Division H

AKvGoeben (Hittites 1275BC-1180BC) defeats DirtyMark (Mycenaeans 1250BC-1180BC) 14-43.

A rather confusing infantry clash that ultimately went the way of the Hittites.
GGWP to DirtyMark!

Division A

eric (Viking) defeats Aetius (British) 60 - 38.

A tough battle, as always vs Aetius

eric (British) defeats Aetius (Viking) 60 - 54

Another very close encounter of the Aetius kind

Div D

With regret carpenkm claims the two games vs PrincepesRomanes who hasnt played a turn for 2 weeks.

Div D

principesromanes Bretons beats Hari72 Arabs 54-17

A mass of Breton light spear cavalry was able to sufficiently disrupt the Arab line to get flank attacks on first the Arab cavalry and then the infantry, despite the rough, hilly battlefield.

Thanks for the game!

Division B

random27 (bosphoran) defeats angusosborne (palmyran) 60-51

a tough battle again

Division C

ray552 - Spanish (Iberian) 300-10 BC defeats Karvon - Spanish (Sertorius) 80-70 BC, 43-14.

Thank you for the game.

Division C

ray552 - Spanish (Sertorius) 80-70 BC narrowly defeats Karvon - Spanish (Iberian) 300-10 BC, 60-54.

Thank you for the game.

Division D

principesromanes Sumarians defeat nyczar's Elamites 77 to 34.

Bad things happen quickly when a chariot can get loose on the flank of a bunch of already disrupted and fragged mass archers and spearmen. It was a much closer game than the final score shows!

Division B

Triarii Dialami defeats Angusosborne Arab (Abbasid) 17-44
and
Triarii Arab (Abbasid) defeats AngusOsborne (Dialami) 29-58

Two tough battles many thanks to Angus.

Also Division B

Older November results from two very very close battles. Sorry we both seem to have missed posting.
One victory each and both close.

Triarii (Dialami) defeats Random27 (Armenian) 51-63
And
Random27 (Dialami) defeats Triarii (Armenian) 55-60

In the first game several Armenian rallies turned a desperate Armenian situation into a very close battle where Armenian archers cleverly moved to a high hill were shooting the Dialami to MI to destruction as they tried to hunt down rallied Armenians.

In the second game the final turn became nail biting as Dialami cavalry just avoided auto-breaking due to casualties and Elephants rallied from broken while fragmented Armenian foot were picked off to reach the 60. Incredibly close and two epic games.

Results week 7.

Div D

LuciusSulla (Lybyan 300BC - 70AD) defeats principesromanes (Numedian / Moorish 341-56BC) 40-13

Division H.

AKvGoeben (Mycenaean 1250-1180 BC) defeats DirtyMark (Hittite 1275-1180BC) 47-61.

Another absolute mess of a battle. Initial Hittite assault on the centre-left of the Mycenaean army was making good progress but the mass chariot wing on the Mycenaean right were eventually able to get involved, no thanks to a small lake, and help turn the tide against the Hittites.

Great battle, and GGWP to DirtyMark!

Div A

tyronec defeats Aetius (Viking/German)
58-29
and
47-18

Two spearwall slugfests.

Division D

PrincipesRomanes Elamites defeat nycazar's Sumerians 62-49

A very close fight, with the question being whether the Elamite archers would hold out long enough for their army to win on the other flank. In the end they did by getting lucky - not only did they avoid serious chain routes, a fragmented archer bravely held out enough to give me the "Lucky" achievement. The ditches also saved the remnants of the archers from autodrops from being flanked.

Thanks for two great games!
