[Jtrillodmp]

Jtrillodmp with Egyptians,
defeated
Rosedelio with Fatimids

60-41

The Egyptians’ superiority on this map was made clear by their second victory. Their combination of chariots and infantry, on a map that suited them very well, gradually turned the tide of the battle, although the Fatimid cavalry put up a spectacular fight.

[Jtrillodmp]

Jtrillodmp with Papals,
defeated
Solemnace with Romans

61-45

The Romans feared an army consisting entirely of knights and had taken up positions on a hill. The Papal forces’ advance towards their positions and the harassment by light units motivated most of the legionaries to come down from the hill, leading to an intriguing duel with the dismounted knights. Although hit by enemy stones, the Papal cavalry rose to the challenge and proved decisive in the final hours.

[Jtrillodmp]

Jtrillodmp with Syro-Canaanites,
defeated
Rockmanbob123 with Crusaders

56-31

The Syro-Canaanites’ strategy of fielding a massive chariot force paid off, as they were able to defeat the opposing mass of Knights by wearing them down with arrows and outflanking them with their numerous units. The Crusaders’ infantry and crossbowmen could do little to counter this, whilst they were in turn harassed by the chariots and light infantry units.

[Solemnace]

Solemnace's Genoese defeated Rockmanbob123's Trojans 60-39

The Trojans through skilled maneuvering of their chariots and horsemen were largely able to oumaneuver the Genoese knights and Infantry on the Genoese right. Unfortunately despite a spirited effort the Trojan center and right was largely torn to shreds by the Genoese infantry and knights though not without significant losses for the Genoese in the process.

[Solemnace]

Solemnace's Hittites draw with Vukteble's Ottomans 60(Hittite Losses)-65(Ottoman Losses)

The Ottomans managed to destroy the Hittite right without much difficulty but the Hittite Chariots routed the Ottoman right and where able to turn towards the center where the Ottoman has the initial advantage in the fighting but lsot ground as the Hittite Chariots arrived. A lucky rally allow the Hittites to hold for one more turn to break a swathe of Ottoman units to shatter their army but the time also allowed the Ottomans to finished off one more Hittite unit to leave the battle as effectively a draw though the Hittites nominally came off slightly better.

[Maeglyr]

Maeglyr - Genoese
defeated
VukTeble - Trojans

42-10

The Trojan light infantry was a little too bold for their own health. A few shields and crossbows allowed us to counter a timid charge on our right flank. The heavily armored center plunged cautiously but determinedly into the enemy infantry.

defeated
rockmanbob123 - Romans

65-47

God was on our side but not too much. Many of our infantrymen fell on their swords and our cavalry was a bit too heavy. Fortunately, powder and steel eventually outweighed javelins and sandals.

[Maeglyr]

Maeglyr - Trojans
defeated
VukTeble - Genoese

49-18

Our right flank, largely composed of chariots, took care of the light Genoese infantry, under the frightened eyes of oarsmen who, exhausted by days of rowing, could not arrive on time.

Our left flank suffered significant losses but was able to distract a sufficient portion of the opposing infantry to allow our frail center to move forward, very carefully and engage the fierce billmen and some crossbowmen.

Our little reserve of chariots, probably swifter than eagles, and some of those on our right flank, which were still thirsty for glory, completed the encirclement on the plain and dispersed enough Italian to preserve our trading rights.
