[edb1815]

Division 2

edb1815 (Byzantines) defeated Rob123 (Palmyran) 42%-10%

Using some dismounted superior lancers in the center the Byzantines rushed forward to engage before the Palmyran archers had much effect. Cavalry on both wings spread out the cataphracts and overwhelmed them with numbers and got behind the line.

Thanks for the game - Well played Rob123.

Div 2

Morat (French/Vikings) beat Bagatrix1805 Dailami/Armenian 56-30

French went for a balanced horse/foot mix against a very infantry heavy Dalami force. French sought to use their horse to flank on the left and use their heavy infantry to beat up the centre. Plan very nearly came badly unstuck as hordes of medium foot emerged from woods on the left. French right got mauled by veteran and medium spears. Salvation came in the centre, huscarls and dismounted lancer and a vital couple of mounted lancer units cut through the opposition and just had enough to turn on the forces closing from their left.

Thanks to Bagatrix for (another) terrific match.

Blagrot Germanic Horse Tribes 260-492 + Dacian (Carpi) 107-380 allies beat Garokan Romans 425-492 + Germanic Foot Tribes 260-599 allies 57% - 32%

A quick and brutal game, the infantry clash favoured me slightly, especially with several disrupts from skirmisher shooting. Both sides cavalry overwhelmed their counterparts on the respective right flanks but mine overlapped quicker to land the finishing blows on his struggling infantry in the centre. A couple of units rallied with amusingly bad timing for both sides, just in time to be rear charged by pursuing cavalry and broken before they even got a turn... Thanks for the game.

Just look at the score. A careful beginning became a mess of isolated fights and opportunistic flank attacks that finished with only 2 turns remaining as my punch-drunk mess of an army had just a little more stamina than the battered Byzantines. Thanks for a fantastic game.

Skirmishers, horse archers and medium foot chewed up one flank while cataphracts and romanised Argyrasids smashed through the other. My centre pikes were started to get surrounded and break as the game ended but the damage was done. Thanks for the game.

The rumble in the jungle could've gone very differently and thus the battle. A plan, such as it is, is better than no plan.
Salute!

"Legionary life is beautiful, not because of riches, partying or the acquisition of luxury, but because of the noble comradeship which binds all Legionaries in a sacred brotherhood of struggle "
-Corneliu Zelea Codreanu

This was a battle in which there was no shortage of legionaries, fought mainly between two forrests on an open field

Two fortutious cavalary charges delivered 3 turns apart sealed the fate of a courageous oppenent

The score here in no way refelects the game

Thanks ggarynorman for a tough struggle!

Div 2

Morat (Burgundian/English) beat random27 berber (hafsid) 64-45

Constrained by some generally vile terrain - lots of rough/scrub and difficult slopes, the English deployed longbows and spears on the left with heavy foot and horse in the few pieces of decent ground they could find in the centre.

Terrific berber assault with lights, mediums and bows on the left caused real havoc. Longbows packing up and running after a couple of rounds. Berber light horse got round the right and caused significant disruption.

In the end a couple of units made the difference. Welsh spears beat off the mediums and lights, and (crucially) a unit of crossbows recovered from fragmentation under the CinC to hold off a series of light attacks. This gave time for the heavies in the centre to see off their foes.

A great game - many thanks to random27. on another day the victory would have gone to the berbers.

Morat (Visigoths/Byzantines) beat Rob123 Palmyran/Arab 41-11

Open battlefield gave room for the Visigothic/Byzantine horse to mass on the left, with lighter forces and horse archers on the right warbands in the centre.

Visigothic horse got to and around the Palmyran cataphracts, routing them with a series of fortunate rolls and were then able to get at the Palmyran centre. The right and centre held up well enough to secure the win. But in the last couple of rounds the legionaries were starting to carve their way through the warbands, and the VIsigoths were fortunate that their cavalry had secured a good enough lead to get over the line.

Many thanks to Rob123 - I think I had all the luck in this one.
