You can also learn the most from a defeat I've found. My first MP match was against devoncop, and that gave me enough XP to jump 3 levels in Skirmishing. Though perhaps I should have invested more of that in Rough Terrain Exploitation based on how things panned out with Sunny and Gen Shapur.

Given the record of Geffalrus compared to my own usual mediocrity I am now realising how Dr Frankenstein felt......

Division C
Ulysisgrunt (Germanic Horse Tribes) over MikeMuc (Romans) 60 to 55.
The score hints at the ferocity and tenacity of the battle....

(3-1)

Division C

garymann - Ostrogoth 493-561 AD beat mkjhartmann - Scots-Irish 477-846 AD 40-3

To be fair, it was a very flat and open piece of Scotland, so good lancer country. Mike was unlucky with the terrain and with a more representative piece of Scotland would have performed better.

Division C

lydianed (Assyrian) defeats MikeMUC (Persian) 62-41.

Great game which was very close throughout. The persians occupied a series of linked hills and the Assyrians formed up opposite. The Assyrians made headway through combined chariotry and cavalry and steering clear of the persian immortals until the very end. Well played.

Division C

Geffalrus (Athenians) defeats deve (Lydians) 40-4. Good game to my opponent.

A large forest and mountain on the Athenian flanks prevented the Lydians from making early use of their incredible cavalry. Skirmishers were sent forward by both sides, but the Athenians came out ahead. Rather than sit put, the Athenians rolled their armored hoplites forward, while the flank hoplites played face-off with the cavalry. Unable to effectively outflank the Athenian line, the Lydians were forced into a frontal confrontation. Having access to Veteran hoplites and a larger armored hoplite pool proved decisive in the end.

The scope of the battle.
