Division C

deeter (Arabs) defeats random27 (Arabs) 57-20.

I predict that the Arabs will win every game.

Deeter

I must admit that Season Eleven's Awsan v Saba 700-600 BC with Arab 1000-313 BC vs Arab 1000-313 BC was more exciting than I expected. Many of these other biblical "nations" suffered insurrection, civil war, and battles for royal succession with very similar forces opposing each other. One or two match-ups of this sort per season would be interesting to play.

Pool B Group 4

Kroche (Mongol) defeated Joch1955 (Polish) 58-31

Very even battle at the half way point. Mongol missile fire managed to weaken the Polish Knights just in time before the Polish foot could get fully engaged. GG

A tough game that went on and on. My Romans managed to get the better of his pikes and keep his cavalry at bay. Good luck in your next games.

Division B

Geffalrus (Tuareg) defeats Nijis (Mongols) 43-15

Horses hate camels, but camels hate arrows. Such was our stalemate at first as I hid between two large forests, completely unwilling to venture out and brave the arrow storm. Nijis brought the arrow storm to me with light cavalry darting into range of my dromedaries. However, while light cavalry can easily evade camels in the open........what happens when you completely surround them with camels? Answer: failed evasion and then a rear charge. The poor horse archers vanished beneath a horde of smelly camels. The Mongol lancers and mediums advanced and disrupted multiple camels with withering bow work, but there were just - too - many - camels. The horde surged forth, and just enough Mongol horses were caught by pursuit RNGesus for the Blue Bandits to gain the win. Good game to my opponent in what was definitely a weird matchup for both armies.

The camels trap is sprung:
