[Aetius39]

Division A

Aetius (Egyptians) defeats Bodhran (Neo-Hittites) 52-18


It took some time to get the battle going, as lines moved up, then re-organized, and then the Neo-Hittite chariots launched an arrow blitz, which damaged badly but not critically the Egyptian right. Things held up and the chariots got pushed back with losses, and then the lines clashed, with success on the Egyptian right. The Neo-Hittites broke through on their right later on, but it was too late. A closer game than the score shows, gg!

[Ironclad]

Division D

Ironclad Macedonian 320-261 BC with Greek allies defeated SawyerK Seleucid 166-125 BC with Jewish allies 67-40

Two well matched pike armies faced each other on a wide open plain with some areas of rough and a small lake. After earlier movement for positioning battle was joined across a wide extent of the field.

The Macedonians gained an earlier advantage in the fight for the rough on the left and and in the initial phase of the pike battle but the Seleucids fought back sharply forcing the Macedonians to divert a much needed pike unit to the action in the rough despite their beginning to lose in the heavy infantry struggle. Meanwhile the superior Seleucid cavalry were making a significant impact on the flanks; by the lake forcing the Macedonians to divert an elephant there to shore up the position and on the other flank using their powerful cataphracts to overwhelm the enemy cavalry and to tie down a strong infantry force from intervening in the central battle.

[Ironclad]

The Macedonians managed to hold onto their earlier lead as the battle progressed and luckily benefitted from some timely rallies including one notable turn when two pike units were restored, recovering sufficiently to contribute decisively in the final stage of the struggle as did the two elephants on opposite flanks. My opponent worked wonders in extricating his army from a number of desperate situations to keep the contest in play but in the end numbers told. A good entertaining game. Thanks.

Div C

Kashtronomical (Rhoxolani) defeats Rob123 (Arab City) 60-39

A long and bloody battle that was fought on two separated flanks, with each army winning one, and the mobility of the Rhoxolani horse giving the extra edge to score the victory.

Good game.

defeats

Morat Carthaginian (Hannibal in Italy) 216-203 with Samnite

67:53

An incredibly close battle fought over a mix of terrain separated by a deep stream. The armies battered each other to a stand still The Carthaginians had the best of the infantry battle but the Ptolemies won the cavalry exchange. The Carthaginian veteran spears were not in top form though and the phalanxes and legionaries were good enough to hold on. A couple of timely rallies secured the victory at the end. We nearly ran out of time. A great battle!

The display shows the position at the end of the game and the terrain that influenced the battle.

At the start the Seleucids held the high ground to the north. A formidable position which the Macedonians were understandably reluctant to assault. Instead they adopted a more gradual approach using the rough terrain to infiltrate units to harass and threaten the enemy cavalry based on the right whilst also using slingers to degrade the enemy elephant. The Seleucids launched a successful attack with light cavalry and infantry against the Macedonian right wing but on the main front isolated counter attacks from the hills by mediums and a superior warband were crushed by superior Macedonian numbers. By the time the Seleucid pikes were committed to battle, attrition losses and the unravelling of their right and left flanks had doomed their army to defeat. Thanks for a good game.
