defeats

snooky51 Roman 105bc-25bc w/ numidian 42:8

The phalanxes had a very good day against the legions. After some careful manoeuvre the infantry lines clashed and not one phalanx buckled in the initial clash. A swirling cavalry battle on the left flank also went in the Ptolemies' favour so it was an early bath for the Romans.

Div A

Karvon Libyans 650 BC defeated random27 indian 500 BC 52 - 27.

Battle was joined on a jungle-surrounded plain. Large patches filled most of our right sector and the opposing Indian far left. A large patch fell in our left-center sector and several covered parts of the Indian sector across the field.

We divided our forces roughly in half, deploying our foot in the jungles, with our lights holding the fringes and our chariots in reserve behind the trees.

The Indians had a mass of bow screened by a few lights and medium spear. A couple of elephants and light and heavy chariots supported each flank with a few horse.

We initially, held most of forces hidden in the jungle, but showed a few of our chariots out on our far right between patches of jungle as bait.

The Indians lumbered forward, behind their screen of lights. On finding our lights in the jungle, we shot up their lights, and they brought up their bow to deal with us. On our right, they shifted their mounted, led by their elephants, to drive through our chariots, which slowly fell back before their advance.

As our lights got disrupted, we fell back through the trees to rally, while continuing to focus our fire on his mounted and elephants. On our right we sortied out on the flank of the leading elephants with our lights and dispatched them, which badly shook the nerves of the neighboring horse. These were further shaken by shooting from our bow, and then our chariots swept away the fragmented survivors.

On our left, our chariots and foot sortied out, flanked and destroyed his medium spears, then overran the bowmen behind. A probe around the right of the jungle was contained by some of our bowmen.

On our right, our foot held off an assault on the jungles by his foot and elephants, and our chariot reserve tied up an attempt to flank by his heavy chariots. On the far right, our pursuing chariots saw off some of his foot.

[Aetius39]

Division A

Aetius (Carthaginians) defeats rafydedel (Bosporans) 44-13


The Carthaginians got some early drops and kept going with it, although they had to be careful as the Bosporans were dangerous up until the end, not going down without a good fight. GG!

Div C

alexhstandish (Skythian and Thracian) defeats Bagatrix1805 (Parthian) 45 : 60

A tough game. The Skythians should have left the Thracian infantry at home as they just got killed off, but the horse archers took out the opposing light horse and then whittled down the cataphracts to eventually get over the line.

thanks for the game Simon

[GDod]

Div B

GDod Selecuid defeats frederic Pyrrhic 61/42

An even match with very similar list selections until the end.
The Pyrrhic forward momentum twas thwarted by a stubborn resistance in and around the wooded area on their left while the Selecuid pike hurriedly formed squares on the Pyrrhic right after all the Selecuid cavalry fled the field. A refreshing pike based classical game. Cheers frederic, always a pleasure.
