carpenkm (Danish) beat Triarii (Castille/Leon) 62 -23

Some very plucky Danish Crossbow fending off a charging knight and a very reluctant showing from the Castille lights meant the result was better than it should have been. Well played.

Hard fight against the swarm of Scots. With some good holds my elephants and lancers helped get flanks and breaks. Thanks for the game.

Div A

Triarii Burgundian 1471-77 with English Continental
defeats
Chris Townsend Polish Dialami

Score 62-56
Anchoring their flank on a handy lake the Burgundians rolled forward across a stream and were starting to feel quietly confident as the dismounted Men at Arms ground through dismounted Muslim Lancers. Sadly, not one but two Burgundian Generals died while in combat in the centre of the Burgundian line in a single combat turn. Dismay and concern affected far too many of the surrounding longbow units. That included one yet to suffer a casualty that was dismayed all the way home by the General's demises.
The Dialami expertly took advantage and the game turned on its head as they sent the longbow heavy centre home.
All that saved the Burgundians was that the dismounted Men at Arms were able to lumber back and have good fortune against the Dialami foot (who had suffered considerably to the longbows before they headed off). As the score suggests very very close and could have gone either way in the last turn.
Thanks to Chris for a good nerve wracking game.

Morat (Frankish) defeated random27 Indian (Rajput) 650-1049 AD: 63-47

Tough scrap where the Frankish spears just managed to stave off the Indian Elephants, and then managed to stay ahead in the ensuing melees.

Thanks to random27 for a great fight.

markleslie Khorasanian 821-1003 AD with Dailami 928-1055 AD defeats tyronec Byzantine 988-1041 53-25.

Turn5
The rolling terrain slowly reveals the bulk of the forces involved with the arrowphobic pyjama clad heroes well into the march and counter march.


Turn 12
The antagonists settle down to a mostly static fighting line.


The valiant Khorasanians concentrate their efforts on our left flank which our horse and foot eventually come to dominate with the remainder of our forces along the line holding long enough til the Ump calls time.

Salute!

Division C

Solemnace Arab (Bedouin) 300-636 AD defeats wulf85 Rus 960-1053 + Vikings

40-3

The Rus and there Viking Allies formed a tightly packed formation of Spears and Archers with limited cavalry support. Unfortunately they simply left there flanks exposed to the horde of Bedouin Lancers who slowly picked apart there formation exploiting every opportunity to disrupt the formation driving them into reckless charges against the lancers to little gain as the Formation slowly feel to pieces.

Also harveylh you appeared based on my calculation to have missed my victory over Indibil which is the first result posted in this thread. I think. At the very least you've missed one of my victories in this thread.

Division C

As a follow-up to Pergamene's efforts to maintain their independence from the Antigonids, I am please to report that the Macedonians and their Greek allies are also leaving Asia Minor (perhaps for an interesting discussion about the Agean peninsula with those Antigonids!).

With a mostly open map, Pergamene ignored the smallish hill on their right front and deployed in three groups. Theurophoroi supported by some medium cavalry in a substantial woods on their right, warbands supported by artillery and some medium infantry in rough and marsh in the rear centre, and the Xystophoroi in the rear right. All three forces were screened by a strong mix of skirmishers, including light cavalry.

The Macedonians deployed a mostly heavy infantry force, supported by a mix of cavalry, skirmishers and medium infantry for an assault on the empty hill! The Xystophoroi began a long circuit around the battlefield, shepherded by a similar size force of cavalry, elephant and infantry, eventually ending up in the melee in front of the woods, with mixed success. That melee developed from both sides supporting their skirmishers, and probably caused the majority of the Pergamene casualties. In behind that hill, outnumbered Macedonian skirmishers got ahead of their support, and were brutally cut down just as the support arrived. Together with the artillery, this gave Pergamene unanswered missile superiority, which resulted in the troops advancing on the Pergamene centre arriving quite depleted, and the defending warriors were able to substantially stand and, in fact, successfully counter attack.

Together with those skirmishers losses, this means Chris Townsend's Pergamene 262 defeated Rob123's Macedonian 320 + Greek 280 allies 65 to 37.

Good game.
