A much closer game than the score indicates. My opponent advanced in an arrow shaped formation with a lot of hard hitting knights in the centre. His light javelin caused me to break formation and it quickly became a slugfest. I was able to weather the storm just about and get in a few flank attacks with my crossbow men and spear units. Very good game and pleased to get the victory in the end. Thanks to my opponent.

lunecastle Aragonese 1275-1319

51:11

The Aragonese formed a solid column that was protected on its right flank by woods and marched towards the low hills that were on the Portuguese left. The Portuguese brought lots of missile troops hoping to hide in the patches of rough ground in the centre of the battlefield. I did bring just enough knights in my centre to hold up the advancing Aragonese. there were also just enough spearmen to hold off the almughavars who launched themselves at my infantry. The Aragonese holy knights did manage to burst through my centre taking out some unfortunate crossbows caught out of position. Everyone else held in the centre and despite being shot up a bit managed to stop me being outflanked on my left. Then my right flank arrived and smashed into the flanks of the Aragonese. Aided by missile fire from the low hills the Spanish were picked apart by the Portuguese. I had all the luck in the shooting and the evade paths rear and flank charging all over the place. Moral of the story is - do not let a load of cavalry onto your flank whilst committed to a frontal assault. To be fair my left flank was looking decidedly unhappy but the battle was already lost before their advantage could have any effect.

Division C

Solemnace Baltic Tribes 1050-1283 AD defeats dragmio Polish 1200-1319 with German (North/west) 42-14

The Allied left flank collapsed the flank of their best infantry was exposed and both of the best Allied infantry units were routed by a single unit of Baltic foot. Despite partially successful Allied efforts to exploit overzealous Baltic infantry this collapse was compounded by a collapse in their forces on the edge of the right flank atop a hill which was only prevented from being worse by the rapid collapse of the Allied army and their flight from the field.

[alexhstandish]

Div C

alexhstandish (Anglo Irish) defeated dragmio (Polish) 46:17

The Anglo Irish feared a huge number of knight lancers so formed up on the right, and moved into two areas of rough terrain with light troops and longbowmen, adopting a north south line. The Polish army however consisted of mumerous crossbowmen and medium infantry so a tough fight ensued in the foremost rough terrain. Initially the Anglo Irish prevailed, with knights taking out bowmen and a prolonged archery contest taking place beteen crossbows and longbows.

Between the rough areas the battle was decided by a clash of spearmen and knights which the Anglo Irish managed to win.

Thanks for the game dragmio.

6/41

My opponent had his cavalry shot up from some woods well stocked with missile units. After his centre broke his army quickly folded. My opponent was initially hesitant about the map but decided to stick with it in the end. By his own admission he felt he had attacked prematurely and under estimated the damage my missile units were able to inflict. Nevertheless a good game. It's always hard to pull back from some early strategic errors as I know well myself..

[Rosedelio]

Div A

Rosedelio (Polish) defeats CheAhn (Serbian) 71-36

The Polish infantry were able to hold on long enough with a hill to let the Polish cav on the right deal with Serbian massed archers and flank the Serbian cav.

[alexmike1]

Div B

alexmike1 Castillian/Leonese 1200-1319AD with Arogonese beat rockmanbob123 Hungarian 1200-1319 71-35

Both armies deployed the majority of their knights to the left flanks. This led to both gradually destroying their opposite right flanks. The penultimate turn saw the score tied at 35-35. I had managed to line up a couple of flank charges which went spectacularly well, gaining me 36 points! An abrupt ending to a tough fought game that I, at least, didn't see coming.

[Solemnace]

Division C

Solemnace Baltic Tribes 1050-1283 AD defeats NeroWolfe German (South/East) 1200-1319AD 62-30

The German cavalry smashed into the Baltic right inflicting major damage but was tied down for much of the game. The Baltic left however was able to surround and grind down the German Knights and open up the German foot knights to a major flanking attack from the baltic left which cracked their lines even as they broke the elements of the Baltic centre.
