[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

Thanks for the game.

[Nijis]

Div A

Nijis (Poles) defeats Hari72 (Indian) 42-3. The Poles came up against an army that had already defeated several of the greatest powers in Europe, including one or two that had swept away their own forces from the field. The combination of heavily armored knights, war wagons and pavisier infantry, however, proved tough for the Indians, whose main striking power was medium cavalry. The battlefield was just broken enough to make it hard to bring the elephants to bear, especially as most Polish troops, both horse and foot, carried some sort of missile weapon. Luck too was on the Poles' side, as their pavisiers volleys were sufficient to break up most Indian charges before impact - a relatively rare occurrence.

Thanks for the game!

[Nijis]

I think there might be a small error in the tables. Div A scores show me winning 61-42 against Bagatrix, when in fact he defeated me. I think the win/loss ratios are correct as of the table's Aug 26 date, though. Apologies if I got anything wrong there.

[excubitor]

Division C

excubitor Byzantine 600-649 AD - vs - Ironclad French 888-1049 AD and Viking 790

excubitor won 48-18

Bizantines formed a wide front covering most of the initial set-up area with the bulk of their cavalry on their left.
The French started with a narrower formation, spreading along half the initial setup area, with a huge elite cavalry force taking up their right side (twice the size of the opposite Byzantine cavalry) and a smaller infantry force on their left side, opposite the Byzantine front.
The Byzantines feared that the French cavalry would easily overrun their left side, well before their right side would have engaged the enemy. So they started retreating to delay fighting until infantry reinforcements arrive from their center, and their right side would engage/outflank the enemy infantry. As French cavalry pushed deep into the byzantine side, they were cut off from their infantry. The Byzantine cavalry counter-attacked, picking off exposed cavalry units. just as the Byzantine infantry from the center arrived and formed a new diagonal front that prevented the French cavalry from spreading to its full strength. Fighting was intense, and victory was not easy as French units were very hard to defeat, even while fragmented. In the end, the combined Byzantine infantry and cavalry units managed to defeat many French cavalry units, while the rest of the French army was almost outflanked by the superior in numbers Byzantine units.
A very nice game with a lot of maneuvering; victory was unclear until the very end of the battle.
