The Dustbin

Usually is with the Slaves, they die in droves. I reckon double the amount might even things up

[rbodleyscott]

Division A

rbodleyscott (Romano-British) won vs MikeC_81 (Jewish Revolt), 35% to 63%

A very exciting game. The Zealots carried all before them, but the Romano-British concentrated their stronger attacks (warbands and cavalry) on the Irregular Jewish Foot. The latter collapsed faster than the British foot, allowing the Britons to flank several zealot units in the closing stages of the battle. (Although, to be fair, the zealots also did their fair bit of flanking). Outnumbering the Truculent Hebrews in non-light units also helped.

[Ludendorf]

Ludendorf (Palymrans 258-273AD) defeats shawkhan (Sassanids 224-476AD) 23-28%. Opponent surrendered.

This one was in serious doubt right up until the surrender. Thanks for the game shawkhan.

Nosy_Rat will play Ludendorf in the final paired match of the Themed Event. The armies are Sassanid Persians (224-476AD) v Hepthalites (350-470AD). I am setting the deadline for completion initially at 9pm (BST) on next Sunday August 12th. This is when the tournament is scheduled to close. If we can just see how it goes and there will be no problem granting an extension if you need it. As I have already indicated, the timings for this event for season 3 will be modified. Good luck to both of you.

I played poorly and got good dice rolls. I botched this battle from beginning to end but sometimes, Vet Hastati/Principes just don't care and end up doing all the work for you.

edit: GGs to all my opponents in this division.
