[Karvon]

Div A

Karvon's Carthaginian 235 BC w Spanish defeated Nijis' Meroitic, 280 BC to 400 AD 61-40

The field was divided by a stream. Woods and rough blocked off our right with more rough beyond the stream on that flank. A very large and long rough patch shielded the enemy right flank and a couple of small rough patches fell in the center on the far side of the stream.

We opted to initially hide some of our mediums and a mounted command in and behind the woods on our right. Our spears, supported by a few mediums, formed up with the woods covering their right. A mixed mounted command covered our left. Our light foot screened our center.

The Meroitic army formed up on our far left. A mass of their raw spears formed their right, backed by massed bow. The center was held by their medium foot, also backed by massed bow and a pair of elephants. Their horse massed to cover their open left and their light foot screened their center.

We advanced in echelon shifting right. We quickly brought up our mounted reserve to combine with our screening lights to aggressively attack his massed horse. Our medium foot crossed behind in support, while our heavy foot shifted right to cover their flank, with our left mounted slowing advancing to cover the heavy foot's flank.

The Meroitic forces rumbled forward, crossing the stream and slowly wheeling left to face our echelon. The bow fire from their massed and light archers caused significant losses among our screening lights and leading mediums, but we pushed fresh troops forward and used generals to rally disordered troops in the rear.

We rather quickly drove off or destroyed the enemy mounted covering their left with our combo of horse, elephant and foot, exposing his supporting massed bow to our advancing mediums. In the center, our lights shot up some of his leading mediums and our spears and supporting mediums closed with his mediums. He unleashed his elephants and they ground their way through our line, causing a bit of mayhem. On our left, our horse command slowed his advancing raw spears.

Our mediums swept over and around his left, seeing off all the opposing massed bow and most of his mediums. Most of our center spears were ground down or flanked, but they held out long enough for the rest of the army to secure the win.

Captainwaltersavage Portugese 1200-1319 with Berber (Marinid) defeats Aetius39 German (Imperial) 1050-1154 w/ Free Canton

43:5

A very narrow battlefield meant that there was not much manoeuvring before contact was made. The Portuguese lights were having the better of the conflict, but when the German infantry became involved the Portuguese missile troops and Knights took their chance and the subsequent charges caused all the damage. A very fortunate series of pursuits finished the game early just before the German foot knights and spearmen began to redress the balance.

That's my last game in this season. Thanks to all my opponents. My success in the Early Medieval is mirrored by my utter failure in the Later Medieval. Nice to see there is still lots to learn.

completed his 9th game

The first column is games started, but it would be fun to update the table again. It looks like it’s now all down to the last game.

The god of luck hesitated, and finally chose the Mycenians, whose troops quickly rallied from initial unlucky disruptions.

Division B

grahamed Sassanid Persian 591-628 + Arab (Bedouin) 300-636 allies defeated Rob123 Roman 425-492 + Germanic Foot tribes 260-599 allies 34 to 60

The armies started by prowling toward eachother in a clockwise spiral, the Romans swept through the sassanid light infantry and begun to bare down on the Sassanid infantry. The Dalamai mediums raced through the rougher terrain and pushed in to support the Elephant herd who, egged on by their general riders ploughed in to Rome's finest.

An Elephant broke, but the others pushed through and a few of the Sassanid cavalry burst through the Roman lines, scattering chaos in the second row. Roman cataphracts pushed through on their far left and turned in, behind the sassanid line, their Sassanid counterparts pulled accross the field to face them, assisted by support troops, a struggle ensued, finally the Romans broke and the close, hard fought game drew to a close.

Div B

Alexhstandish (Hephalite) beat Frederic02 (Roman with Armenians) 47:20

A cagey battle took some time to get going. The Romans formed up in one corner of the battlefield utilizing a wood and rough terrain. The Hephalites circled each flank looking for opportunities, but the Romans maintained a disciplined defense. The Hephalites pulled back.

The Hephalites eventually ganged up on some Auxilia Palatina and foot which led to the battle being commenced. A tough fight, with the Hephalites managing to generally avoid the cataphracts and Legio Palatina, but kill enough support troops to win the day.
Thanks for the battled Frederic
