Slitherine

Division B

Ironclad (Fatimids) 31/39 vs Jonah75 (Saminids) 36/35

Winning the initiative proved crucial as it enable a choice of a clear terrain central arena suitable for the F's cavalry to take the offensive. A bruising encounter nevertheless; both right wings were successful - the S's powerful infantry on one flank and the F's main cavalry force on the other - but the former had further to go from their rough terrain starting point on the periphery and that plus the latter's mobility and numbers enabled them to achieve a decisive breakthrough into the rear of the enemy army. Thanks for a good game.

Div C Result

Lydianed (Buyids) 28/36 vs epos (Lombards) 46/40

Buyids Dailami scared the weaker Lombard cavalry while the better horse was kept in check by terrain, an elephant and Ghilman. The Lombards advanced into an unfavourable piece of terrain and broke their lines against a solid defense. Thanks for the game.

Anyone playing Uheng? Also, Bagratian, been 10 days - maybe can set aside a coupla days to finish up?

I have absolutely no interest in finishing up the game. The outcome won't matter as you and I would both be promoted out of the period. I just sent in a turn, but I would like to propose a draw. I don't have the time, interest or bandwidth to play it out.
