Yeah, I'm the pedantic type.

I was the defeated Philistines you were the victorious Neo-Hittite/Aramaean.

Results up to the end of week 4.
There are four weeks left, if you have not already done so you should be making your second challenge this week.

The HCH made a big difference but the Nomads, with no mounted and all average troops proved a worthy match

Division F

In the games between IMC and gort7078 I can report as follows

Game 2: Hebrew (IMC) has beaten Kushite (gort7078). Final score 57% v 32% to IMC.

Very close till the Chariots outflanked the infantry. Great game.

IMC

Division À

Rafydedel (Egyptian 2686 bc) defeats rosedelio (Nubian 3000 bc) 40-15.

Nubians bowmen cannot prevent Egyptian fighters from engaging them in close fighting which is always fatal to them…

Div B

Triarii with Arab (Abbasid) defeats SawyerK with Khazars (738-929) 52-23 Scores 97-23

and

Triarii with Khazars (738-929) defeats SawyerK with Arab (Abbasid) 57-29 Scores 91-29

Two tough games where foot struggled catching mobile mounted archers. Although a magnificent infantry defence in the first game turned what was looking like a big defeat for the Khazars into a much closer fight - some very tough MI there.

many thanks to SawyerK for two good games.

Division D

angusosborne (Scots-Irish) defeats nyczar (Roman) 48-23

Div-E

Olddog52 (Sumerian/Akkadian 2500-2193)Victory vs carpenkm (Egyptian 2176-1551) 62-57% = 63-57pts

A bloodbath. Men did not run but stood and died beyond all reason, over and over again.

Div E

and in the reverse match more bodies, more blood and more men standing against all odds

carpenkm (Sumerian/Akkadian 2500-2193)Victory vs Olddog52 (Egyptian 2176-1551) 61-49% = 71-49pts

Two very enjoyable battles with the "new" old armies. Good battles to the end - well played. Until the next blood bath!

markleslie Babylonian 890-729 BC defeats Bagatrix1805 Egyptian 945-720 BC 59%-33%. Score 87-33.

Impact foot rampage, roll the dice and unleash mayhem.

Div A

Rosedelio (Hyksos) defeats tyronec (Nubian) 57-30. Score 90-30.

The Nubian archers did a lot of damage to the close fighters and irregular foot as they approached, but there were so many that enough reached the archers and won the melee.

Division F

Game 1: Kushite (IMC) has beaten Hebrew (gort7078). Final score 61% v 57% to IMC.
