Oh, I forgot .... I should have another one that I haven't started, do you know who it's with?

Hi

EdmondDantes match has no result (per my records)

He defeat me as 33-58

Great, thanks. That is your final match complete.

Ok, with a little over a month to go here are the table for the final run in.

Still plenty to play for:
Div A
although Nijis has the lead there are plenty of player with game sin hand and a higher average. Lets make sure those final games are started soon.
Div B
Nosferatus looks to be in a strong position, but there are plenty of players with good averages and games in hand. Anderarcos needs to make sure his games are underway soon.
Div C
Ryiad is in pole position, but as with the other divisions there are other players who could easily mount a challenge.

[anderarcos11]

anderarcos11 (urartian) beat hscic (assyrian), 40 to 15

[mejobo]

New battle result - Mejobo's Khazars defeat Egmont's Rus 45 - 17. A fairly open battlefield meant the Khazars went for all cavalry, and then divided the force in two to attack both flanks. The Rus tried to counter attack with cavalry on one flank and light troops in a forest on the other, but arrows dealt with both handily and the overall breakup of the battleline let the horse archers circle around and shoot up or flank the now unsupported heavy infantry.

[oscarius]

Division A

oscarius Samnite 355-272 + Gallic 300-101 allies beats Aetius39 Spartan 680-461
63 - 41

My final game for the tournament and my best result yet in the A Division (which I usually creep into out of B Div and then get demolished in).

Both of us produced an infantry-heavy force in a classic impact foot vs offensive spear showdown on an open flat map. My opponent deployed deep what caused me to scramble to get my wide line in order. My opponent also had to reckon with my superior cavalry force what immediately made moves to get deep into the rear. Neither of us spent much on light units.

A gruelling infantry clash ensured that didn't see me get a clear edge until quite late into the game. Both forces fought stubbornly with the hoplites largely surviving the painful first turn against the Italic and Gallic impacts (albeit at high casualties). My slight numerical superiority eventually paid off and I was able to crumple the Spartan left with nary a turn to spear as my right began to fail. Even if they failed in producing a serious envelopment my affordable average cavalry did a good job in pinning down the hoplite reserves. Many units fought for turn after turn and until auto-break but the tide slowly turned in favour of the Samnites. I see no mistakes made by either of us so I must thank the dice.

Well-played and can't wait for the next TDC. Thanks to the organisers and my opponents for the great games.

[grahamed]

Div B

Grahamed Arab defeated Angusosborne Roman 24 BC - 196 AD + Sarmatian 25/54 (29%)


The Arab infantry quaking at the sight of the legions of Rome managed to ascend a hill and cower with their archers behind them. To the infantries left a few cavalry pushed forward , sloping back into a wood as Romes allies pushed forward, then the Roman/Sarmation cavalry took a steady peppering from the enemy archers, the enemy Elephants infantry and cavalry made headway and the cavalry hiding in the woods leapt out, overwhelming the Roman support troops, cruelly some of the cavalry got charged from behind flank by Elephants, they fought bravely but hopelessly.

On the hill the legions pressed forward, charging stoically up the hill, grinding through the arab infantry and archers. A more even cavalry battle ensued on the Arabs right with the cataphracts swinging some of the uneven infantry battle the Arabs way. Eventually the Arab wings pushed through and charged From the flanks and rear even the mighty legionaries could not win through.

A hard fought game, close, very close until the very end.

Thanks

This concludes all my games. Another enjoyable competition, my thanks to the organisers
