Absolutely: added you, Ian, here as well: welcome! Please note though that you don't need to (or actually even can't) specify allies at this stage, since it's done when setting up a game and then with only the player making the challenge being allowed to bring allies (and not the challenged player) and only to the extent that the ally's time period covers the year of the EGL (900 AD in this case). And Indian (Rajput) 650-1049 AD is only your starting army, since after each concluded game you swap armies with your opponent, getting his army for your next game and him getting your army for his next game.

Karvon (Navarrese 900-1049AD) defeated Devoncop Indian (Rajput 650AD-1049AD) with Hindu North Allies

A large block of Navarrese lancers dismounted to form a core block to face off against expected mass of Indian foot supported by elephants and lancers. To support these, we brought a few defensive spear. We brought a large number of light foot and horse to act as screens and counters to the potential elephants. We had a few medium foot to support the skirmishers advance into woods covering the enemy left. We kept a couple of lancers mounted as a mobile reserve. We also had a couple of massed bow as a reserve fire support team.

The Indians surprised us by bringing only a pair of elephants and a lot of lancers instead. They had a fair number of medium foot, mostly bow. A few light foot and horse rounded out their army. The Indians deployed with their left anchored on a forest and an infantry block stretching from there off to their right. Lancers were deployed in reserves all along their line. Their elephants anchored their right flank supported by a few lancers and lights.

We launched our swarm of lights on our right in a wide sweeping movement focusing on clearing the woods on the Indian left. They fairly quickly shot up several opposing Indian foot and horse, causing others to retreat to avoid their barrage fire. Our dismounted lancers and spearmen trudged forward along a hill overlooking said woods, slowly wheeling left as the Indians were driven back by our skirmishers. The mediums followed along in the wake of the lights, finishing off units they pinned or disrupted.

The Indians wheeled their infantry line left to face our oncoming dismounted lancers. They brought up some of their lancers and attempted to drive us off the hill we were defending. Some of their lancers and lights moved to envelope our position on the hill. We shifted our own lancer reserve, spearmen and bowmen to oppose these. An extended fight broke out as these engaged. With our better position and quality, we got the upper hand along most of the line.

The Indian elephants completed their long march from the far right and joined the fight against our left flank. Our lights moved up and disrupted one, but they charged in and after a bit of a fight routed off one of my lancers. Their pursuit, however, took them into an exposed position flanked by a number of my lights and supporting foot.

In the meantime, my skirmisher wave and swept away the remnants of the Indian left and lapped around the Indian center, shooting up and driving off enemy lancers and disrupting foot for my own infantry to finish off. My infantry closed with and steadily ground down his bow.

With his losses rapidly mounting and his survivors in disarray, the Indians threw in the towel.

9 Yeferz01 Khorasanian 821-1003 AD won against 8 devoncop Navarrese 900-1049 AD

Bit of a rerun of Pelennor Fields with the armoured lancers making a bold effort against the Khorosanian Mumakil and horse archers, but unfortunately with no Aragorn to come and bail them out.
