[Morbio]

Division A

Morbio - Carthaginian 235-146 BC with Spanish (Iberian) 300-10 BC allies defeated Questar17 - Pergamene 190-129 BC with Greek 227-146 BC allies 62-38

A nail-biter that went to the penultimate turn before nightfall! My thanks to Questar for a great game!

[Aetius39]

Division A

Aetius39 (Chinese) defeats lydianed (Beidi) 46-11

Enough of the Beidi cavalry got disrupted or whittled down enough before they could get close and do damage to the Chinese ranged units. GG!

[SawyerK]

Division E

SawyerK with the Picts defeated oldog52 leading the Dacians by 40 to 7.

The battles broke my way and the score differential was not really representative of the strategies and tactics.

[gamercb]

Division E

gamercb (Chinese 3 Kingdoms (Wu) 222-280 AD) beat DirtyMark (Chinese (Jin) 266-316 AD) 61-41

The 3 Kingdom right wing collapsed under the pressure of the Jin infantry but the army was saved by the left wing that was able to defeat their opponents and get back to the centre in time to rout the Jin centre.
A good battle.

[Holien]

Division E

Holien - (Carthaginian (Hannibal in Africa) 202 BC with Numidian/Moorish 341-56 BC allies) defeats Bluefin - (Syracusan 280-211 BC) 49 - 21

A tough game for the Syracusan cavalry force that attempted to flank Hannibal by taking the left high ground. What they were not aware of was that Hannibal had Elephants to take that same ground and these were hidden in deep forests as they approached the same hills. By the time they saw their opponents it was too late and the Syracusan force were on the back foot. They did make some headway on the right flank after some miscommunication between Hannibal and his Generals launched an ill fated charge that should not have been made. (Fat fingers / brain fart on the keyboard). Anyway good game and thank you to my most gracious opponent.

[Karvon]

Division B

Karvon - Dailami 928-1055 AD drew with lydianed - Rus 960-1053 AD with Bulgar (Danube) 852-1018 AD allies 26-26 for a score of 2-2.

The Dailami foot pushed up the right side of the field moving through woods and marsh then across some open ground to a position in woods on the Rus left flank. Dailami horse swung wide around the woods and rode around the Rus rear looking for targets. The mass of Rus spear in a central position kept the Dailami at bay for the most part. Both sides suffered losses in the running fights around the woods and marshes with night falling before either side was really in any position to defeat the other.

(2-2)

[Aetius39]

Division A

Aetius39 (Beidi) defeats lydianed (Chinese) 46-21

While the Beidi took a hill on their right and used their bowmen to help disrupt and ultimately rout a lot of the opposing units, the Chinese cavalry got the upper hand on their right, scattering or isolating most of the Beidi cavalry. Ultimately the Beidi dropped more units first, and the battle ended but there were several Beidi units on frag and the game would have probably continued much longer if one Chinese unit regained cohesion. GG!
