line between two forests, anchored on ...

Division E principeromanes (Georgian 1008-1049 AD) defeats ChrisTownsend (Byzantine 988-1041 AD) 41-13 Both armies brought a very similar match up – large cavalry wings with a few infantry spreading across the centre. However, somewhat to my surprise as the Georgians, I found myself slightly outnumb...

Division E principeromanes (Georgian 1008-1049 AD) defeats Ironclad (Byzantine 988-1041 AD) 56-13 The Georgian army has the decided advantage in this matchup. Similar to the mirror, I brought a few massed archers and shieldwalls to support my Georgian lancers. The Byzantines anchored each flank arou...

Meanwhile, the Byzantine cavalry (mostly Tagmatic lancers and archers supported by a few h...

Not ideal cavalry country, but that may be why...
