The slugfest battle reached the 24-turn limit

[ulysisgrunt]

I don't know if this above game is a victory, as it was a draw. Control of the battlefield does not constitute victory; it is the point total.
ulysisgrunt sufferd 59 points loss
SirMichael 56.

I (ulysisgrunt) was still attacking exposed units when the game ended.


It is a draw but SirMichael will receive 3 more points.

Just checking the thread and table and I think there is a missing result.
I think random27 maybe has forgotten to post his thrashing of my Vikings ending the 19th August.

Random27 defeats Lunecastle 47-14

It has been recorded.

[excubitor]

Division C

excubitor (Byzantine 600-649 AD) - vs - wulf85 (Rus 960-1053 + Vikings)

excubitor won: 73-39

(actual score - not calculated on the 100 scale)

The battlefield on the Russian side was a big valley with woods on both sides and two small paths on the outer sides of the woods. As the Russian army lacked any javelin units, the Byzantines managed to dominate unchallenged in both forests. The Russian army included only 3 heavy cavalry units, while the Byzantines had 3-4 times more. On the other hand, Russian infantry was far more numerous and seemed like an unstopable wall for the Byzantines. The Byzantines realized that a frontal attack was doomed, so they managed to outflank both sides with three cavalry units on each side, while at the same time, they tried to stall/avoid infantry engagement. When the infantry fighting started, the situation seemed hopeless for the Byzantines. Thanks to their luck, some of their units managed to beat their opponents, and 2 of the routed Byzantines managed to rally. As the Byzantine cavalry prevailed against the smaller Russian one, they started attacking isolated Russian infantry units, and in the end achieved a difficult victory, in a battle that 5 turns before seemed to be lost for them!

And for my final match result:

Division C:

24 turn limit: DRAW

SirMichael (German 888 - 932) 50

rockmanbob123 (Viking 900 - 1049 + French) 51

Another slugfest which was the norm for the most part playing as the Germans. The fact that rockmanbob's Vikings had some Frenchies along for the ride gave the Germans that extra fight lust to gain the points edge.

[Triarii]

Div A

Triarii Andalusian 756-1049 with Spanish 900
defeats
lunecastle Viking(Ireland) 900-1049 AD and Scots 85

Score 42-11
Terrain with had a ridge beckoning the Vikings but it led towards a higher hill and woods swarming with effective missile troops. The damage they inflicted on the better quality Viking foot was crucial.

[carpenkm]

Div A

Carpenkm (Viking) beat Lunecastle (also Viking)
65-41

A proper bloodbath. Well played.

[Triarii]

Div A

Triarii Andalusian 756-1049 with Spanish 900
defeats
frederic02 Byzantines 963-984 AD

score 48-62

A very close and tough fight where the Byzantine cavalry thrashed the Andalusian horse but the Andalusian spearmen just managed to thrash the Byzantine Skoutatoi by slightly more. Good game.

[carpenkm]

Div A

carpenkm (viking) beat Random27 (Hindu)
