[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.

Rob 123 Indian Rajput 650-1049AD

67- 55

Very hard fought game, both armies took a real battering, swung one way then the other, for a while the Indian Elephants looked like they would crush all before them, but (fortunately for me) they got carried away with their success and ran off after fleeing spaniards. Unfortunately for India leaving the villagers to the mercy of the Arab veterans. They did (eventually) come storming back onto the pitch,but before they could crash in for round two the game ended!

Thanks Rob, close one!
