[cromlechi]

Division C

cromlechi - Ptolemaic 166-56 BC draws with Karvon Thracian 350 BC

A strange game where I spent most of my time chasing light troops around the map. Time ran out (and numerous rallies) to prevent me getting to 40% inflicted casualties. Thanks for the game.

[Triarii]

Division A

Triarii - Jewish (64BC-6AD) with Roman (105BC-25BC) allies beats Cunningcairn - Thracian (Hellenistic) 350-281 BC with Antigonid 320-301 BC allies 60-36

A very tough fight that went to near the last turn and was a game of many parts.
The Jewish cavalry were comprehensively duffed up on the left and marginally so on the right in two separate fights. Meanwhile the quality Thracian foot were all, bar one peltast unit,routed. But then three rallies at two very distant locations (opposite sides of the map) meant a prolonged but slow chase by the remaining Jewish foot with a sterling cavalry defence of the rallied unit being chased by the surviving Thracian cavalry and light troops. Good game.

[Triarii]

Division A

Triarii – Arab, Bedouin 300-636 AD with Byzantine 579-599 AD allies beats nyczar - Roman 425-492 AD with Frankish 260-495 AD allies 49-11

A true whirling melee after going heavy with Bedouin cavalry. This despite a map reduced by a third by a river and with very significant blocks of woods and rough ground. Which may have been an unexpected benefit in making the Bedouin choice unexpected. Anyway Bedouin cavalry all over the place were too much for the Roman and Frankish foot and an outrageously fortunate set of pursuit charges in the last turn added about 19% to the Roman casualties. This was a game in which the patch changed the potency of the Bedouin light lancers a third of the way through. To me it was significant that there could have been between three and four earlier flank charges had Roman troops turned to face rear/flank charges from LH lancers that stuck in place (without being locked there). Not one light lancer rear charge caused a disruption loss (though they remained effective at breaking fragmented units). Were there was a second combat round it was particularly hard on the Lancers irrespective of the enemy unit facing.

[Ludendorf]

Division A

Ludendorf (Hannibal in Africa 202 BC) draws with harveylh (Ptolemaic 55-30 BC with Roman 105-25 BC allies) by mutual retreat 61-60%

A nail biting throw down of a match which yielded the rarest of all Field of Glory II results (this is only the second time I have been in a situation where both armies were forced to break off combat). The battle took place in a valley between two mountains and on one of the mountains themselves. I deployed my medium-heavy army weighted to the left on one mountain, while Harvey took a balanced approach which effectively gave me an advantage on the left while he had the right. His heavier units in the centre were judged to be better than mine, so I tried to withdraw from the right-hand mountain while pressing the left.

This would have worked, but Harvey conducted a brilliant fighting retreat on the left, using his skirmishers to wall off my infantry, while his lancers intercepted and pinned down my retreating soldiers on the right. This forced me to pull around my entire battle line in a hurry to fight on the valley floor, a battle I was not prepared to fight. I reluctantly turned around and faced the dreaded Roman legions with only my skittish Punic foot as my scutarii turned around on the left and scrambled back to help them. Turn after turn my army held the line grimly against superior legionaries, fighting way above their pay grade as infantry, cavalry and lights all tussled together with each other in an attempt to break open the flanks, reinforcements for both sides arriving constantly from elsewhere on the field. Incredibly, it was my right who won their side of the battle and my once-stronger left who lost, as Harvey's own right turned and got the better of my left as I was forced to send too much over towards the other side of the field.

The battle went back and forth, with rallies, a plague of freakishly unlikely disruptions, and some of the bravest last stands on both sides imaginable as something as simple as a rallying unit of mediums denied harvey victory, and then a single unit of routers being in the exact wrong spot frustrated me just a few turns later. For a split moment, it looked like I might win by a hair's edge, but harvey threw a unit of skirmishers against my superior balearic slingers, trapped them as they turned to flee unexpectedly, and took them from Steady to Broken in a single stroke thrown on the very last turn, bringing him to exactly 60% of my army routed.

This is one of the most intense games of Field of Glory I've had, and certainly the most intense since the tournament began. I'll give you a game any time if you can match this one Harvey!

A difficult victory : my infantry take the upper hand after a long battle where the legios surrendered only after several flanking but enemy skirmishers and cavalry were difficult to contain as they were contesting the result till the end.
Thanks for the game.

[devoncop]

Division C

devoncop (Andalucian 756AD with Spanish allies) beat sunnyboy (Scots 851AD with Viking allies) by 51% to 20%

Won on the very last turn and only after Sunnyboy made the courageous decision to go for the win rather than settle for a 2-2 draw as both armies at mid game had settled into defensive positions facing each other across a valley. The score does not reflect how close his assault was to succeeding.
