Honestly I don't know how to report this one... A very narrow win or a draw ?

Anyway
gfs26 [Byzantines 988-1041]
won or draw against
Nosferatu [Croatian 850-1102]

the score was 61-60 !!!

An amazing battle, really fun and unpredictable until the very last turn ! Croatian army was lead in a perfect manner by enemy General, aginst better quality Byzantines (but in the end the numerical advantage was quite decisive ... about 12000 Croatian vs about 8000 Byzanines)... at the end of the battle there were no more than 4000 vs 2000...a bloodbath. Great battle ! Thanks to my opponent for the great fight !
PS. the ELO system gives a full victory to Byzantines (+15 ELO var vs -15 ELO var) it seems a bit too much honestly ! This should be a +-1 ELO var. Is FOG2 Ancient ELO system bugged ?

Just to chime in, this was really an amazing battle, thanks gfs26. Also the closest and most chaotic I ever had, in the last several turns, each random roll could have changed the outcome significantly, but the balance kept swinging back and forth and both our troops slugged it out stubbornly until they all collapsed exhausted. I think the 1% difference is enough reason to declare this a victory for gfs26.

Hi both

Any nails left?:)

This is classed as a draw

If no army has been routed or both have inflicted 60%+ casualties this would be classed as a Draw The recorded score will then be used

Nosferatu has a 1246 TDCR and gfs 1180, after entering data, N = -3.23 and G = +3.23.

I think that is quite fair

Division D

AKvGoeben (Lysimachid 320-281BC w Thracian Hellenistic 350-281bc allies)
7 - 51

The Lysimachids had the advantage of terrain, with most of their troops on higher ground. The Thracians were unperturbed and attacked uphill anyway. There was clearer terrain on the Thracian left and the Thracians put nearly all of their cavalry there. Despite having fewer lancers than the Lysimachids, they had more cavalry overall, as well as some infantry support, and eventually were able to wipe out the Lysimachid right flank. In the centre, it was a terrific struggle as the Thracians clawed their way up the low hill. Some were thrown back, but they attacked again and again. The Lysimachids fought back manfully and had many a successful attack here, but the Thracians held on by the skin of their teeth long enough for the arrival of reinforcements from the cavalry battle to tip the scales. The Thracians refused their right flank, and the Lysimachids were only just beginning to get into contact and push it back when the game finished. A well played game that could have gone the other way if the Thracians in the centre hadn't held out despite in some cases being fragmented.
