After the successful opening stages, when some Hunnic cavalry units were destroyed while trying to retreat towards a series of ridge protecting their camp, it came for the Gepid lancers the hard task of charging uphill and in great haste the enemy superior cavalry units nestled on steep hills, just in order to avoid their deadly missile fire. It was a really painful affair eased at times when some Gepid unit was able to overcome the resistance of the defenders and could then occupy the high ground, assailing from above the few enemy battlegroups still present on the plain. As the situation worsened on the left flank and in the centre the day was saved by the delayed charge of the right flank, where the Ostrogoth allied lancers had been waiting their time while a mass of archers peppered with arrows the defenders, lowering their ranks. The rout of some enemy units in this sector finally prompted the withdrawal of the entire Hunnic army which left the field defeated after a fierce struggle.
Gepids (Lysimachos) 43/55 vs Huns (iversonjim) 44/43
So the 3rd point of this match goes to Europe that, for the first time, wins the Companions Cup!!!!!!!
