61-56.

A long dour struggle with the Chinese performance hampered by the unexplained disappearance of several Generals. No one is saying it's "Aliens", but it's "Aliens".

Good Luck!

Hi Guys

Geffalrus has had to withdraw doe to work commitments, however Wang (wzfcns) has thankfully agreed to take over the role as Classical Period organiser.
Well done to all, as we are ahead of schedule with reference to games completed.

Division D

The two newcomers lead with Janohito in first place and unai98 in second. It looks as if their game will decided who wins Division D.

Division C

This is looking more and more like a 3 horse race, between tmac11, IMC and ulysisgrunt. However wellsonian may well be the main threat, even though he has only played 1 game.

Division B

Desertedfox is unbeaten, with 5 wins out of 5 and is looking favourite for first spot but where is Challenge1?

Division A

Too early to make any forecasts as it is looking quite tight. The Dredd is unbeaten and beat the top 2 players so could he be the favourite to clinch a new title?

Div B
wzfcns Polish 1455-1500 AD defeats mh5064 Byzantine 1155-1204 AD with Crusaders 63-50
A very hard fought battle, with the Polish pounding the Byzantine held heights with wagon as the core. The Polish suffered heavy losses in the attack of the heights, but the cavalry overwhelmed the Byzantines from both flanks.

Division C

phlewis German 888-932 AD

defeated

IMC French 888-1049 w Viking 790-899 AD allies

58 vs 60

I really think my win was down to sheer luck. IMC broke my right wing and crushed most of my center. Meanwhile I was able to break the end of his left wing and turn my remaining troops to face his advancing troops and pull off a win. IMC you fought a great battle.

Div A

Zawzgrzyt Polish 1455-1500 w/ Hussite (Utraquist) 1419-1479 defeated GraftMalt Venetian 1440 - 1500 with Neapolitan 1443-1500 Allies 53-23

Short but intrense battle. The Swiss keil and skirmisher were a serious problem, but the knights, who made up a significant part of the Venetian army, were not good at fighting war wagons and shooting, evading cavalry.

Thanks for good game.

ulysisgrunt (Huns) defeated Badger 73 (Germanic Foot Tribes) 50-25, with superior shooting.

Division B

tmac11 leading the Numidian 55BC to 6 AD army and Roman ally.

Password is 'Numidian' and private message sent.

Division B

Deeter (Antigonid) defeats Challenge1 (Gallic) 56-31.

The Gallic types had a strong defensive position flanked by woods and a rough hill and were reluctant to come out and face the Antigonid pikes. After a long while, they advanced some cav that were driven off the map. This emboldened the Antigonids to advance, only for the cav to return and route several units! The game went down to the 24th turn before the Gauls broke.

A great start for the macedonians , and then a charge of pergamene cavalry kills several units , the pursuit was fatal for other fights , the biggest turn since i play , maybe +10 for macedonian and after the charge +15 for pergamene !!!

Thanks for a good game

ulysisgrunt (Western Hunnic 376-454)

63:41

The Indians deployed with archers in rough going in their centre and everything else on the right and then attacked over a stream, which turned out to be a mistake as it was "Not Open" and the Huns had the advantage of not being in it, but the Indian elephants did get into contact and proved decisive.
