Div D

mejobo's Antigonids defeat excubitor's Pyrrhics 62-48

Another close battle with rough hill on the Antigonid left and open field on the right. I more or less did an oblique attack with a bit more medium infantry than the Pyrrhics on the hill and an echelon formation (and also double ranked near the hill) push with the pikes alongside across the open field. Was a bit of a race against some cavalry going for a long flank around the hill and behind a wood on the Antigonid side of the hill, where a few medium infantry and javelins were able to defeat some and prevent others from arriving before the battle was largely decided. Still ended up getting close as pikes and warbands managed to wear down the pikes on the refused Antigonid right flank and turn the battle into the remaining Antigonids fighting downhill from their original left to the right. At that point the Antigonids were closer to the Pyrrhic starting line and vice versa, and it seemed unlikely the battle would swing back to a Pyrrhic victory as too much of the Pyrrhic force were cavalry or hoplites trapped in a swirling melee. In contrast, the Antigonids could afford to lose their encircled units left behind in that chaos while pressing down in a more controlled fashion with a pretty solid line of remaining pikes and thureophoroi - as well as some cavalry that had pursued through some gaps created in the push of pike early on, or had evaded around the right flank, now conveniently encircling the remaining Pyrrhic force.

Division C skirmish invite request:

Hello All, I am unable to create the Dark Ages Division C skirmish matchups with:

ulysisgrunt
excubitor
wulf85

Could you three please try creating the skirmish for our Division C matchup? The support team informed me of a possible DLC issue but stated that the future opponent creating the skirmish should solve the problem. I have been able to set-up other skirmish matches across two tournaments.

I will send as a PM

[devoncop]

Division B

devoncop (Knights of St John 145-1500) beat Asterix_von_TWC (Byzantine Central with Anatolian Turk Allies) 48-23

Tournament Pts :

devoncop = 48+25....... 73pts

Asterix_v0n_TWC = 23 pts


A particularly fortuitous turn in a swirling contest on an open battlefield saw the Knights scrape to the necessary margin of victory against my opponents less fortunate Byzantines. Traitors within the fractious Byzantine Empire are surely responsible...

Many thanks to my opponent.

[Stones1985]

Division A

Stones1985 (Moorish/Byzantine) beat Ironclad (Romans/Huns) by a score of 42 to 11. A tough match up for the Romans not helped by a large steep hill which swarmed with Moorish Light Infantry.

Thanks for the game.

[SawyerK]

Division D

SawyerK leading the Macedonian 355-329 BC army with Greek 460-281 BC ally

defeated

Indibil and his Parthian 250 BC to 225 AD army with Seleucid 166-125 BC ally

by 40-14.

The two parties waged a positional battle that unfolded slowly. Initially, the Parthians extended their light and heavy cavalry archers on their right flank, but they were repulsed by javelin horse and numerous light foot protected by a marsh. A left flank extension by the Parthian massed archers into a zone of rough ground had a debilitating effect on the Macedonians, but a surprise assault by medium foot out of a forested area eliminated the archers. When the Macedonians' pikes extended forward, they caught just enough of the Parthian forces to obtain a 40-14 victory before ever encountering the Seleucid pikes or Argyraspides.

Div C

alexhstandish (Anglo Irish) defeated NeroWolfe (German) 52:19

The Anglos brought Longbow spear and axe, and hid a lot of their weaker troops in woods. The Germans picked numerous dismounted knights who proved to be invulnerable to everything the Anglos threw at them. The Longbows and some kerns did however manage to take out some mounted knights and after a grueling fight between two woods the Anglos managed to prevail.

A tough fight, thank you NeroWolfe
