[Stones1985]

Division A

Stones1985 (Christian Nubian) beat frederic02 (Avar) by a score of 70 to 42.

The Avars swept in with lots of mounted troops and achieved some initial successes. But over time the more numerous Nubians were able to wear them down with shooting and long spears. Good game Thanks.

[Nosferatu]

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 Indians to surround them.

[Bagatrix1805]

We both broke on the same turn

Division B
Is this a victory or a tie?

ulysisgrunt(Hittites) lost 60

Bagatrix 1805(Urartian) lost 70

The computer says I won a 'glorious victory"

If both armies go 60+ on the same turn it's a draw.

[Chris Townsend]

Division B aka Division 2

Chris Townsend's English 1155 defeated rockmanbob123's Anglo-Irish 1275 43 to 6, securing his homebase in the British Isles.

This map had a lot of woods on either flank of the Anglo-Irish position, so much of the Anglo-Irish were not visible as the battle commenced. The visible forces consisted of a good mix of infantry, well supported by longbow, and frequntly behind small rough patches.

In the face of the uncertainty, the English bravely charged forward on all fronts. The first Anglo-Irish forces to emerge were a maximum force of knights supported by sergeants, so the English right wing cavalry choose to stop and defend a hill. With the help of Welsh spearmen, this would have been a good strategy, but some weak tactical placement of missile troops at "corners" allowed enemy penetration, despite the successful defense against frontal assaults. In the centre, concentrated missile fire from the English skirmishers and crossbow men induced a charge from the Anglo-Irish that did not go well.

Meanwhile, on the left flank, it turned out that the English(?) force of Galwegians, Irish and bowmen faced only a screen of Anglo-Irish skirmishers in the woods, and the flank was quickly turned - just before the Anglo-Irish cavalry could take advantage of their hard won penetration for devastating flank and rear attacks.

If the Anglo-Irish centre could have help for one more turn, the result might have been completely different!

Good game!

[Indibil]

DIVISION B

Indibil French 1428-1444 with Scots(continental). BEAT
Rockmanbob123 Milanese 1440 w Florentine

64 - 54 %

Incredible game with an unexpected French victory after the brilliant maneuver of the Milanese Knights. The good position in a rough terrain of French crosbow, the resilience of the French dismounted knights and a good dose of luck were the main reasons. In addition the victory arrived at 24th turn...

Good game Boob and sorry for the luck

Div C

alexmike1 Seleucid 166-125 + Parthian 250 BC - 225 AD allies beat Bagatrix1805 Macedonian 260-148 + Greek 227-146 allies 55-29

The Macedonians had the larger phalanx, but the Parthian horse archers on the Seleucid right managed to turn the opposing flank quicker than the Greek allies on the Macedonian right. That usually decides these successor battles and that was the case here. Good game, thanks.
