Yes my army lost heart once they knew the Camp Followers were being Pillaged by the Hamies. They fought well though the Camp Boys

Thanks for a great game Chris. Shows the importance of gaurding ones camp against enemy raiders

batesmotel (Hamdanis) 23/31
iandavidsmith (Armenians) 37/31

22.5 Strategic victory

The Armenians split their initial attack around both sides of a large wood. The Hamdanids manage to concentrate against the smaller Armenian pincer of all armoured lancers and finally managed to destroy that before the second Armenian pincer made the wide swing to get in the rear of the Hamdanids although it got very close to arriving in time in the end.

Thanks for the game.

Chris

If my calculations are right we miss only the result of the game between Ian & Ulysis to end the tournament!
Any news about this last battle, guys?

It is closer than previous games would indicate!
Danny Weitz

Should be finished by the next turn , i think the Armenians have lost this one.
