defeated

Asterix_von_TWC and his Roman 320-261 BC army with Pergamene 262-191 BC ally

by 40-13.

The Macedonians fought their way through a swamp on their left flank, which allowed their cavalry to loop closely around the swamp and come down on the Romans' rear. And it was a close-fought thing as the Romans were about to turn the flank on the other side.

alexmike1 Egyptian 1200-1150BC beat Asterix_von_TWC Cimerian 750-600 with Urartian 749-585 60-52

The Egyptians gained a strong early lead with their superior archery. However, once the arrows started running low the main body of the Cimerians engaged and the battle nearly turned. A close run thing at the end.

A battle of attrition in the open. Just managed to prevail after losing a more comfortable cushion in the last few turns, which had me sweating a bit.

Division C

vakarr Bithynian 297-74 BC with Galatian 280-63 BC Allies
defeats rockmanbob123 Selecuid 124 -63

Score 55-64

A very hard fought game, where both side's right flanks collapsed. The Seleucid right flank was stronger, being made up of cataphracts and the like, and took much longer to go down. It took up to four Bithyian units to defeat each cataphract unit. As a result, the Seleucid position looked stronger for most of the game. In the centre, there was a hill that was fought over by the warbands, medium infantry and pikemen over and over again. There was one combat where pikemen and warbands fought toe to toe for turn after turn, and the pikemen rallied on the second last turn. Meanwhile the Seleucid infantry from their left flank had begun to arrive (there was nothing Bithynian left to oppose them on that flank) and were making their presence felt. The score was 55-58 in the Bithynians favour. It looked like the Seleucids would win on the following turn when suddenly, the pikemen auto-broke and the game was over.

Thanks for the game. The Franks have a good army that will cause some upsets.

[Chris Townsend]

Division C

Chris Townsend's Spanish 900 (w/Andalusian allies) defeats Ironclad's French 888 with Viking 790 allies 60 to 45.

The Time and Geography match-up would use a later version of the Viking allies for the French, so this was a little tricky to set up, as I could choose the Spanish, but the Viking 790 allies disappeared as soon as I chose my allies! In the end, it was my Andalusian allies that won the battle, so it was important to get it right!

The terrain was somewhat narrowed, especially on the Frankish side, by mountains, so the Franks were able to deploy compactly with heavy infantry in the centre, a strong cavalry force on the open right flank, and bowmen and, importantly, their berserker behind the rough terrain to the centre right. The Spanish deployed a similar size force of lancers behind a line of irregulars and bowmen opposite the aforementioned rough terrain, and a smaller force of Andalusian infantry and cavalry on a hill almost opposite the mountains.

So there were basically four smaller battles. On the Spanish left, their cavalry, despite some small successes, was outmaneuvered and out fought (including a dismal showing in the clash of the light javelin horse) by their Frankish counterparts. On the rough terrain, the Frankish bowmen, with the help of those berserkers, eventually prevailed, though there were losses to both sides. In the centre, a few spare lancers (fortuitously assigned to the infantry commander) supported the shield wall and, with the aid of skirmishers and bowmen, essentially fought to a draw.

In the meantime, the Andalusians made an almost unopposed flank march, and fell upon the Frankish centre troops, crushing their resistance with only the loss of their light horse, more than compensating for the Spanish losses elsewhere.

A tough fight, and a good game.
