[rafydedel]

Div A

rafydedel ancient British+Roman defeats Frederic 02 avars 50-15

On a hilly terrain, the two armies stretched themselves to deploy on the full width of the battlefield, resulting in three separate battlefront. Avars superior cavalry was not lucky with their pursuit, which often placed them in a bad position. At the same time, ancient British had very good results with their artillery.
Compounding effects of poor pursuits, poor cavalry terrain and good shooting were fatal to the avars.

Thanks to frederic02 for the battle

[Aetius39]

Aetius (Byzantines) defeats frederic02 (Avars) 55-27


Early lead by Byzantines stalled as the Avar lancers did some good damage, but ultimately the Avar flanks fell and slowly they were routed. GG!

Div B

Morat Norman (923-1049) with French (888-1049) defeated Cherebuschka Picts (477-850) with Scots-Irish: 43-17

Clever Pict manoeuvring drew the Normans into a series of tricky positions: but once the heavy foot got to work they managed to grind their way out of trouble.

Thanks to Cherebuschka for the match. It felt much closer than the score suggests.

Div C

Mejobo's Khazars score 56 against IMC's Vikings' 45

"Nightfall has saved the enemy from utter defeat..." but I'd put a lot of the ending score on IMC sticking to his guns and pushing large amounts of my cavalry off the back of the map! I was overconfident given the open field and did not do enough to get my center out to the sides.

[klayeckles]

DIV A
klayeckles (perg) defeats Karvon (Cimmerian) 41 to 16

cim shooters got caught up by pursuit and the perg cav managed to concentrate on a portion of the Cimmerian cav, leading to a domino collapse....gg...those shooters are not fun to stand up to!

[principesromanes]

Division B

principesromanes (Armenian (Tigranes) 83-69 BC with Pontic 84-47 BC allies) defeats random27 (Hebrew 681-586 BC with Kushite Egyptian 727-656 BC) 50-25

The Armenians apprehensively formed up, anticipating a relentless volley of arrows and dreading the inevitable chariot charges. The Armenians brought their cataphracts to counter those chariots. The Armenians brought their massed archers and a decent selection of lights in the hopes of avoiding losing the firefight too badly. The lines approached cautiously – each side very hesitant to surrender the chance at getting in the first volley. When the missiles did start to fly, the one Hebrew weakness started to show – their powerful chariots were also an integral part of their swarm of arrows. The Armenians took advantage of the chariots’ participation in the firefight to target them in the missile face, and were lucky to get a few disruptions and even a chariot fragmenting from missile fire. Mind you, the chariot still survived the check when charged by imitation legionaries… Fortunately for the Armenians, enough chariots broke to open up the Hebrew centre before the Armenian flanks could collapse. A win, but it felt very tense.

This Hebrew army is a powerful army. I think this is random’s first loss with it this season and I went 8-0 with it last season. It really is a bronze and iron age army that comes out ahead when it sneaks into the classical era.

Merci pour la bataille!

Morat Norman (923-1049) with French (888-1049) defeats Garokan Viking 900-1049AD + French 888: 55-25

Good fight between two equally matched sides. Thanks to Garokan for a GG.

[Stones1985]

Division A

Stones1985 (Arab Conquest) beat Aetius39 (Byzantine) by a score of 42 to 16. A close game where the Arabs got into a bit of trouble early on, but a well timed rally by some Dailami turned the game around and put them on the front foot.

Thanks, good game.
