Zawzgrzyt Irish 1320-1500 w/ anglo-irish 1320-1399 defeats TaBai Neapolitan 1400-1442 AD with Florentine 1424 AD allies 60-32

Tough battle, the forest on the left flank, on which the line of Irish troops was anchored, was certainly helpful. His mere presence engaged some of the enemy's forces. In the end, the victory was determined by the numerical advantage, although an unlucky roll of dice could change the tide of the battle at any moment.

thanks for good game

Lennard (Berber (Murabit) 1087-1147 AD with Andalusian 1050-1154 AD allies) defeats ericdoman1 (Andalusian (Murcia) 1155 - 1172 AD): 38 - 63 %

Terrain: After a few rerolls we finally got a map without mountains. It was a large open plain, divided by a large stream and with a small forest in the centre and some rough ground along the stream.

Berber deployment: The Berber army deployed in a double checkerboard-formation-style line with Veteran Spearmen at the front and normal ones behind, as well as some raw one as reserve. Also some Irregulars for the forest and a massive cavalry wing on the right. On the left side a group of light cavalry was deployed.

Andalusian deployment: The Andalusians went for a strong formation with Knight at the front, archers as a second line, Almogavars in the forest and some cavalry on the left and right as well as some defensive Spearmens on the left flank.

The engagement: The Berbers let the Andalusians cross the river, while they started to attack with their own cavalry. This attack was very successful and defeat the Andalusian left wing. In the centre the Andalusians found themselves unable to get many disrupts on the Veterans and were thus slowly wedged in and forced into melee, which also allowed for some attacks against the now unprotected archers. In this process there were still no disrupts on the Berber side, although they charged Knights, which was very lucky. The Almogavars won decisively in the forest and started to flank the formation, but it was not enough in the end and once the Berber cavalry swung in from the right, the Andalusians lost the battle.

Thanks to eric for the great, I hope your RNG-luck will improve soon!

Janohito using Assyrians with Egyptian Allies defeated GeneralKostas playing as Galatians 62-25BC. Final score 48-20.

The game was mainly decided by heavy Assyrian chariots. Galatian forces consisting of mostly warbands and imitation legionaries just had no answer to chariots. Crucial moment in the game came when a single chariot unit held 3 Galatian units for several turns before auto breaking and delaying Galatian charge while Assyrians secured crucial hilltop.

oscarius Florentine 1424 AD beats GraftMalt Berber (Murabit) 1087 - 1147 AD: 43 - 16

The Berbers deployed a veritable horde of light foot skirmishers which my line had to charge straight through to meet the foe deployed on top of a gentle hill. However they failed to score enough disrupts to seriously impact my pikes, knights and men-at-arms who chewed up the Muslim infantry.

Well-played. With some artillery on those hills I imagine I would have failed a lot more of those cohesion checks.

Two great armies. Always going to be hard fight. The African elephants didn't live up to their reputation in this one. A closer game than the scores indicate.

Lennard (Berber (Murabit) 1087-1147 AD with Andalusian 1050-1154 AD allies) draws with SpeedyCM (German (City NW) 1488-1500 AD with Low Country 1488-1500 allies): 0-0%

The map was a wide open plain with a small stream dividing it in the middle. There were some small forest and rough patches of ground sprinkeld in as well and a small hill on the far end of the german delpoyment side.
I won't go into army details as it doesn't rally matter since there was no fighting. What happend, was that the Berber army, which has invested a good number of points into cavalry with the hope of getting some flank attacks, slowly moved up to the stream and then held positions there, waiting for German movement.
The Germans on the other hand had deployed all the way back on the map edge near the small hill, which they used to place their artillery on, so that it could fire over the heads of their line. Since they didn't wanted to abbond this particular advantage, the game came to stop here. The Berbers could of cause have tried to attack, but since the map edge (and the general terrain there) prevented any surrounding or flanking moves for the Berber cavalry and their infantry was absolutly outclassed by the Germans, they decided against such an cause of action.

Thanks to SpeedyCM! Hopefully our next game will be more exiciting!
