Triarii Neapolitan 1440-1500 with Venetian 1440-1500 allies
defeats
edb1815 Bohemian Catholic 1450-1500 with Hungarian ally

40-7

A very unsubtle route 1 game where mountains left a small pass. A mass of Neapolitian light troops allowed all important slopes to be reached first and also protected dismounted knights on the left and pikes on the right from cannon, war wagon and Xb fire until getting to grips. The dismounted knights were capable of dealing with the Bohemian war wagons, especially while upslope, while pikes and kiel outclassed the spears and Xb facing them. There was also some evening up of luck for the Neapolitians to edb's cost. Both in combat results and - after the previous severe attrition of Neapolitian Generals they got through a battle without any carelessness at all. None were lost in combat - a first for this list in this tourney.

Well done on a tough map!

Div A

Zawzgrzyt Andalusian 756-1049 drew with Karvon Arab Conquest 629 AD 21-31

It was a siege of the fortress. After a long firing the Andalusians launched a risky assault, but without success.
cheers

I second that! Greatly appreciate all you do organizing and making this tournament work!
Thanks!!

Likewise. Well done with this tourney.

Div B

Draw between frederic 02 Byzantines 942-962 AD 31% losses vs rpadilla1988 Byzantines 988-1041 17%losses


Very hard fight. Thanks to my opponent.

Division B

lydianed (Anglo Saxon & Viking) defeated rpadilla1988 (Byzantine 988) 47-22

The two sides formed up across a river valley and skirmished for advantage. When the melee started, the Anglo-Saxons were able to hold the Byzantine right to a standstill and made progress in the centre and the left, avoiding the Varangian Death Squads as much as possible. Good game.

Div B


Triarii German 933-1049 with Polish 966-1057 allies
defeats
lydianed Anglo Saxon 950-1016 and Viking Allies

51-18

A game decided by the fastest left-wing collapse.
Both armies deployed with a weak left-wing but the German left was protected by both a large area of rough ground and the distance the Saxons extended to their right. Even so the Saxon withdrawal of their left was going well and well executed until a single turn with two withdrawal disruptions just as the German right came within reach and just before the Saxons could close the map edge, After that the Saxon left was collapsed quickly and the centre flanked before the strong Saxon right could overlap the Germans. Tough luck on Lydianed on those crucial last withdrawals.

This result haven’t been included to final results. Division A

Questar17 Hussite (Utraquist) 1419-1479 AD beats random27 Ghurid 1100-1215 AD + Indian (Hindu North) 1050-1300 AD allies 61:49

Another tough battle as almost all of them in the tournament. '

thx for the game

Div A

Dreddradish (Spanish - Sertorius) defeats carpenkm (Spartan w Roman Allies) 41 - 15

The Spartans defended a long hill. This led to a protracted skirmish battle as the Spanish worked around their right flank. This flanking maneuver stretched the Spartan line until the centre thinned out and the Spanish finally launched their assault. Mixed results saw the battle ebb and flow for a few turns before the weight of Spanish troops in the centre finally broke through, putting the Spartans to flight.

Well done Dredd that's first place in Classical Div A.

Div B

Triarii German 933-1049 with Polish 966-1057 allies
defeats
rpadilla1988 Byzantine 988 - 1041
41-16

A tough fight.
Byzantines had advantage of a central hill and Germans a central hill between woods and mountain.
Germans came down off their hill but advanced right with armoured cavalry, both mounted and dismounted, only leaving a cavalry screen on their left to approach the narrowest part of the Byzantine hill.
Byzantines came down to shoot it out and had early success out-shooting the German light screen but then infantry lines closed. Varangians in the Byzantine centre were tough and beat their opponents but too slowly, while the second Varangian unit got hung up on the German extreme left faced off by poor quality lancers. Meanwhile dismounted armoured German lancers ground through the Byzantine foot on the German right and a lucky combat win (after a crucial double dip) for German cavalry on the extreme German left put formed German cavalry units behind the engaged Byzantine right and centre. That decided the game. This was a tough game after a long period of redeployment - good game.
Thanks to rpadilla.

Can I add my thanks too Eric.

Also; last result - edb and I played out the game that was adjudicated to conclusion.
Adjudication was 47-60
