mejobo Khazar 738-969 w/ Turkish 600-1036 defeated Ryaid Arab Umayyad 685 - 750 AD: 63-38

Div C

Nosferatu (Mountain Indian+Indian) defeated ulysisgrunt (Samnite 355 + Gallic) 60:48

With an open sea to their left and limited elbow room, the Indians banked heavily on the right and while it took time, it paid off just as the Indian center started collapsing (a vastly different result was not far off). While massacring the poor archers, neither the Samnite nor the Gauls had an effective counter to the Indian Elephants as they trampled across the field.

Thanks for the game.

Division C

mejobo with the Mycenean 1250-1180 BC army.

Password is 'Bronze'.

Division A

GDod (Indo-Greek) defeats Garokan (Roman) 64-39

Lucky early breaks from flank attacks on the left, a stalwart defence and counter-attack in the middle on a steep hill despite weak kneed bowmen running in all directions, and on the right by mixed infantry and cavalry. This time Roman morale did not hold up. Thanks for the interesting game Garokan.

Division B

GDod (Parthian) defeats anderarcos11 (Gallic) 55-29

I think there are some mistakes in the tables. I have 3 game started! I forgot one? How can tyronec be the only one who finished a game in Div A? Against who?

Div B

Morat Carthaginian (Hannibal in Italy) 216-203 + Samnite 355-272 allies defeats GDod Parthian 250 BC - 225 AD + Selecuid 166-125 allies: 60-41

Genuinely horrible terrain (rivers/ rough hills and steep slopes) led to a sprawling affair where the Carthaginian mediums just about held off the excellent Parthians. It was very close throughout.

Thanks to GDod for a great game.

wzfcns french defeat GeneralKostas German 11 - 53
There is a large highland on the left side of the battlefield and a small highland on the right side. The French crossbowmen occupied the small highland on the right, and the devastating charges launched by the French knights from the front and the large highland drove the Germans out of the battlefield.

In Division C

Asterix with his Roman's and a side dish of Arabs overwhelmed ancient sparring partner Edmond Dantes and his Jewish Revolt somewhere near the area known today as the Golan Heights

34-59

Well played dear sir!

wzfcns french defeat Asterix_von_TWC Aragonese，20-46.
The infantry of both sides were deployed on the highland on the left, while the cavalry were positioned on the plain on the right. The infantry of the Aragonese army almost wiped out the French infantry, but the French cavalry achieved victory on the main battlefield.

Division A, two victories to report:

oscarius Samnite 355-272 + Gallic 300-101 allies beats tyronec Thracian (Roman Client) 50 BC - 46 AD: 63-47

The Thracian infantry of the right flank crumbled quickly before the Samnite impact foot. The pseudo-Roman imitation legions of the centre and left proved tougher opponents but were eventually overwhelmed by the massed Samnite foot.

Well-played!

oscarius Samnite 355-272 + Gallic 300-101 allies beats Challenge1 Achaemenid Persian 545-481 + Skythian or Saka 550-301 allies: 54-24

The Samnite line advanced through harrowing Persian fire but eventually found their target and beat them down. Persian heavy chariots complicated the advance requiring some infantry and skirmishers to be held up to block them. The real stars of the show were the cavalry who fought to the bitter end in blocking their superior Persian counterparts from encircling the infantry line. I quite cruelly sacrificed cheap units to get my line to the Persian bowmen in one piece and distract the Iranian cavalry but it worked out for me in the end.

Good game!

Division B as in Banana, Beirut and Brahmin

Asterix_von_TWC Bohemian Papists 1450-1500 with Hungarian parried a brutal and violent elephant and spicy-curry glazed arrow tips attack and manage to flank and defeat

EdmondDantes Vijayanagara 1470-1500

21-46

Honestly one more elephant falling on top of a wagon could have changed the course of the battle but my charging tin cans routed the insane number of massed archers and won the day.

Division B as in Bayern, Badajoz and Bratwurst

More familiar with rugged terrain from Aragon, Asterix_von_TWC Aragonese 1200-1274 with his hill-dwelling Leonese

Defeated an honourable

IMC German (Imperial) 1155-1199AD with Free Canton

20-45

Medium infantry ran circles around the heavily armoured Germans and despite IMCs good efforts Aragon prevailed.

Division C
ulysisgrunt (Samnites) defeated Bagatrix1805 58-24

Rockmanbob123 anglosaxons defeated Ryaid Arabs 62-34

The Arabs brought an impressive list of infantry to the field but not enough horse and camels. The Anglosaxon mounted huscarls were sacrificed protecting their own left flank from the Arab horse while their heavy infantry rolled over the muslim speamen on the right.

rockmanbob123 Moors were able to outlast Asterix_von_TWC Romans 61-44

On a wide open battlefield the nimble light horse of the Moors, peppered the late imperial legionaries with arrows and the battle spread out to wide open melees. in the end the the vast number of light horse were successful and the roman commander had to fall on his sword.
