Division D

vvanttin (Germanic Horse Tribes with Dacians) beat ggarynorman (Palmyran) 43-3

Horses gallop faster than men can run. This allowed the Goths to overpower the Palmyrans on one side of the battlefield while delaying contact on the other.

If any of you feisty Div D folk want a practice match, I'm up for it as Div A is proceeding at nice slow and stately pace. Practice games are much less stressful than League games.

The Samnites are pretty dangerous - but if you can survive that first charge, you'll usually be fine if you're using heavy infantry with pikes or offensive spears.

The offensive spearmen haven't enough power to beat them. Even on a hill like my battle. Maybe you should set a trap...

I'll keep this in mind. As soon as my Medieval games are over, I'll send you a PM

Depends on the Samnites. The veteran samnites will require either an average pike or a veteran hoplites to defeat in melee (if they survive the impact). Heavy infantry in the open have a +1 to cohesion that can offset the impact penalty, and then the medium foot penalty of the samnites can hurt them if they start losing in melee. The best units to beat down the Veteran Samnites are the high tier pikes and Roman cohorts. Combo of superior or better morale to resist the impact, and then armor or deep pike to beat them down. Of course, they are much more expensive than veteran Samnites, which is the real problem. Mid-cost superior impact foot are one of the best values out there for infantry. They are competitive on impact with more expensive units, while having the morale to survive multiple turns in melee.

The non-veteran version can be dealt with my normal hoplites in the same fashion, because they have 100 POA in melee, while the basic Samnites will only have 50.

Cool. I'm up for playing as whatever army is useful.

Biblical Division C for Courage

Barrold713 (Urartians) draws with baldrick52 (Kyrenean Greek) 53-51 in a match that went to the full 24 turn time limit.

If this one is to be streamed on Richard's YouTube channel, I am quite keen to see it. What a battle.

Macedonczyk(Arab Conquest) beat Grumpydaddy845(Viking) 42:10

An interesting battle in which I had to use 200% of my brain to block the huge forces attacking my left wing and at the same time manage to eliminate the centre of the enemy before my even weaker right wing would allow Huscarls and shieldwalls to pass.

Division A

SnuggleBunnies (Medes) defeats desertedfox (Egyptians) 65-46

Squishy squishy Medes squish against squishy squishy Egyptians. Both sides obliterate the enemy's left, and the victorious right wings wheel for a second encounter. Caught out of formation and already weakened by archery, the Egyptian center is given a bloody nose, squishing the Medes to a narrow win.
