Thanks for the games!

Gort's brave Anglo-Normans fell victim to my Byzantines on a bloody hill where all the archers dropped their bows and engaged in one massive chaotic melee. Good game sir.

Score 13-52

Only a victory because woods hid a large Andalusian missile force that eventually and with difficulty shot the Arabs of an important hill and flanked the Arab spears. Very close until the final collapse.

Score 31-57

We agreed to continue on a mountainous map with two narrow passes - one wooded. It was interesting indeed. The Polish force split into two but a mostly mounted Castillian force, with a much shorter distance between the passes, concentrated on the one force which had come out of the woods. That was only just defeated before the second Polish force arrived not helped by reckless Castillian generals charging onto Polish lances and a real lesson (from R) in very effective defence against superior numbers and troops. Thanks for very tough game.

Very very close on a very tight map featuring some very tough Portugese bowmen and yet more reckless Castillian Generals impaling themselves on lances (and bows). Many thanks.

Score 7-48

This turned on a big difference in missile effectiveness. Massed longbows with properly sharpened bodkins and a very useful hill seemed to be able to hit everything ruinously. Meanwhile the Ottoman bombards seemed to have had wet gun powder and many of the archers wet bow strings. Mc deserves a full refund on the guns in particular.

A tough slog. Good luck to my opponent who has a nicely balanced army that can cause problems.

After some realignment of the lines the armies clashed around a dusty hilltop. The Arabs pushed back the nomads and won the day. Thanks for the game.

Division C

vakarr Bithynian 297-74 + Galatian 280-63 allies defeats Rob123 Macedonian 320-261 + Greek 280-228 allies

Score: 61-37

A hard fought battle that seemed to go in the Macdonians' favour much of the time. The Bithynian left flank was only covered by cavalry that was matched by a Macedonian contingent but there was a gap between the cavalry and the infantry which, after a cautious start, was fully exploited. Soon, it looked like the Bithynian flank would be rolled up from left to right, with nothing to stop the routs. However, the Bithynians didn't give up and the resilience of the warbands told, despite all the superior this and superior that, in the Macedonian army. A desperate charge by a superior warband fragmented a pike unit and turned the game around. The Bithynians had Macedonian troops to their rear and left flank but they were all slow moving infantry and somehow the Bithynians managed to rally or hold on long enough (e.g. there was a clash between elephants and warbands that went for nine turns) for a win.
