[Chris Townsend]

Division C

Chris Townsend's Spanish 900 with Andalusian allies defeated wcfcns' Byzantine 904 47 to 22.

The Byzantine somehow managed to bring a horse army by boat to the shores of Spain. On an otherwise open plain, the Spanish choose to anchor their line on some woods on each flank, and adopt a defensive stance with their mainly infantry force. Unfortunately,, with only 1400 points, there were gaps in the Spanish line, with some small gaps in their shield wall, and a larger gap between the Spanish and their Muslim allies on the left. The Byzantine plan was to exploit those gaps, particularly by aiming their Byzantine Klibanophoroi at the gap, and peppering the rest of my line with horse archers. Fortunately both the Spanish and the Muslims were well equipped with their own archers and skirmishers that gave as good as they got in the missile exchange. The Byzantine's did penetrate the central gap, but not in force, with successful individual units either being counter attacked by a cavalry reserve, or disappearing off map in pursuit of the baggage train. Meanwhile, a few Spanish cavalry emerged through gaps in the shield wall to lead the attack on the Byzantine medium cavalry that has been severely weakened by missile fire.

In the end, the Andalusian flank had almost collapsed, but the complete victory of the Spanish right flank decided the match, and the Byzantine reembarked and headed home.

Good game!

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 (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.

A battle to the last. Chris fought hard and made me work for the victory with a few turns left. Good luck in the next games.

[excubitor]

Div D
excubitor (Pyrrhic 274-273 BC) - vs - Indibil (Parthian 250 BC - 225 AD + Selecuid 166-125 allies)

excubitor victory: 42 - 10

The game started with two sides having set up in quite different formations. The Pyrrhic army was spread to cover the whole front, while the Parthians and their allies were concentrated on their left side with a very weak Pyrrhic force to face them. The terrain in the center was slightly in favor of the Pyrrhic army, having control of the dominating hill with very steep slopes to the Pyrrhic right side.
Parthian missile fire inflicted significant losses on the Pyrrhic army, but Pyrrhic cavalry managed to rout their light units before shooting all of their arrows. The Pyrrhic army managed to converge its left wing to the center, stopping the Parthians from setting a foot on the dominating hill, while a small Pyrrhic force on its right wing managed to stall the Parthian advance. The core of the Parthian army and its most elite units remained as a reserve during the battle, and the score would have been very different if they had engaged in full strength.
A nice match with rough and high terrain playing a key role in the victory.

The Egyptians were far stronger in the archery department than their opponents and this showed as I went into a strong early lead. This changed when the lines eventually clashed and the stronger Syrian infantry played havoc amongst my bowline, making it a costly victory. GG.

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.
