lydianed (Gepids) defeats Kroche (British & Roman) 63-39

Tough British foot held the Gepids at bay but the missile exchange broadly favoured the Gepids. In the end, mobility and numbers told. GG.

Div A

lydianed (Gepids) defeats Stones1985 (Moorish & Byzantine) 52-23

The swarms of Moorish light horse made for a very dynamic battle. The Gepids massed on one wing which in time led to a breakthrough and then victory with enemy Light Horse snapping up prizes where they could. GG.

Div A

Triarii Burgundian 1471-77 with English Continental
defeats
Nijis Polish 1455-1500 with Lithuanian

Score 38-64
As the sun dipped below the hills a battered unit of billmen and longbow men low on arrows moved and fired at long range at very battered Rus cavalry unit. The bows caused just one casualty but that tipped the Rus into autobreak.

That was the very last missile attack on the very last turn of a really great intriguing game. It moved the Polish loss from 59%.
Many thanks to Nijis for another great game and I feel an apology for that desperately late result.

SimonLancaster (Arab City + Sassanid) defeated Asterix_von_TWC (Sassanid + Hepthalite) 48-15.

A messy battle with much ado in the centre. Eventually, my cavalry swept away the enemy on the right to win the day. Thanks for the game.

Division D

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

defeated

mejobo and his Antigonid 320-321 BC army

by 65-52.

This lead in this battle swayed back and forth, largely dependent on which army last had a pike pushback that led to a subsequent flank attack rejoinder. Veteran Pike units were particularly subject to this problem. The end was not determined until the Macedonians were finally successful in launching a flank heavy cavalry attack that led to the break of two enemy pike units. Mejobo led an energetic, well-designed attack and defense, and I wish him success in his other games..
