rockmanbob123 Frankish 496-599 - 41% losses
drew with
countykgamer Indo-Greek 175 BC-10 AD - 49% losses

Strange game fought entirely in a small wood to the North of the map. Officially a draw I think but Rockmanbob123 edged it 41-49 at the final whistle.

[excubitor]

Division D

excubitor (Pyrrhic 274-272) defeats Antivirt (Macedonian 320-261 + Greek 280-228 allies)
57-19

The two armies formed two parallel lines comprised mostly of phalanxes.
Pyrrhic had all their cavalry on their left - facing most of Macedonian cavalry - and had extended their front significantly to their right, with far more medium infantry than the Macedonians. The Macedonians, fearing a Pyrrhic cavalry's domination, moved all their cavalry to their right and managed to dominate the cavalry battle due to their better quality and superiority in numbers (+1 unit). However, Pyrrhic cavalry managed to withstand enemy attacks, giving enough time for the Pyrrhic infantry to beat the Macedonian. The infantry battle, although balanced in the center, went very badly for the Macedonians (mostly due to their bad luck) as they lost 2 heavy infantry units in the first clash. As the Pyrrhic medium infantry easily outflanked the inferior in numbers Macedonian left, they outflanked the Macedonian front, and their rear attacks collapsed the enemy's front.
Despite the difference in the score, the battle was lost by the Macedonians, mostly due to their bad luck in the first phases of the engagement.

[Morat]

Div A

Morat (Franks and Saxons) defeated Stones1985 Arab (Umayyad): 60-53

Battle which swung to and fro and was decided by the finest of margins - Franks had a series of units that were close to collapse when they finally hauled themselves over the line.

Thanks to Stones1985 for (another) excellent game.

[rpadilla1988]

Div B

rpadilla1988 Crusader 1155 W/ Byz allies defeats IMC Danish 1200 W/ Baltic allies 48-4
Don't let the numbers fool you.. I was lucky with some pretty comfortable terrain for crossbowmen.. IMC was a real trooper for bringing the fight to an opponent with the high ground.. GG!

And/ rpadilla1988 Crusader W/Byz allies defeats mcfcivo Crusader W/ Syrian allies 42-11
Again I had good terrain, was able to capitalize on a firing line with the addition of a unit of crossbows on the high ground on the hill directly behind piling on the enemies opposite line. GG!

[rpadilla1988]

Div B

rpadilla1988 Byzantine 988-1041 defeats Bagatrix1805 Khorasanian W/Dailami allies 42-15

Bagatrix had the option of winning by DQ do to my absence in starting the battle, but was a good man and allowed me the chance to battle. The Byzantine got the upper hand early with their rain of arrows but near the end Bagatrix had found footing on my left.. luckily my troops were able to hold the line. GG!

[IMC]

Division B: Dark Ages period of 600 AD - 1000 AD.

[principesromanes]

Division C

principes romanes (Lithuanian 1100-1299 with Baltic Tribes 1050-1283) defeats alexhstandish (Anglo-Irish 1275-1319 with Irish 1260-1319 allies) 61-50

There was a large rough patch in the middle of an otherwise open field. The Lithuanian and Baltic foot of course headed for it. The Anglo-Irish, not being made fully of medium foot, decided to give it at least a modest birth. The armies stared at each other for a bit (we contemplated a draw), before the Lithuanians (or at least, their impetuous Baltic allies) saw an opportunity to charge out from the rough to generate a proper battle.

As expected, the English knights cut through some archers, but the Lithuanaians were able to more or less contain the damage and prevent any victorious knights from rolling up the flanks. Meanwhile, the impact foot - supported by some heavy archery - got the best of the proper infantry fight and was able to wrap up the remnants before the one English knight that had gotten bogged down in a protracted melee could be saved and its harassers beaten up.

It was, indeed, close as the score suggested but also a lot of fun.

Thanks as always to the organizers and all my opponents for the wonderful tournament too!

[markleslie]

Division A

markleslie Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC with Egyptian 1149-1069 BC defeats Stones1985 Libyan 1250 to 651 AD with Sea People 67-37.

Turn 2
Plans within plans within plans, none it seems involve a straight up fight.


Turn 10
A very extended pre battle in game redeployment phase comes to an end and the new battle lines are drawn.

https://jeweledthrones.blogspot.com/202 ... ainst.html

The Syrians had the advantage of the hill in the centre which proved pivotal in grinding down the Libyan hard men, opening the way to the very large number of massed archers in the rear.

A crisp salute for the foe, Stones1985, always a tough opponent til the very end.

To the organizers and all those who far too often twarted my will on far too many occasions, salute!
