42-12

Cavalry duel on the right remained a stalemate, while the longer infantry line of the Lusitanian forces allowed for a decisive flanking maneuver on the left. Good game!

Division A

Ironclad Roman 379-424 AD and Hunnic (Western) 250-375 AD defeated frederic02 Hephthalite 350-570 AD and Sassanid Persian 350-476 AD 61-57

A long and closely contested battle. The opening stages saw the Hephthalites destroy most of the opposing Hunnic cavalry. This achievement was eventually matched and exceeded by the grinding successes of the Roman infantry. However the last few turns saw the Romans continually frustrated in their attempts to achieve final victory in the face of the skillfully led and more mobile opposing cavalry and tough fighting elephants. Indeed at the end the battle could have gone either way. A great fight, thanks.

Division C

Solemnace Arab (Bedouin) 300-636 AD defeats rockmanbob123 Vikings 900-1049 w/ french 44-19

Superior numbers of bedouin lancers outflanked and overwhelmed Viking and French cavalry on both flanks. Even the Bedouin left where the flanks had some protection from a river the bends in the river were utilized to enable outflanking and destruction of hostile cavalry. The destruction of the enemy cavalry combined with the routing of some archers and a unit of spearmen in the centre convinced the Viking and French army to flee after the penultimate unit of cavalry was routed from the field.

SimonLancaster (Spartan 221 BC + Roman) defeated rockmanbob123 (Selecuid 124 BC) 68-35.

Hardest game of the tournament so far. The Superior Warband and Veteran Pike units were tough to overrun. Both sides lost their flank but I managed to grab the win.

SimonLancaster (Spartan 221 BC + Roman) defeated vakarr (Bithynian 297 BC + Galatian) 41-12.

Thanks for the game and good luck with your Thracians in the next games.

Division B

devoncop (Order of St John 1450-1500) beat Indibil (Polish 1386-1454 with Hungarian Allies)... 62-51

Tournament points :

devoncop: 60+9 = 69

Indibil : 51

A barely believable result.

In a staggering display of incompetence the Order of St John Commander distracted by his morning devotions to his elite Knight units in the rear of the Order battle line saw his front line on the left and centre totally overrun before the Knights were ordered to frantically move forward narrowly escaping a catastrophic early loss.
The heroic resistance of some Order archer and crossbow units on the right and a single unit of archers that had found some sanctuary from the rampaging Police Cavalry in the centre allowed the finally activated Order Knights reserve to charge into the Polish cavalry in the centre and on the Order left flank sweeping them from the field and grabbing a highly improbable result.

Commiserations to my very unlucky opponent.

Division A

Kroche Ancient British 60BC-80AD w Roman 24BC 24% loss
defeats
Ironclad Roman 379-424 AD and Hunnic (Western) 250 50% loss

Later Romans threatened a breakthrough on the British right as main infantry forces met in centre and left. Later Roman cavalry were all against the British right and a cataphract unit broke through, but could not quite get back in time to change the outcome. British chariots were on both flanks and helped to weaken the Later Romans attacking their left flank. Some good melees in the centre saw the Legionaries and British warbands hold against their opposite numbers. Battle ended at a good time for me as Later Romans still held a decent line and and had not lost either wing at the end. GG
