The Huns are being battered by both the Alammans and the Lombards............while Attila is away taking Honoria out on a date.

The Jeepids blindly invade 3 unkown territories on the steppes, need more sheep pastures

3 challengers up for grabs:
password barbarians (crap, if barbarians doesnt work, just leave off the s )

batesmotel (Alans) - 34/41
TheGrayMouser (Gepids) - 60/53

Hindered by tepid dice, the more numerous Gepids were unable to envelope and collapse the Alan right flank quickly enough to compensate for the rout of their right flank in the face of armoured Alan lancers. Thanks for the game.

The Gepids realised rubber lances wernt the way to go after their defeat by the Alani and have switched over to more tradional materials

Gepids 12/53
vs
Huns 47/43

Thanks for the game Camlan!

Powerulfus came back and led his Lombards (26:56) to a lucky victory against Steve's Alamans (66:57)

Hi,

Sorry guys but I was away for most of the week. Played with Lombard until now.
Just posted three new challenges. Password: barbarians

Cheers

batesmotel (Alans) 6/41
steve-h8 (Alamanni) 57/57

Fightinh on the map with lakes across the middle, the Alamanni were defeated in detail. Tehir Alan allies were ganged up on by the Alans and then the Major portion of the Alans in pursuit of their raitorous breathen captured the Alamanni camp which held the flank of their river line so the Alans forced their way across in a tenacious battle but one with an inevitable outcome. Thanks for the game, Steve.

Keeping my perfect streak alive........the Huns are now the Hons.........as in..........'Here take out the trash you loser...........'

Frankpowerful and his Lombards 24/56
camlan and his Hons 41/38

Good game Frank............sorry I couldn't be more of a challenge {in fact, I need to just cut and paste that apology}

camlan, i posted a rematch for you...anyway, i think you were right, the early huns look very weak...maybe attila's army is a bit better, having some infantry allies, i guess

omarquatar · Post by **omarquatar** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 1:29 pm

as TGM seems to shy to report his own victory, i will announce that his Gepids (33/53) have badly defeated frankpowerful's Lombards (59/56), ending forever the dreams of establishing a lombard empire on the plains of Pannonia...

and here's the table up to now:

frankpowerful played 4 pts 9
graymouser played 3 pts 6
batesmotel played 2 pts 6
steve-8 played 2 points 0
tofman04 played 1 points 0
camlan played 2 points 0

TheGrayMouser · Post by **TheGrayMouser** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 5:27 pm

Gepid
40/53
Alamani
64/57

The Alamani heavy foot, (hampered by less than stellar dice) succumbed to repeated lance charges

**the scores should have been lower but yet another camp related bug methinks forced me to take another entire turn despite the fact that Steve was over his Bp level when he ended his last turn... cursed bugs.....

omarquatar · Post by **omarquatar** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 9:42 pm

Frankpowerful's Lombards (28/56) beat Batesmotel's Alans (44/44) in a battle i'd prefer not to comment

This ends the Lombard campaign with 4 victories and 1 loss to the Gepids, who are now our respected masters

camlan · Post by **camlan** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 11:32 pm

The Huns take it on the chops again, this time from Steve's Alammani

44/43
15/57

a whitewash..........hmmmm......this is getting repetitive.

omarquatar · Post by **omarquatar** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:47 pm

and here's the table after 20 games played:

tofman04 · Post by **tofman04** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 8:42 pm

Right now I'm playing 3 games with camlan, batesmotel and steve-h8.
I'll post the last challenge for graymouser.

tofman04 · Post by **tofman04** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 10:09 pm

tofman04 (Early Visigoths) 58/57 vs camlan (Western Huns) 59/51 DRAW

It was a bloody and equilibrated battle, fought hard on both sides and which turned in a mess into the end.
INMHO the lack of valuable cavalry for Visigoths is a drawback for them.
Thanks for a good game to camlan.

camlan · Post by **camlan** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 10:27 pm

Tofman took mercy on the downtrodden Huns. I changed up my OOB for this one and went with a more balanced approach. Also, increased my army points substantially by going the Attila route. Also added a Gepid ally, so more lancer cav. Anyway..........it was a see-saw affair throughout the whole match. Thanks for the game Tofman.
