Karvon (Thracian, Triballi 350 BC with Geta allies) defeated MikeMarchant (Roman 199 BC with Greek (Western) allies) 41-16 for a 4-0 win.

Great report, Karvon, but you missed out the bit where you slaughtered my cavalry with your lights at the beginning of the battle, before I'd even finished my initial maoeuvers.

I had to be very cautious in this one, facing an army of MF and open order warband on a field that was badly out of favour for me, and where I couldn't see where the enemy army was deployed. It wasn't a case of not knowing what to do, so much as knowing that doing anything but sitting tight would be near suicidal. A more cautious player would have sat tight and refused to do battle, but that's not in my nature and so eventually I advanced to try to make the best of a bad sitation. To Karvon's credit he did come to meet me partway and he didn't simply take full advantage of the terrain, for that I was grateful. It wasn't enough, though. Despite the remaining disadvantage, it wasn't the terrain which beat me, it was Karvon's superior play.

Thanks for a great game, Karvon. I look forward to our next.


Best Wishes

Mike

devoncop (Andalucian 756AD with Spanish allies) beat IMC (French 888AD with Viking allies) by 48-12

A surprising if welcome result for the Andalucians and it was one of those days where almost every unit performed better than could be expected. The win was secured on the flanks by Arab lancers and massed skirmishers and hilltop positions in the centre helped the weaker Andalucian infantry to hold off the French and Viking armoured foot long enough for the wings to close in on them.

Thanks to my opponent IMC who had little fortune.

At classic Diadochi clash the key to victory was cavalry fight on one of the flanks as in other spaces of the battlefield was too risky to attack by heavy units..

thx for the game. till next one.
