[principesromanes]

Division 2

principesromanes (Cimmerian 750-600 BC with Mannaean 750-610 BC allies) defeats anderacos11 (Egyptian 945-720 BC) 62-47

Two horse and chariot archer-heavy armies met, facing off across a deep river beside the coast. The Cimmerian general declined to try to outmaneuver the Egyptian army (re-roll the battlefield) despite the Egpytians sitting on a hill on their side of the river because the terrain was equally unfavourable for both armies.

In order to provoke a battle, the Egyptian light chariots charged across the river to rain arrows down on the Cimmerian army. It worked, breaking a number of units. Unfortunately, light chariots don’t like being charged – even by irregular foot – so tried to beat a hasty retreat. In the narrow coastal plane – and with a deep river at their back – many were caught.

Meanwhile, the light units on the Cimmerian right flank – away from the sea – were slowly forcing their way around the end of the Egyptian line, raining missiles as they went.

As the battle developed, there were a lot of unusual melees happening. In one notable instance, a unit of early Cimmerian cavalry charged an Egyptian light chariot in the river, resulting in a slow grind that was never resolved. Many Cimmerian units broke from the Egyptian massed archers sitting on the hill, firing over the river, but ultimately they started to run out of arrows – and targets not in melee – and the Cimmerian irregular foot proved up to the task of coming out ahead in enough melees to carry the day.

Thanks for the very interesting game. Between this and our early medieval game, we’re 2-0 for favouring attacking uphill rather than defending.

[Triarii]

Division 1

Triarii (Hebrew) defeats Aetius39 (Philistine ) 47-22

Initial opportunity to cause a good few missile casualties meant a bit of a biblical slugfest in rough ground and a stream just went the Hebrew way before the Philistines could work their way round the open flank. Good game notable for the survival of all Hebrew Generals .... a welcome first for the Hebrews.

[Drudgep]

In a semi mirror matchup, Drudgep's Romans of 105-25BC defeated the older 199-106 BC Romans commanded by Grimgrom by the score of 69-47.

Grimgrom brought plenty of medium and light foot vs a very heavy army comp by Drudgep. The key was that Drudgep's flank of Legionnaires were able to hold the ground long enough for the main army to do its work.

Although Grimgrom must be an inspiring commander as back to back turns he had at least 5 rallies... causing problems for the slow heavy army of Drudgep as fragmented units were scatttered around the outskirts of the battlefield no longer routed.

This marks the end of Drudgep's first TDC, I want to thank everyone who organized it. I believe I am missing a reported game. I have a record of 4-6 which I am quite happy with being a brand new player. Thank you to all my opponents.. I really enjoyed this tournament!

Wins: Indibil, Grimgrom, Hscic, and RussellGardner1964
Loses: Rockmanbob, SawyerK, Antivirt, Sunnyboy, and MH5064

[Nosferatu]

Nosferatu (German) defeats Kroche (Khorasanian) 34:65

With flat left flank, scattered rough center and a difficult mountain right flank, the battle got split into three distinct battles. The Khorasanian took up defensive positions but the Germans attacked fiercely. Except on the mountain, where German archers had to withdraw after some losses, German attack succeeded in most of the battlefield, routing two elephants and a bunch of infantry and the Khorasanian line collapsed.

[Nosferatu]

Given that I have completed all other battles, I would also like to claim against Trogdor666. Our challenge was setup some three weeks ago, but he has not accepted.
