The score was 27-9 in my favour on around turn 9 or so when my opponent surrendered. Not sure how that is scored.

If an opponent surrenders, the score is adjusted to the minimum needed to be counted as a win, so in this case the score would be 40-9.

Nosferatu (Croatian) wins against Stones1985 (Dabuyid) 60:37

[Stones1985]

Division A

Stones1985 (Dabbuyid) beat Morat (French/Viking) by a score of 63 to 36. A tough fight which largely revolved around a small steep hill in the middle of the battlefield. The Dabbuyids came out on top mainly because they had more troops that were able to deal with the rough/hilly terrain.

Thanks for the game.

The displayed screenshot which was taken at the end of the battle shows the terrain features. Both armies deployed on the western side of the battlefield with the Avars in the open facing the Khorasanians who held the northerly gap between the woods.

Wary of the enemy's elephants the Avars tried to get into the enemy rear through a wide encircling movement through the eastern half of the map. That was overly optimistic given the unsuitable terrain which heavily constricted their exit but it did have the advantage of the Khorasanians dividing their elephants. Two went north to block the exit and the other pursued the Avars by a shortcut next to the woods which was soon occupied by supporting archers. The Avars launched repeated arrows storms particularly targetting the nearby elephant which was also suicidally attacked by their sole irregular infantry. With their arrows mainly depleting to low, weakened by return fire and with the arrival of the other elephants and supporting forces the Avars beat a hasty retreat back to the western open area losing a number of trapped units.

In the fire actions there they managed to finally break the heavily damaged elephant and destroy some enemy infantry but their low fire had no effect on the other elephants. With time running out the Avars were greatly relieved to emerge with the draw. Thanks Rob for a good game.
