Div A

Rosedelio (Scots-Irish) defeats Kroche (Breton) 45-13

The horde of Scots-Irish infantry were able to pick off some isolated Breton infantry in the forests before the big clash. Once the melee started, the superior Scots-Irish infantry proved their worth.

Div A

Rosedelio (Ptolemaic) defeats markleslie (Carthaginian) 60-51

The Ptolemaic lights advantage early on was able to whittle at the swarm of Carthaginian infantry. This allowed the pikes to fight off some infantry before they could get surrounded too much.

Div A

Rosedelio (Carthaginian) defeats markleslie (Ptolemaic) 44-17

The more numerous and maneuverable Carthaginian infantry were able to outflank the Ptolemaic pikes.

I decided against this because I think it makes the map more difficult to read. That would be fine if both players wanted to, but in this case it would be forced onto the AWAY player.

Fair enough. It is a lot of bright snow.

I suggest allowing Medieval armies in the N. European region to choose the Frozen region as well. (eg. Frozen Agricultural for both matches instead of N. European Agricultural)

Div A

Rosedelio (Babylonian) defeats ericdoman1 (Arab) 43-13

The Arab irregular foot just didn't have enough armor to hold out against the Babylonian arrows.
