[Chris Townsend]

Division B

Chris Townsend's Egyptian 1200 defeated alexmike1's Syro-Cannanite 1207 and their Egyptian 1149 allies 51 to 22.

It was a suitably dry map with the defensive terrain on the Egyptian side (a woods and enclosures in the centre, a low hill going forward on their left, and an open hill behind their right flank. The Egyptians placed close fighters and bowmen in the enclosures, light archers in the woods, and the guard in between. On the open right flank they had half a dozen light chariots, while their left flank contained the attacking force of Libyans, supported by skirmishers, a chariot and an early cavalry. The Syro-Cannanites deployed a large force of heavy and light chariots on their left, driving the Egyptians back to the hill. Their main force was primarily composed of impact swordsmen, with some supporting missile troops, which, together with some diverted chariots made short work of the Egyptian guard and light troops. The diverted chariots allowed the Egyptian chariots to successfully return to the fray by disrupting the remaining heavy chariots with bow fire. Meanwhile, the close fighters in the enclosures held, allowing the Libyans to sweep in from their flank, and this proved decisive.

Good game!

Division B

Chris Townsend's Egyptians 1200 defeat Rob123's Cimmerian 750 42 to 15.

The Egyptians had rough ground across their entire front, with a curious mountain to their left. The Cimerians had open ground but funny terrain (i.e a lake) behind their lines, meaning that retreats were going to be a problem. And, with a lack of lancers/heavy mounted units, retreat was the name of the game, despite substantial Egyptian losses from horse archer fire. There were some curious interactions between Egyptian chariots and Cimmerian horse archers (neither would stand and fight), and some local Cimmerian successes, but, ultimately, after a tough fight, it was the wrong army in the wrong terrain.

Good game.

[Aetius39]

Division A

Aetius (Egyptians) defeats ulysisgrunt (Hittites) 46-15


The Hittites decided to be ancient warfare's panzer division; a horde of heavy chariots came at the Egyptians. They gave a lot of damage, more than the score shows, but ultimately the arrows and flanks were too much for them. GG!

Thanks for the game.

[Aetius39]

Division A

Aetius (Egyptians) defeats Bodhran (Neo-Hittites) 52-18


It took some time to get the battle going, as lines moved up, then re-organized, and then the Neo-Hittite chariots launched an arrow blitz, which damaged badly but not critically the Egyptian right. Things held up and the chariots got pushed back with losses, and then the lines clashed, with success on the Egyptian right. The Neo-Hittites broke through on their right later on, but it was too late. A closer game than the score shows, gg!

[SawyerK]

Division B

SawyerK with the Babylonian 890-729 BC army and Neo-Hittite ally

defeated

rockmanbob123 and his Skythian 75-551 BC army

by 62-37.

The Babylonians used rough ground on their left and right flanks to hold back the heavy cavalry of their opponent, bolstering the contested middle with light and heavy chariots. With units from each side rapidly depleted by massive arrow fire, the game tilted late to the Babylonians and their chariots.

[Nijis]

Div A

Nijis (Babylonians) defeats ulysisgrant (Hittites) 43-14.

The heavy chariots of the Hittites and their Aramean allies was met by a Babylonian force of generally lighter chariots and camels. Lucky shooting allowed the Babylonians to weather the initial impact, while their infantry moved up to win the ensuing melee.
