Unfortunately the tournament was set up with the wrong set of scenario files. My sincere apologies - entirely my fault. A corrected version of the tournament will shortly be up on the tournament pages for signups. the first game will commence on Monday 29th December. You will all need to sign up ag...

Hi Richard,

Something is wrong with the tournament games.
When the game is started, there was no army and the army names said "IDS_Missing", up-left sides were written as "Red" and "Blue" and the game ends immediately in defeat.

Signing in after missing the last TDC.

1. Croatian 850-1102
2. Frankish 751-887 + Viking 790-899 allies
3. Arab (Abbasid) 874-946 + Arab (syria/Iraq) 890 allies

Alternatives are named, but doubt anyone else would select Croatians through

Thanks to you, all opponents and also thanks to all the people running the TDC. The matches in Dark Ages are always interesting and very dynamic.

Here are those all important matrices for checking. Please do let me know of any mistakes. I think there is one minor mistake (but should not affect the final order), my game against alexhstandish ended 62:50 with his win, I think the table has it reversed so 12 points less for me and, I think, 24 ...

Nosferatu (Mountain Indian+Indian) defeats rockmanbob123 (Bosphoran 84 + Sarmantian) with 64:39 A very difficult hill on the Indian left overlooked the battlefield and both sides rushed lights and mediums onto it, but it was just slightly closer to the Bosphoran positions, so the Indians were caught...

Nosferatu (Croatian) defeats Morat (Norman w French) 41:13 The Normans opted for a boxy formation using a hill on their right and rough terrain in the center as a defensive cover which looked formidable with their heavy armored infantry. However, the Croatians were thus free to surround the box on b...

Nosferatu (Croatian) wins against Hari72 (German+Magyar) 61:47 The Croatian cavalry on the right rushed to occupy a hill on that flank, but a heavy German cavalry attack repulsed them for the most part. However, this took time and the Croatian left had enough time to flank the enemy on the other sid...

Nosferatu (Mountain Indian) defeats Rob123 (Roman+Numidian) 62:39

The Romans attacked fiercely along their entire line, but wave after wave of Indian arrows and elephant charges has done enough damage to win the day. Thanks for the game.

Div B Nosferatu (Croatian) defeats Garokan (Viking+French) 67:45 Faced with superior numbers, the better armored Vikings shortened their line and reinforced their left, where they won against the Croatians, but this took time and came too late to save the center from collapse as the other side was o...

Div B Nosferatu (Croatian) defeats anderarcos11 (German) 53:23 The Germans had a strong defensive line on a hill in the center, but both flanks of the battlefield were strewn with woods and the Croatians got the upper hand there using lighter troops. The game was closer then the score shows, but tur...

Nosferatu (Croatian) wins against frederic02 (Indian Rajput) 60:48 The terrain and army setups degenerated the battle into three separate independent fights. Croatians won their left flank and center, but were badly mauled on the right by Indians using elephants and rough terrain expertly. When the ...

Div C: Nosferatu posted challenge for Antivirt. PM sent

Div B
Nosferatu posted challenge for anderarcos11
pass: Dark

Nosferatu (Croatian) defeats Rob123 (Andalusian+Navarese) with 45:10 A medium patch of rough ground in the middle prevented a full open clash in the center. Instead the main battle was a cavalry fight on both flanks, with the infantry from the center joining in diagonally. While the Croatian right o...

Div C Nosferatu (Mountain Indian) defeats SawyerK (Carthage Hannibal in Italy 216) 59:31 Carthaginians attempted to minimize archery losses by boxing in to a narrow front, but as their melee got underway, a few Indian troops held them up longer then expected, allowing enough time for the numerous In...

Division C table (I am not posting tables for Divisions A or B because few games have been completed). I believe the names on the right table are mixed up (not sure about the left) because it has me scoring points against two players I did not play with yet and none against players I did. I am gues...

Div C Nosferatu (Mountain Indian+Indian) defeated ulysisgrunt (Samnite 355 + Gallic) 60:48 With an open sea to their left and limited elbow room, the Indians banked heavily on the right and while it took time, it paid off just as the Indian center started collapsing (a vastly different result was no...
