The Gallic army (300-101 BC) defeated the Samnites 355-272 BC by 43-11. The Samnites tried to beat the Gallic army to the top of an open hill but ended up caught on the downside slopes. Very well played by Aetius39.

EGL 300 Result.

Stew101 (Lysimachid) has won the challenge from Ericdoman1 (Etruscan).
Score 54% - 22%.

I've not used pikes a lot, so I'm really pleased with this result.

It could have been a lot closer, but I had a descendant of Hercules on my side and Eric had Italian goat herders on his.
One of my sub generals led a pike block into battle at a crucial hinge in the lines.
He took on three opponents, got flanked, held, held again, held again, rallied and then finally routed all comers...... What a guy!
Meanwhile my other pike blocks, assisted by a couple of cavalry units, could face off against mainly raw Etruscan hoplites and impact foot on a 1 to 1 frontage.
The quality of my units broke the Etruscan centre and Herculio did the rest on his own.

Thanks Eric, learnt a lot about using pikes.
Shame I have to now give them up in this league, for those rotten Etruscans!

imatson2527 failed to report the results of our game.

He won 58-60.

He deployed his infantry in three lines ala Zama which lulled me into not lookin at a nearby forest which was full of crappy mediums. Despite an overwhelming attack on his right, his left swarmed out and rolled up my unsuspecting flank. A fun game. I might add that this Bosporan list is actually pretty good.

My apologies. For some reason I thought that challenging reported the outcome. Amazing game and really enjoyed playing against you!

You're correct:

The challenger shall always report the result of the game in the forum thread of the league immediately after the game has been concluded.

The Gallic army (300-101 BC) led by Aetius39 defeated the Samnites directed by SawyerK by 355-272 BC by 43-11. The Samnites tried to beat the Gallic army to the top of an open hill but ended up caught on the downside slopes. Very well played by Aetius39.

I put this comment into my original challenge message after the match but am now putting it into a new message to make the result more clear.

Yes, great: thanks! Please always put results as separate post, since then makes it possible for me to be up-to-date.

[dragmio]

The Carthaginians led by deeter have obliterated the Syracusans led by dragmio with 49-8. But the Carthaginian commander has fallen in the battle, much to the victor's chagrin and as a small consolation to the loser.
Thanks for the game, deeter!
