Division B
Solemnace Scots (Isles and Highlands) 1320-1493 AD defeats rockmanbob123 French 1484-1500 73-58
The Scots were largely able to rout the French Cavalry on the Scottish Left flank without too much difficulty with only one unit that was fragmented and pinned against the right board edge being all that's left. The French Longbowman were caught by the Scots and routed as well though their light crossbowmen survived though there was some trouble in defeating them as they were supported more ably by the rest of the French Army. The French Left Flank cavalry proved more troublesome with one unit surviving the battle having defeated several Scottish Spearmen units to survive and other formations getting involved in the massive melee in the centre. The French Swiss Keil Pikeman in the centre proved the most troublesome despite being surrounded for most of the later half of the battle. At one point one of them was disrupted and the other fragmented only for both to rally back to steady. Alas for French hopes of an unexpected victory a successful rear charge upon one of the Keils fragmented it and the Scots were able to throw enough bodies upon it to force it to break at last giving the Scots victory at a grievous cost in men. French casualties were barely higher than Scottish ones despite the French suffering many desertions and surrenders.
Basically a quantity army faced a quality army and quantity won at a very high price. Though the quality army is left with only three intact units and one about to break.

Div A
Karvon Venetian 1440-1500 AD defeated ulysisgrunt Florentine 1424 56 -16.
The armies met on a rather hilly field. A large, steep hill rose a bit beyond our central sector. Another smaller one lay beyond it.
We deployed a division of crossbowmen at the foot of the hill, screened by some of our light foot. We massed our light horse on the left, supported by the remainder of our light foot. Our knights deployed to the left behind our light screen, supported by a division of cavalry.
The Florentines deployed in a dense block in the center of the field. 4 Swiss pike keils formed their front with a pair of Swiss halbrediers forming up in the rear. Six knights followed up directly behind them.
We pushed our light on the left forward and wheeled towards the center once past the main hill. Our crossbows quickly scrambled up the slopes and deployed along the summit on the right side of the hill facing the Florentines. Our knights slowly made their way along the left side of the hills and then wheeled right to follow up our lights.
The Florentines marched straight down the middle of the field, passing wide of the central hill, and ignoring our troops initially.
Our lights fell in behind them and began a steady fire on the knights, eventually disrupting some of them. The Florentines opened the ranks of their foot, and the knights passed through to escape our fire. Our lights swung out wide and moved around his foot to continue harassing his knights. We sent a couple of our crossbows down the hill to help disrupt his knights. The rest of our crossbow shifted back down the hill to our left, planning to take up position on a smaller hill along the edge from which to shoot. One division of our knights swung wide of the Florentine foot, aiming to follow up and support our lights skirmishing with his knights. The other division reversed course and made its way back around the hill to support our shifting crossbows.
Our wide-ranging lights uncovered a couple of his light horse hidden behind some woods on the far right. In a short fight, we surrounded and saw these off with the support of some of our cavalry.
The Florentine knights got tired of the shooting and attempted to ride down our lights. This scattered them a bit, but they did catch and dispatched a couple. However, the rest surrounded and shredded them with concentrated point-blank fire.
The Swiss foot turned on my nearby crossbow, and one fragmented as it tried to back up the slope to safety. The other got away. I belatedly realized the fast moving Swiss would catch the crossbow I was moving across the open to the hill on the edge, so I headed away for some high ground and rough in the corner instead with the Swiss in hot pursuit. The fragmented unit got caught and broken, but my knights arrived and served as a screen to slow down most of the Swiss. This allowed time for my broken unit to rally and hobble off to safety.
One determined Swiss halbredier chased two of my crossbowmen into the corner of the field where we took up a position on a hill, partially in the rough. The Swiss chopped the one in the open to pieces quite quickly, then laid into the guy in the rough. That proved his undoing as his slower progress allowed one of my knights the time to ride to rescue and flank him, breaking him pretty quickly.
Meanwhile, the main body of the Swiss relentlessly hammered into my screening knights, slowly driving them back. this allowed time for my other knight division, cavalry and lights to slowly surround and harass them. One of the keils finally got disordered on charging our knights. We hit that one from the rear and fragmented it, then swept it away with other knights. We flanked and disordered another one, breaking that with subsequent follow up charges. Our light horse pursued the Swiss to ensure they had no chance to rally, and the Florentines folded.

Nijis (Polish) defeats Karvon (Venetian), 64-43.
The first charge of the Venetian mercenary knights caught the Poles' lighter Lithuanian allies off-balance, and nearly won the day. But the heavier Polish forces caught the Venetians as they redeployed across the field, and slowly ground them down.

The Ottoman infantry held their ground in the center. Although the enemy occupied the left wing, the victory on the right was enough to end the battle.
