Division B

devoncop (Khazar 566-737AD) beat rockmanbob (Frankish 496-599AD) 60-34

Tournament score :

devoncop 60 +26 = 86

rockmanbob 34 =34

The Khazar Lancer had fortunate terrain to protect their foot archers combined with hills and woods to obstruct the Franks. A Cavalry duel on the Frankish left resulted in the Khazars being able to move across the flanks on the hard fighting Franks.

A tough match.

Well played to my opponent.

Division D

SawyerK leading the Macedonian 355-329 BC army with Greek 460-281 BC ally

defeated

Antivirt and his Macedonian 320-261 BC army plus Greek 280-228 BC ally

by 56-22.

The older Macedonians were able to gain an advantage on their left flank and move to the center before the younger edition decimated the left flank of the older edition—a good match between two similar forces.

Division A

markleslie Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC with Egyptian 1149-1069 BC allies defeats IMC Urartian 780-750 BC 51-23.

Turn 2
The Great King interrupts his beard stroking long enough to indicate the enemy and our host, minus the bushwackers, rapidly advances hoping to use the rough as a barrier against the heavy chariots.
The Urartians, perhaps confident in their chariots but not so much their foot, advanced their right while their left trails wheeling the battle lines.



Turn 6 - The lines committed, the ambush sprung.
The Urartian shooters had little effect on the Great Kings foreign allies and the impact foot smashed the foes centre and left like a ripe pomegranate, splattering seeds in all directions.



Good luck to my opponent for the rest of the tourney and salute!

Division C

Solemnace Baltic Tribes 1050-1283 AD defeats dragmio Polish 1200-1319 with German (North/west) 42-14

The Allied left flank collapsed the flank of their best infantry was exposed and both of the best Allied infantry units were routed by a single unit of Baltic foot. Despite partially successful Allied efforts to exploit overzealous Baltic infantry this collapse was compounded by a collapse in their forces on the edge of the right flank atop a hill which was only prevented from being worse by the rapid collapse of the Allied army and their flight from the field.

Division B

devoncop (Khazar 566-737AD) beat Rob123 (Hepthalite 350-570AD with Sassanid 477AD Allies) 62-45

Tournament points :

devoncop ... 62+17 = 79

Rob 123 .... 45 = 45

A swirling desert encounter where for once the Khazar archers managed to neutralise the feared elephant threat that caused them to fall to defeat against the main Sassanid Persian army earlier in the tournament. Rob put up a heck of a fight from a position of disadvantage and was still gaining ground back as the Khazars finally squeaked home.

Division C

devoncop (Samnite 355AD with Gallic Allies) beat IMC (Antigonid 320-301BC with Greek 40BC Allies) ...60-42

Tournament score ....

devoncop 60+18 = 78

IMC........42 = 42

As always a tremendously close contest where the Antigonids were gaining fast by the end and the exhausted Samnite infantry was being methodically ground down by the remaining phalanxes.

The battle was won in large part by the Gallic Cavalry allies that defeated the Greek Cavalry on one flank and were able to cause a lot of damage subsequently plus some fortunate rolls by the Samnite medium infantry helping them to hold on for longer than expected against the Antigonid HI.

Thanks to my opponent for a good contest.
