2018 Tournament

[ahuyton]

Thanks, Andre, interesting match-ups.

I posted the three challenges, pw is indicated in the challenge comment line

I could not find the Russian army specified so used the Russian army closest in date to the designated Coaasack army.

Hi Awsome, can you clarify the Scots list? there is no 1494-1540 list , there is 1494-1512 or 1514-1539 The first is all spears , the later pikes, vastly different army really... Cheers!

Hi guys,

sorry for the mistake on the Scots army, its the earlier one with spears. Much more exciting battle than the one with huge blocks of pike trudging forward relentlessly.

Great, game is up for TGM, pw snuggles

[SnuggleBunnies]

SnuggleBunnies (Cossacks) defeat ahuyton (Russian) 28-59

SnuggleBunnies 9 pts
ahuyton 2 pts

A hard matchup for the Russians, I think, due to the vast numbers of cheap Cossack infantry.

My games with TGM are concluded

TGM won with his Russians against my Coassacks, 49-23 so 8 points to 2
I won with Teutons against his German peasants, 44-11, so 9 points to 1

Two violent but friendly games, as ever.

[ahuyton]

My last two games finished, one against SB, who won (9-1 I think) and PB, who also won (8-2 I think), but it is up to them to report their triumphs with accuracy.

[SnuggleBunnies]

Oh yes, my apologies

SnuggleBunnies (Teutonic Knights) defeats ahuyton (German Peasants) 46-16

As ahuyton posted above,

SnuggleBunnies: 9
ahuyton: 1

Having been wrecked in my game as peasants, I feel the pain.

[awesum4]

Wow, some impressive victories there.

I believe there are 3 games still to finish; both games between Snugglebunnies and TG, 1 game between Pantherboy and TGM.

pantherboy (German Peasants) 44% defeats TGM (Teutonic Knights) 61% (7pts - 4pts)

The final match was the toughest for me and a real nail biter. After a good start for the peasants the Teutons punched through their center gaining the upper hand but the peasant numbers and stringing out of the small Teutonic army allowed me to wrest control back and flank a number of his units. A really good game.

Cheers to all my opponents and Andre for organizing. I really enjoyed my matches and look forward to crossing pikes with everyone again.

So how many games do you guys have left before a winner/champion is declared?

[awesum4]

I am waiting for the results of the second game between TGM and Snuggles, then the overall champion will be announced.

[pantherboy]

Did they finish the final match yet?

[SnuggleBunnies]

My apologies, it wrapped up on the 11th and I didn't notice!

To be fair, Pike and Shot doesn't offer different colored text for matches that are completed but not yet viewed, and the list is sorted by when the game started, and not when it ended, so it was way down there...

So:

SnuggleBunnies (Irish) defeats TheGrayMouser (Scottish) 22-52

SnuggleBunnies: 9
TGM: 2

GG. My Galloglaich held a hill, Kern javelinmen an adjacent forest, and my light horse roamed all over the battlefield. Most of my 20% losses were from earlier in the battle when the Highlanders crashed through swaths of my battle line before I could stabilize; the situation looked very serious until late in the day.

Thanks to all who took part, I hope you enjoyed some epic battles, regardless of the final results.

I will start a new thread in the next few days about the 2019 tournament.

[SnuggleBunnies]

Thanks so much for running it, it was a blast. I look forward to being panthered again some time later this year!
