Div B

alexhstandish (Axumite) beat Nosferatu (Croatian) 62 :50

The Axumites set up in a good defensive position with a steep hill central, rough on the right and woods and rough on the left.
The Axumites pulled back their right flank lights, elephants and camels, and defended the hill and rough in the centre.
The Croatians broke through the Axumite left with a cunning move of lancers through the wood and a last ditch flank charge with a disrupted lancer unit, which led to a cascade of fragments and routs. However, the Axumite veteran foot defeated the Croatian spear in the centre. The Axumite veteran foot swung round both sides of the hill and just managed to catch enough spear and lancer units to scrape the win.

A very tough fight, thank you Nosferatu.

alexhstandish Lithuanian 1100-1299 with Teutonic Order

56:10

Initially both sides took up defensive positions either side of a medium sized valley, just out of bowshot of each other, and it looked like both sides would be happy to defend. Some probing by the Lithuanians on their right flank drove in the Castillian light cavalry and drew the attention of the Iberian knights in reserve. Worried that the sneaky Lithuanians with their high quality light and medium cavalry might wriggle past my left flank, I sent all the knights I had, then I sent my lights to cover them, and then I started sending my infantry and missile troops to stop them being overwhelmed. Before I knew it my careful defensive posture turned into an attacking one. Once the knights got out into the valley, there was no stopping them and they started charging the entrenched archers based on hilltops and marshes in what I thought might be a foolhardy series of charges. The knights did their duty- soaked up a lot of arrows and crossbow bolts and smashed the enemy line. In the centre they tied up some more troops and some suicidal charges by my medium cav on the right flank succeeded in not only pining the enemy left flank but ended up breaking enough of them to clinch an unlikely victory. Great credit goes to some poor defensive spearmen in the centre of my position who were shot at repeatedly and then charged downhill by some Teutonic knights. They took it all and held the knights long enough for the Iberian knights to kill everything they charged. RNG was my friend, but so were stubborn spearmen and glorious knightly charges.

[Chris Townsend]

Division B aka Division 2

Chris Townsend's English 1155 defeated indibil's Argonese 1275 63 to 41.

In a mostly flat map (except for scattered rough, which had little impact), the battle was joined in three distinct melees. On the English right, the cavalry (mostly) battle was arguably a win for either side, but was mostly mutually assured destruction. In the centre, the English line infantry were defeated, but the Welsh spearmen saved the day, defeating both knights and infantry. On the left, The majority of the English knights, supported by sergeants and mounted crossbows, defeated a combined force of knights with infantry support (mostly crossbows). Some maneuvering that resulted in the formidable Almughavars (sp?) attacking knights out of their rough terrain was, perhaps, the key tactical event.

Good game!

Division 3 or Division C

Chris Townsend's Graeco-Bactrians defeated Rockmanbob123's Bosphoran w/Samatian allies 61 to 52.

On a vary open battlefield, both sides opted for a strong cavalry force, with a small body of infantry in the little bit of favourable terrain on each right. The initial phase of the battle saw the Graeco-Bactrians throwing individual cavalry units at the advancing Bosphoran infantry in a futile attempt to slow it down. Meanwhile the Bosphorans refused their left wing cavalry before turning to engage the pursuing Graeco-Bactrian cavalry on an axis almost perpendicular to the original fronts. This became a drawn out battle as the superior Bosphoran noble cavalry fought stoically until they reached autobreak (at about 60% casualties). The key to breaking the line, together with some of the supporting Bosphoran infantry was the arrival of the one Graeco-Bactrian elephant that had survived the march from Asia (together with a little supporting infantry and archers).

Good game!

anderarcos11 Frankish 496-599 AD 54/28 (26%)

Frankish cavalry rushed the Hill on their right, met by Arab and Sassanid cavalry with some infantry support. warbands poured over their centre and left field with the Arab cavalry and lights melting away but some support infantry lingering in the rough.

Eventually the bulk of the Arab cavalry on the Frankish right overcame the franks as their supporting ally elephants arrived to swing the balance and push back the warbands on that side.

Close game, hard fought, thanks
