Yes the final break is right. And the final score is ok.
But why the game don't finish in the 23 turn? There was no rally I'm sure of this.The score simply go from 61 to 59 after the replay of turn 23 and my turn start normally! At first I tought it was a glitch, but also you noticed it and tought it was a rally! The same thing happens at the start of the 24 turn! What was?

defeats
Stones1985 Burgundian 1471 to 1477 AD with English Continental 63% loss

A very close game where French took the early lead with some concentrated missile fire and a successful Knight charge. The map was two hills with a valley on the right. Both forces had concentrated on the French right - Burgundians had more units there which did not disrupt from the French missiles and could then pin the French and charge through the archers to level the scores. French troops on the right which avoided the collapse escaped to the centre where they could hold the Burgundian left at bay, helped by having the high ground. The Burgundian left started to threaten the French centre from behind, but the French knights had kept their discipline and were able to remain in the key areas to claim victory. GG

Kashtronomical (Chagatai Khanate) defeats rockmanbob123 (Bohemian) 49-18

The fearsome Bohemian knights melted anything in their way, but the Chagatai two-flank attack was hard for them to pin down and attempt any safe assault against the trebuchet and archers staying back on the middle hill.

Good game!

Hard fought match with the last few turns being cat and mouse between opposing small unit groupings.

Division B

Maeglyr's Ottomans defeats rockmanbob123's Germans [ 52 - 17 ]

It was mostly a game of cat and mouse between the heavy germans keils and knights and the always evasive sipahis. Germans play defensive for a long time, protect, as it seems, by two forests on their sides. The steel wall seems unbreakable. Unfortunally, Ottomans brings many many light troops, including fearsome gunners, and have some luck to not be catch !

The german roaster doesn't give you many choices to counter this. Well played, nevertheless !

rockmanbob123 Khazars defeated Indibil Romans with samartians 55-17

The Khazar horsemen were very fortunate with a nice grassy open field.

The Roman infantry in the center did bring alot of horseman to the field of battle, with horse on both flanks.

The Khazars decided to enfilade attack the Roman left and their initial charge steamrolled the Sarmatian/roman horse force on the initial charge, flanking the infantry in the center and starting an early rout.

Fortune favored the attacker.

rockmanbob123 Khazars defeated ulysisgrunt Western Hunnic 46-20

The Khazars knowing the lethality of Hunnic bows, decided to but a large force of light and massed archers in a small forest just on their side of the battlefield, hiding their light horse behind this forest with their heavy lancers hidden in the forest at the end of the field.

The light bowman got the Huns to chase into the forest allowing the Khazars to whittle down the Hunnic horse. The Khazar light horse feigned a retreat and the Huns chased. The counterattack of the heavy Khazar heavy lancers were able to clear the field of the now disorganized Huns.

Swuul with Scots and Norwegians win 73-56 against Garokan with Polish and German.

A true smack-fest! During the match I already congratulated Garokan for his win, as the poles were certain to get to 60, but then a miracle rally happened for the scots (Go Highlanders!), and a turn later the Polish Standard Wagon finally fell and gave its massive points to Scots. Three fragmented scottish units were in melee at the end of the game, so it really could have gone either way, and this doesn't feel like a win to me at all.
