Cheers for the game.

[SawyerK]

Division D

SawyerK leading the Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC army and Egyptian 1149 BC ally

outpointed

Indibil and his Urartian 749-585 BC army

by 65-57.

A very close match with the Urartian army wiping their right flank clean even as the Syro-Canaanite did the same on their right flank. At the end, rear and flank attacks by the Urartian heavy cavalry almost won the day, but the loss of both Foot Guard units gave the match to the Syro-Canaanites.

[Rosedelio]

Div A

Rosedelio (Sumerian) defeats ulysisgrunt (Cimmerian) 51-14

Spearmen and archers were able to outshoot the Cimmerian horse archers

Division D

SawyerK leading the Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC army and Egyptian 1149 BC ally

defeated

Rob123 and his Hittite 1275-1180 BC army

by 41-4.

The Hittite strategy was fine, but when the forces closed, the Syro-Canaanite chariots and swordsmen had devastating effects on impact, and the game quickly went into the latter's favor.

Div B

alexmike1 Egyptian 1200-1150BC beat Bagatrix1805 Babylonian 890-729 BC with Neo-Hittite/Aramaean 890 40-11

An absolute pig of a map with a large body of water down the Egyptian right, a deep stream through the middle and enclosures. The respective chariot fleets spent most of the match sniping across the stream, with the Babylonians having the better of it. In the centre and right though the Egyptian archery and superior foot got the better of their opponents. The game ended quite abruptly when a unit of impact foot completed 3 successive flank charge/routs - pretty lucky on my part!

Division B

jaerho 945-720BC

defeated

alexmike1 Egyptian 1200-1150BC

66-59

In a battle between the New Kingdom and Libyan dynasties, the foot soldiers and chariots fought to a bloody draw, and the additional early cavalry of the Lybian Pharaoh proved decisive on the disorganized battlefield.

[markleslie]

Division A

markleslie Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC with Egyptian 1149-1069 BC allies defeats lydianed Sea Peoples 1208-1176 BC with Libyans 1250-651 BC allies 45-10.

Turn 3 - view from the allied camp.
The endless ranks of the boat people are revealed, eager to engage in peaceful cultural exchange and make use of our bountiful lands as if they were their own. The King of Kings, not at all keen to engage directly mutters yeah nah and orders the left wing to advance with the right trailing in support.



Turn 9 - view from the allied left wing toward the right.
The King of Kings left wing proved mostly successful routing or dominating the shattered remains of the foe, while our Heavy Chariots, either side of the rough, worked their wicked magic upon the vulnerable flanks the heathen phalanx kept exposing.



The right wing, upon finally engaging the enemies main line, proved to be the less brittle and the day was won.

I salute my opponent and note his sage obsevations on the qualities of the Sea Peoples, at least this day, proved correct.

Division A

markleslie Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC with Egyptian 1149-1069 BC allies defeats ulysisgrunt Cimmerian 750-600 with Urartian allies (749-585) 50-11.

Turn 2 - view from the allied camp, our deployment zone slightly constricted by the mountains to our right.
Loaded up on shooters we advanced to meat the on rushing horde, seemingly eager to exchange slings and arrows.



Turn 8 - the back is broken.
After a few turns exchanging arrows, with building disruptions in the enemies ranks, our centre and right advanced to fix their front while our left flank attempted to drive their right inwards on their own centre.



Back to the steppe for the trousered ruffians to lick their wounds.
Salute!

by a score of 62-40 a well played match with no quarter given the Syro Canananites can feel proud at the effort after some terrible luck to begin with.

The score says it all,,,bloodbath that could just as easily have had the opposite results.

[markleslie]

Division A

markleslie Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC with Egyptian 1149-1069 BC allies defeats tyronec Babylonian 890-729 BC with Assyrian 890-746 BC 60-35.

Turn 2 - Down by the sea the Hosts have assembled.
The Great King with the aid of a huge hill, a clear sign of divine favour, decides that this day shall be ours and orders the advance. The right wing will advance to the top of the hill and threaten bloody destruction on the enemy while the left wing will attempt to skirmish and hold whatever is thrown out on the open flank.



Turn 10 - Now fully committed the combatants look to the Gods to decide their fate.
The Babylonian right flank advanced swiftly out of the woods to engage those opposite while the remains of their army continued to loiter about the enclosed fields, no doubt reassured by a few irrigation ditches between them and the blood thirsty wave cresting the great hill.



Seeing the Babylonian right flank advance up onto the hill to the scattered woods to meet our forces the Great King, observing the widening gap between their right and their main line, orders our right wing shock troops to turn 90 degrees and march down hill to strike the head of the snake while our second line troops remain on the hill to hold what will surely come.

A stiff fight, a long fight, but the enemies right flank finally crumbles and flees while our valiant defenders on the hill hold just long enough to be recognised as a footnote in offical histories.

Salute!

Division B

jaerho Egyptian 945-720 BC

defeated

Asterix_von_TWC Cimmerian 750-600 BC with Urartian 749-585 Allies

44-18

In a strong defensive position with rough ground on one flank and a forest and a pond, the Egyptians were extremely passive at first. The Egyptian skirmishers managed to entice the nomad horse archers into a premature assault that was cut down by massed archers and chariots. An aggressive chariot break out manage to rout enough troops to get the win.

[markleslie]

Division A

markleslie Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC with Egyptian 1149-1069 BC allies defeats IMC Urartian 780-750 BC 51-23.

Turn 2
The Great King interrupts his beard stroking long enough to indicate the enemy and our host, minus the bushwackers, rapidly advances hoping to use the rough as a barrier against the heavy chariots.
The Urartians, perhaps confident in their chariots but not so much their foot, advanced their right while their left trails wheeling the battle lines.



Turn 6 - The lines committed, the ambush sprung.
The Urartian shooters had little effect on the Great Kings foreign allies and the impact foot smashed the foes centre and left like a ripe pomegranate, splattering seeds in all directions.



Good luck to my opponent for the rest of the tourney and salute!

[tyronec]

Div A

tyronec (Babylonian) defeats ulysisgrunt (Cimmerian) 42-0.
Horse archers against Babylonian foot was a bit of a mismatch.
