Batesmotel (Early Nike) 24/38 def Turk1964 (Hamnidads) 42/41

No camps looted No commanders killed

The Hams werent at their best in this battle and poor performance by the Lancers cost them the battle. Well done to the great manouvering by the Nikes,just couldnt quite get around them.

Once again the Gods please us on the Battlefield.

GodS? You're a Pagan? I'm afraid that means you lose 90,000 Renown!

Lord Chaldia celebrates by marring two of his daughters

Marrying your own children is really frowned upon - lose 10,000 Renown (for each daughter). But if you really meant marring, then that's fine (though an odd way to celebrate).

(Aristides to confirm)

Yes, a very small, bald and lonely leader did run away due to becoming terrified at the unbelievable dice of the opposing army.
Also, I took the field. Also, also, challenge made via pm to Turk.

After a titanic struggle, the Arabs prevail (just!) over the Byzantines. Thanks to Chris for the great battle, they don't get any closer!

keyth (Arabs) 39/40
defeated
batesmotel (Byzantines) 39/38

Byzantine camp looted, one Arab FC killed, don't think I got any Byzantine commanders.

Looks like the Byzantines also lost 1 TC. If only my inept skirmishers had looted the Arab camp on the first try, would have gone the other way

batesmotel (Nikephorian Byzantine-early) - 24/38
Turk1964 (Hamdanids) - 42/41

On a map with more terrian than the Byzantines wanted, the Arab lancers weren't able to really bring their weight to bear. The Byzantine lancers managed to beat Arab lancers in the open and in the celarings in the woods before the Arab flanking force could turn the Byzantine left flank. No camps were looted and I think the Arabs lost one general (TC) but not certain. No Byzantine commanders were lost. Thanks for a fun and challenging game.

[Turk1964]

Gday Chris I only had 2 commanders a FC and TC and both were still alive at the end of the battle

what did i do ?
is there a bullseye painted on my back or something....

[keyth]

Think of the glory

[keyth]

As far as I can see, Summer will be complete once Turk1964 vs. Aristides and Tophat vs. iandavidsmith have been resolved. Maybe it's time to consider what Autumn may bring...

Did I mention that the ownership of provinces may stand or fall depending on these outcomes? The tension is palpable

Cheers,

[Turk1964]

Ah we shall see

[keyth]

Can the protagonists let us know where they are up to in the two remaining battles? I'd like to be able to move things along into Autumn ASAP.

Cheers.

[Turk1964]

Gday Keyth
The game between Aristides and myself is progressing very slowly on about turn 8 i think.The time difference is making play rather dificult as i am in Oz and we seem to be able to only manage a turn per day. So at this rate it will be some time before we are finished Can you make a suggestion as to what is to happen?

Cheers Turk

[iandavidsmith]

The game between Tophat and myself is well under way.
Its turn 7 and it bloody and violent , just like we all love it.
Its anyones game , although Tophat general just swallowed
a fly and and is now decomposing on the battlefield.

Your bloodily ,
Ian

[keyth]

As long as we're still underway, that's the main thing!
