Division B


Lunecastle - Castilian/Leonese 1200-1319 with Aragonese 1200-1274 ally defeats Triarii - English 1155-1271 with Welsh(North) 1100-1295 AD ally 67-58
Both armies had nothing much left in the center, but Triarii had most of his knights left (trying to get back) so i was fortunate to win.
Well played to Triarii, all the best, Lunecastle

Hi Karvon,

I would like to get involved in league games, but I never see any of the early invites. Is it possible to be included in the next one?

Hi there

Thanks for the post

You were invited, way back in February via private message from Harvey. The 5 organisers each had 45 players to pm and to invite. Even so you are more than welcome, when we start again in July. You will have anew rating as well. Not sure what it will be but I think you are definitely a Division B player, we shall see.

Cheers

Eric

grahamed Anglo Norman 1072-1154 AD w Welsh allies 47% loss
defeated
Aetius39 Irish 1050-1130 w/ Norwegian allies 62% loss

Real slowww starter this with the Normans and their bows cowering on a vast hill and the Irish scruffing around in the bog (well rough ground anway)

Some Norman mounted Knights and light support bravely forayed off round the left flank ....... and got well stuffed for their trouble!
Meanwhile the bulk of the Norman dismounted Knights and infantry slid off the hill whilst the Irish Huscarls and foot strode out of the rough, and mid field, horns were locked.

Finally the rest of the mounted Norman Knights and sargents leapt over the hilltop (apparently they'd been busy posing for a well known tapestry artist) and rushed in on the right flank, eventually cleaving more damage than the rest of the Irish could match.

Close, very close mid battle but in the end, the good guys took the field!

carpenkm Germanic Horse Tribes 260 with Dacian (Carpi) beat Blagrot Arab, City 300-633 AD with Sassanid Persian 591-628 AD
62 - 57
Points:
carpenkm = 65
Blagrot = 57

Another epic match which really should have been a tie. The Arab elephants and foot dominated the flat area on the right leaving the warbands to fight and take a hill on the left. The noble lancers (i really think they are underpriced) had to withdraw with loses and joined the warbands fighting in the rough and open spaced on the hill. The warbands outclassed the arab foot and a final rout pushed the Germans just over the line. Tough battle and well played Blagrot as ever.

Karvon Navarrese 1050 – 1154 AD defeated ulysisgrunt Italo-Norman 1061-1071 with Arab North African allies 43-11

This game actually finished a month ago but I neglected to post it due to RL distractions of the new school year starting up.

My right flank was blocked off by a river. A gentle ridge ran along the bank of the river to about the middle of the field. Just short of the center and offset a bit to the left was a long strip of woods, which left a couple hundred pace gap to the ridge on the right. Beyond these woods lay another gentle hill with a few rough patches. A bit to the left of that faced another smaller gentle hill on the left edge.

We initially deployed a half a dozen of our spearmen along the gentle hill on our right screened by a few light foot. Several squadrons of knights formed up in the plains covering their left flank. We deployed a few of our medium foot behind the central woods and screened the edge with more of our light foot. We massed our light horse on the far left of the woods. Behind the woods we deployed several more squadrons of knights. Our plan was to draw the Normans towards our infantry on the hill and then redeploy them to the left behind the woods in support of a massive sweep around the left with our knights screened by our lights.

The Normans deployed heavily towards our right anchoring their infantry on the river. A half a dozen or so knights formed up to cover their right. A few lights screened their line. They accommodated us by advancing as hoped on our infantry line. As our light horse swept around the woods, a fair number of his knights wheeled to chase them off. These were lured close to the woods and then jumped by my massed light and medium archers which quickly shot up about half of them. He shifted some of his lights and mediums to support them. We jumped these with our hidden medium foot.

Our right wing turned and marched left and his advancing infantry and remaining knights wheeled to pursue them. Our infantry passed behind the woods, which screened them from effective pursuit of his infantry and knights.

In the meantime, our knights finished off his disrupted and fragmented ones and our light horse chased them off till they were dispersed. Our knights encircled this right where his arriving foot tangled with some of our mediums and our spearmen. Some of his troops passed too close to the woods and got flanked by some of my mediums still hidden there.

These losses finally led to the Normans collapse.

Division B

Karvon Navarrese 1050 – 1154 AD defeated grahamed Anglo Norman 1072-1154 AD w Welsh allies 48 -9

This was mostly a fairly unremarkable plain; a section of woods blocked off my right flank and a large patch of rough lay on my right sector of deployment. A couple of small patches of rough lay on my far left near the center of the field overlooked by a gentle hill. I figured the English would bring enough medium foot to push through the woods on my right and their army would unfold its deployment anchored off those foot. So my plan was instead to overload to the left using the rough patches as a pivot point. I massed all my lights opposite these rough patches closely supported by a number of medium bow and foot. My knights formed up behind to exploit.

The English did indeed deploy as I expected. They had a number of Welsh spears formed up to deal with the woods and then some dismounted knights and other spears in the center of their line with a number of medium bowmen holding their right. They had about half a dozen knights as a reserve. A few light foot screened their line. Naturally, they immediately began to turn and shift right once they saw our deployment. Their knights outpaced their foot as they raced to contain our flanking threat.

Our massed bows and light horse shot the English knights up pretty badly, and we dispatched most of them with follow up charges of some of our own knights. A couple managed to fight through and saw off one of our knights after a short and furious fight, leaving the area in their pursuit.

The key development however was when we unleashed a half a dozen knights into the English archers, now forming the center, caught in the open. We blasted through them in short order and flanked some neighboring spears which broke, leading to the collapse of the English.

A reminder for all that it is very easy to take a screenshot at the end of your turn by pressing F2. FoG2 has a dedicated folder for such things, and it's not too difficult to attach them to forum posts.

So i got no response from El Tomato on my challenge...what do we do about that?

It is covered in the rules:
IF PLAYER A HAS NOT ACCEPTED A CHALLENGE AFTER 2 WEEKS AND THE PERSON RUNNING THE PERIOD AND THEIR OPPONENT (PLAYER B) HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED. PLAYER B NEEDS TO CONTACT PLAYER A AND THE ORGANISER. THIS WILL ALLOW THE ORGANISER TO CONTACT PLAYER A AND TO DETERMINE IF PLAYER B CAN CLAIM THAT GAME AS A 40 - 15 OUTRIGHT VICORY

In this case, the challenge was made with less than 2 weeks to go before the end of the tournament. Based on what I'm seeing in the Challenges thread. My instinct would be that this would be a 0-0 draw situation; I'll confirm with Eric and company.
