SimonLancaster (Arab City 300 AD + Sassanid) defeated Bagatrix1805 (Sassanid 591 AD + Arab) 61-49.

A tough slog. Good luck to my opponent who has a nicely balanced army that can cause problems.

After some realignment of the lines the armies clashed around a dusty hilltop. The Arabs pushed back the nomads and won the day. Thanks for the game.

Division C

vakarr Bithynian 297-74 + Galatian 280-63 allies defeats Rob123 Macedonian 320-261 + Greek 280-228 allies

Score: 61-37

A hard fought battle that seemed to go in the Macdonians' favour much of the time. The Bithynian left flank was only covered by cavalry that was matched by a Macedonian contingent but there was a gap between the cavalry and the infantry which, after a cautious start, was fully exploited. Soon, it looked like the Bithynian flank would be rolled up from left to right, with nothing to stop the routs. However, the Bithynians didn't give up and the resilience of the warbands told, despite all the superior this and superior that, in the Macedonian army. A desperate charge by a superior warband fragmented a pike unit and turned the game around. The Bithynians had Macedonian troops to their rear and left flank but they were all slow moving infantry and somehow the Bithynians managed to rally or hold on long enough (e.g. there was a clash between elephants and warbands that went for nine turns) for a win.

Dregs of my right flank managed to hold on long enough for me to win the big knightly scrum in the centre.

Hard fight, especially with those vet spearmen, in which the earlier Arab army was ahead for quite some time. GG.

[Chris Townsend]

Division C

Chris Townsend decided that his Spanish 900 and Andalusian allies would meet SirMichael's German 888 in Germany, as there were too many tourists in Spain.

The German's provided a very warm welcome charging down from their hills to meet the Spanish shield wall that had been established between two woods and behind a shallow stream. Some of the German infantry broke through in the gap between the Spanish and their allies, but the German cavalry was unable to support, so, while the line disintegrated into individual melees, the damage was "contained". Light troops and bowmen from both sides disputed a marsh on the Spanish right with a narrow edge in the missile fire to the Spanish after the German support troops were distracted by Spanish cavalry emerging from the woods. This too turned into a battle of attrition, with the German flank defenders aided by their hills. A similar story developed on the Spanish left, without the marsh, with a very chaotic result making it hard to call either side the winner.

In the end, the Spanish manged to get enough of an edge in enough of the little battles to be able to take an extended stay in Germany, in order to recover from the exhausting battle.

Chris Townsend's Spanish 900 and Andalusian allies defeated SirMichael's German 888 by 64 to 50.
