Another result for Div. D

Epicouros (Early Fatimids) 8/27 beat Boggit (Medieval Castilian) 34/34.

The battle was harder than these numbers suggest though. Although few of my units got routed or destroyed, a lot of them (especially Abid-al-Shira footmen, but also some Mamluks) had suffered lots of losses and a few were near autobreaking. A strong position on a hill, the drawing out & isolating of a few Castilian Knights and some timely charges helped to secure the win just before a lot of my infantry would have collapsed.

Thanks for the game! (my last in the league this season).

I'll skip summer, but should be back for the autumn season.

Londo (Alexandrian Macedonian) 17/43 beat rexhurley (Early Gatae) 50/44

Londo (Early Gatae) 47/50 beat rexhurley (Alexandrian Macedonian) 37/36

Rex was very unlucky with the last game. His heavy cavalry had been riding down Thracians with great ease all game. I had beaten up Macedonian MF and LF and raided their camp, but had little success against their quality troops.

Going into the final turn, Rex was ahead by a few BP and seemed very likely to win. But some crazy Thracian dice rolls saved my day.

The Wars of Pyyrhos

eric (Pyrrhic) 7/37 vs Klayeckles (Hellenistic Spartan) 53/48

These games relied on winning initiative. The Pyrrhites needed to win to choose as open a map as possible and they did.
Klay had a very large hoplite force which can not stand up to pikes in the open, hence the result. In our other game I bought a lot of mf, who have occupied the woods. In between and behind are the hoplites. Our other game is looking like a draw.
