TDC IX Early Medieval - Results

[Stones1985]

Division A

Stones1985 (Order of St John) beat Cherebuschka (Armenian/Cilician) by a score of 51 to 25.

The game got off to a poor start for me where a unit of my heavy Cavalry Turcopoles failed to beat a Light Infantry bow in the open despite hitting it in the back. The melee continued for several turns until some of the Light Infantry's friends turned up and hit the Turcopoles in the flank routing them. Sadly for my opponent that was the extent of his fortune. My Highly Superior Knights were on magnificent form and his line crumbled.

Thanks for the game.

but only just

61:57 The English and the Sicilians went toe to toe pretty much from the start. The English appeared to have an advantage at the beginning and certainly won the infantry battle but the Sicilian knights where on brilliant form and won all the evenly balanced matchups. The Sicilian light cav caused immense damage to the English and returned the match to an even match up and then accelerated past the English. Right at the end the English managed to defeat some enemy knights, caught a couple of fragmented infantry trying to hide and managed to hide their own battered troops just long enough. One rally would have won it for the Sicilians - I asked for more close matchups and this was balanced on a knife edge. Great game.
