Division B

Solemnace Swedish 1450CE-1500CE defeats gort7078 Lithuanian 1386-1454 with allies: Tatar 41-0

The Lithuanians and their tartar allies did their best but this was probably a very difficult match up from the word go. Horse archers(some of them only 50% bows) and knights against a mass of Armored infantry with 50% crossbows and artillery support was always going to be an issue. Several of the knight charges did disrupt Swedish infantry and one Swedish unit was badly beaten up but it wasn't enough to break any units of the Swedes who relentlessly push back the Lithuanians and their allies unleashing hails of crossbow bolts to break the enemy.

Division B

Solemnace Sumerian/Akkadian 2500BCE-2193BCE defeats SawyerK Egyptian 1200-1150 BC 45-15

The Egyptians thought to take more men to face the Horde of Sumerians facing them but this proved to be something of an error as it left them with no men capable of standing up to Picked Sumerian Spearmen who ravaged the Egyptian centre left shattering it. The Egyptians did well on the far left breaking a number of Sumerian units taking advantage of a rough hill to strengthen their position but with their centre collapsing and their chariots on the extreme right having been kept from the action by Sumerian Shieldbearers they had no choice by the end but to flee.

Division C

Solemnace's British 600CE-1030CE defeats Ironclad Arab (Conquest) 638-684 AD 70-55

The formidable line of Muslim Spearmen and Veteran Dalimai foot smashed through the line of inferior British spearmen in front of them but this took time and the British provedto be very tough despite the odds against and it took time for such a breakthrough to be achieved and at a significant loss in blood. Meanwhile the Muslim Cavalry on both flanks found itself in trouble. On the Muslim left their lancers overextended themselves trying to chase off British light foot only to find themselves surrounded by British spears while on the right the Lancers fought hard but were over come by British cavalry in the most part by the end of the game. At the end the tattered remnants of the Muslim infantry turned to face the British right flank infantry advancing to try and either aid or avenge their friends in the British centre but with several British cavalry formations arriving from the British left and striking the rear of Muslim infantry formations it was soon all over for the Muslims in a hard fought and costly battle for both sides.

Division C

Solemnace Lombard 570CE-649CE defeats Rob123 Frankish 496- 599AD with Germanic Foot Tribes 43-7

Bringing mostly Infantry more expensive than the Lancers the Enemy can bring is always bad news for an infantry list. While the Germanic centre remained mostly intact and unharmed the German flanks quickly crumbled under Lance onslaught to give the Lombards the victory over the Germanic alliance. They were however able to catch out and kill a couple of Lombard Lancers on the left flank with careful cavalry use but it was not enough to prevent a general rout.

SgtOgre (Byzantine W/Lombard) defeated IronClad (Germanic Foot tribes w/Roman) 60-47

We had a grueling sluggfest as we maneuvered around a large , rough , hill. Fortunately for the Byzantines a few flanks opened up allowing some timely lancer charges that turned the tide.

Thanks for the game.

Solemnace Sumerian/Akkadian 2500BCE-2193BCE defeats ilpars Philistine 1166-801 BC with Syro-Canaanite 44-14

On a flat plain two long line of infantry marched agaisnt each other. The Philistine and Canannite Elite had some success on the left against Sumerian infantry and Battle Cars but in the centre the Philistine line collapsed almost instantly in the face of the attack of the Picked Spearmen of the Sumerians. With most of their chariots tied up on the flanks with skirmishing against the Sumerian infantry they were able to rip to pieces most of the Philisitine centre and right. Even the left which had been going well was countered with a Sumerian counter attack by light foot and more Battle Cars routing enough of the Philistine host to force the rest to flee.

defeats
Grandviceroy2018 Hittite 1594-1351

63-41

Both commands chose to bring many mobile units, cavalry and chariots. Urartrians chose to have a powerful and mobile left wing but to reserve some of these units on its right flank. The Hittites, on the other hand, chose to concentrated their elite nobility on their right wing. The ballet of charges, chases, and shots ended up favoring the Urartrians, mainly by chance.

Once the chariots were engaged in the ballet, the frail Anatolian infantry was riddled with arrows and swept away. Two heavy chariots, in particular, cut a bloody path in the light spearmens and the poorly equipped irregulars.

Despite this favorable result, the proud Hittites were able to give a hard time to the Urartrians army, far too confident in its victory to avoid serious tactical mistakes.
