Armchairbaron's advance on Ravenna with Byzantines, was successfully blocked by Stew101 (Vandals).

The result was a draw: 0% scored by the Byzantines and a whole 2% managed by the Vandals.

Simon (Byzantines) opted to attack into wooded terrain, an understandable choice, given the Vandals could field not infantry. Simon got what he asked for, plenty of woods, but all in the wrong places. The Byzantines flanks were both secured by large woods and there was also plenty at the rear of the Vandal position. Unfortunately the entire centre of the table was dominated by large hills on both sides, with a narrow valley between.

Neither side could really attack the other sides position, with a realistic hope of success. The Byzantines did try to push their small number of superior light horse archers around the flanks, but the vandals had enough light horse and spare lancers to neutralise this threat.

heidipie Franks edged out Armchaibaron 48 to 53 in a flat out brawl could have gone either way. the difference was the unexpectedly higher moral rolls then justified by the Frankis sub Roman foot, which sent off just enugh enemy horse to make for the Victory Margin

Long Live Francia !

Stew101 (+30): April 1.

Please note that

Attack declarations are posted in the tournament thread.

Date (midnight CET+1 (Ravenna) time) above indicates deadline for the attack.

Once you have declared an attack, please PM the player next in line, who will then be free to declare his attack, up to his deadline, so we all don't need to wait for each player's deadline.

You can attack with an army list only once during the tournament.
- For example, kronenblatt can't attack with Franks, Gepids , Byzantines, or Vandals again.

You can't attack with the same army list that another player already has selected for his attack this round.
- For example, heidipie can't attack with the army list that Stew101 selects this round.

Please post no defending army lists yet.
- Defenders will rotate clockwise for each new round, so each round sees new defenders (with adjustments due to Indibil being eliminated).
