defeats
random27 byzantine 1155-1204 + crusader 1155-1291
Score 45-62

The Castillians were feeling an early advantage after injudicious pursuits by half the Crusader knights, of routed light troops, left the mercenary Crusaders exposed to flank attacks and rout. Sadly the over-excited Castillian C-in-C then died fighting some lowly bowmen dismaying almost all his surrounding troops. Unfortunately that included their flank protection which went straight to rout and the, newly disrupted, Castillian line was rolled up in the pursuit by horse archers. After that a fragmented and chaotic battle was probably only decided by the remaining Byzantine Knights pursuing for longer, having started later. So the Byzantine quality were still a couple of turns away while the remaining Castillian knights had returned from their pursuits and were finishing off raw spearmen and bowmen.

Good game and so very very close. Many thanks to random for yet another tough marginal game.

Div B

rpadilla1988 (Crusader) defeats Bagatrix1805 (German imp) 40-8

The crusaders found themselves on the favorable end of the field, with heavy woods and rough ground to their left; open desert to the right. The crusader army placed crossbows within the woods, and pavisiers with spears to the right; with cav and knits shoring up the flank.. but hidden within the woods to the left were crusader horseman (turcpoles, nomands and knigts.)

The battle started, the Germans heavy with infantry; crossbows and brigands ready to assault the woods; spearmen and heavy horse ready to take the open ground to the right. Storms of bolts struck through the air with both sides taking casualties, and the Crusader pavisiers getting battered but holding to the right. When the time was right the crusaders struck, the hidden cav bursting out and on the left taking quick opportunity to secure the win for the battle on the woodline.

GG Bagatrix1805!

[alexhstandish]

Div C

alexhstandish (Anglo Irish) defeats Asterix (Byzantine with Crusaders) 44:6

The Anglo Irish fearing a huge force of enemy knights chose to leave their knights and cavalry at home, and maxed out on longbows, spear and axemen, accompanied by the usual gaggle of smelly Kern.

Setting up their longbows on a two rear hills with spear and axe in between the Anglos declined the Byzantine invitation to come down onto the plain and die, leading to the Byzantines bravely attacking. The Anglo spear and axe stood tall and fought off knights and armoured spear. Meanwhile the longbow did their thing and shot up a lot of horses. The Kern did not a lot.

A much closer game than the score line shows, thanks Asterix.

[Rosedelio]

Div A

Rosedelio (Polish) defeats lunecastle (Aragonese) 47-19

Polish massed archers and lights were able to win the skirmish against the Aragonese lights while mostly avoiding their massed crossbows. Then the Polish infantry were able to use a hill against the Aragonese infantry.
