Division B

Chris Townsend Numidian or Moorish 55BC - 6AD with Roman defeated Bodhran German horse tribes 260-492 and Dacian (carpi) by 51 to 26

The Numidian side of the map was largely clear, while the Germans had large woods on their left, separated from the centre by a small lake, and then a series of terrain (woods, rough, then more woods on the Numidian side separating the centre from the open right flank. Both armies would have preferred the terrain to be reversed, so there was some maneuvering. The Numidians put the Phoenician infantry on their right, the Romans with elephants in the middle, and the irregulars supported by Spanish Scutarii on their left, with screens of skirmishers (light and horse), and no attempt to bring cavalry against he German horse. The Germans deployed their Dacian infantry in the centre, with horse on the flanks, and a reserve of horse in the centre, which was promptly sent to reinforce their right. The Numidians refused their left flank and advanced their centre, while checking out the woods in front of their right flank - where the javelin men discovered noble cavalry. So that side of the map ended up with mostly maneuvering, and the battle on the other flank was a draw (though bloodier), so the decisive fight was in the centre. Here some initial poor morale checks (perhaps the Dacians had not seen elephants before?) led to the remaining troops being out numbered, and eventually failing due to attrition and flanking maneuvers.

Good game, tough fights.

While the terrifying Varangians chewed their way through the Portuguese infantry the Portuguese Knights battled with the Crusader mounted knights. The Portuguese knights finally prevailed and fell upon the rear ranks of the Byzantines. A very bloody affair in which the Portuguese infantry covered themselves in glory dying as slowly as possible to delay the Varangians long enough for the cavalry to make a difference.

The Bohemian Holy Knights had clearly had a rough night before the battle. Charged in with great optimism and promptly got disrupted and watched their general die. It all went wrong for the plucky Bohemians and even the ambush from the marsh went wrong as the Portuguese had cavalry to spare to deal with it as it appeared all the Bohemians had missed their prayers and were fighting very poorly.

In a wild furball of a fight, the highly mobile Avars used the large expanse of rough terrain in the middle to run from the pachyderms while killing the less mobile Indian archers.

A tough fight where the Romans got up a hill courtesy of their slightly superior velites and ground through the Carthaginian left and centre before a large Carthaginian cavalry force could negotiate rough terrain and a hill to intervene.

Thanks to CWS for the game.

Score 52-27

Something of a slugfest - a very stubborn Varangian unit holding up the otherwise succesful Bohemian right for an unreasonably long-time leaving the left somewhat over matched for too long.

The Swiss pikes and Dismounted Men at Arms eventually did damage to the refused Danish left but gunpowder mounted troops and two Keils were able to shift the Venetian left aided by a flanking.

Thank you for the game.
