Division A
Geffalrus (Macedonians) defeats youngr (Indo-Greek) 61-33
Convinced that they were going to face a storm of arrows, the Macedonians brought a large screen of Thracians and thureos to protect their precious pikes. Instead, the Indo-Greeks opted for a more skirmish oriented strategy, forcing the Thureos to pursue them into a large forest. While the phalanx engaged the elephants and supporting pikes, the thureos proceeded to attack the skirmishers with all the fury of a sleepy kitten. Angered at yet another invasion of Hellenistic heathens, the Indian melee troops cut a bloody swath through the thureos in the forest. The phalanx managed to overcome the elephants and pikes just barely in time and rotate their sarissas to protect the wide open flank. The Indo-Greeks begrudgingly accepted defeat, but their unbroken spirit ensured that this "victory" would not be one of those that the Macedonians boasted about in the agoras back west.
Good game to my resilient opponent.
