Solemnace Arab (Bedouin) 300-636 AD defeats excubitor Bizantine 600-649 42-15

My opponent got very unlucky with me breaking several of his infantry units on the left of his centre that I was able to exploit to shatter most of his flank infantry that and some decent maneuvering elsewhere allowed me to pick apart enough of his army to get a win that looks better than it probably was.

[Ironclad]

Division C

Ironclad French 888-1049 AD and Viking 790-_899 AD allies defeated SirMichael German 888-932 AD 55-23

The battlefield comprised patches of rough terrain and woods dispersed amongst plain areas and the opposing sides adopted differing approaches - the Germans being infantry heavy whilst the French had a significant cavalry component. The thinly held French defensive line surprisingly and with good luck managed to hold up the German infantry advance long enough to allow their powerful cavalry left wing to outflank their opposition and to break into the enemy rear where the damage inflicted led to a decisive French victory.

alexmike1 Arab (Umayyad) 685-750AD beat Rob123 Indian Rajput 650-1049AD 48-18

The Indians advanced a short distance to a small ridgeline and held it strongly with their infantry. The whole line had a liberal sprinkling of elephants, which caused havoc initially amongst the Arab cavalry in particular. The elephants got carried away by their success, as they often do, and were eventually either sidelined or ganged-up on. This allowed the impact infantry and cavalry of the Arabs to get at the Indian infantry.

Fun game in which I was in serious trouble early on.

[Chris Townsend]

Division C

Chris Townsend's Spanish 900 (w/Andulasian allies) defeats Solemnace's Arab (Bedouin) 41 to 14

This was a bit of a time warp battle, with a pre-conquista Arab (Bedouin) army facing a Spanish army from the beginning of the Reconquista.

The Arab's only brought lances when they crossed the Straits of Gibraltar, and they literally ran into a bunch of rough terrain, with a rough sided hill in the middle, and the sea protecting the Spanish left flank. The Spanish placed archers on the hill, a few spearmen at each end of their line, and irregulars in the mostly rough terrain in between.

Their right flank was open, and their light horse their was quickly overrun, apparently not realizing that the Bedouins had lances instead of light spears. The Spanish medium cavalry did come to the rescue, and the front stabilized, with a few Bedouin light horses getting through, but not early enough to threaten the rear of the Spanish infantry. On the Spanish left, one Bedouin cavalry did slip through a gap, but fortunately spent too long looting the Spanish camp to have a decisive impact on the battle.

Meanwhile, the archery fire (massed and skirmishers) devastated the middle of the lancer line, and the irregular infantry counter attacked as successive lancers fragmented, putting a hole in the Bedouin line big enough to send them back to their ships.

A good game, where the virtues and challenges of lancers were shown, especially in constrained terrain.
