Pool B-1

hidde(28th-30th Dynasty Egyptian) 62/66 defeats rexhurley(Later Spartan) 61/58

Mayhem and carnage that stretched from one side of the map to the other.
Egyptian archers did very well and had a big part in the outcome.

[NZsam03]

Pool A-2

Nzsam03 (Early Gatae) 34/57 defeats Ulysisgrunt (28th-30th Dynasty Egyptian) 64/59

Fighting the majority of combat in an open field gave the Gatae medium foot a distinct advantage which the Egyptians could not overcome despite a spirited showing from their greek mercenaries.

[Peterabb]

Pool B-2

MIRROR MATCH
PeterAbb: Alexandrian Macedonian 37/50 defeated Majandro: Early Carthaginian 57/50

After having our first initial battle, I thought that the win could go either way in these battles when you have Offensive spear HF fighting each other. So I decided to put my luck in having Medium Foot and hoping for some good rough terrain to fight in. It seemed to work out for me. Still, the Early Carthaginians put up a hell of a fight.

[tofman04]

Pool D2

tofman04 (Thracian) 59/67 defeats Ironclad (Thessalian) 65/59

Another hard fought battle on a very open battle field suitable for heavy hoplites. But Thracians managed to won on the both flanks surrounding the Thessalian centre which collapsed in the end.
Thanks for the game.

[Ironclad]

Pool D2

Ironclad (Thracian) 71/71 draws with Boggit (Early Carthaginian) 48/47

Close fight, fought in the open with the Thracians making a major push on their left to outflank the long Carthaginian line. The latter responded with blocking units and advances in the centre and their left. Close quarters fighting finally saw the Carthaginians pull ahead before the god of luck helped the Thracians to a last turn equaliser. Great battle.

Ulysisgrunt's Achaemenid Persians 16/44
over Tullis' Getae 62/58

[Yuknoom]

Pool a-1
Yuknoom's Greeks 32/52 defeated Lydianed's Macedonians 38/38.

In the mirror game, finished a couple of days ago, lydianed won, I don't see that one posted yet.

[Jonathan4290]

I just want to clarify that all Persian armies should be using the LATER Darius list 331 bc and not the early Darius list.

[Ironclad]

Pool D2

Ironclad (Early Carthaginian) 54/55 defeats Boggit (Thracian) 66/61

Another nail biter was decided by Carthaginian good fortune which enabled its collapsing right to hold long enough for its victorious left to successfully intervene.

[Boggit]

Boggit Carthaginian 40/47 bt Tofman4 Thessalian 55/53

A tough fight wit an excellent opponent. It was a race to the centre - I broke the right flank then centre, but my left flank was overwhelmed.
