Division 3

rexhurley (Numidian/Moorish 341-56BC) defeats Rob123 (Antiginod) 56/31

Try as they might, turning in circles everywhere but one could not see for the desert dust created by the swirling desert locusts.

Thank you as Rob for continuing to play though adversity and a constant rain of javelins and a thousand cuts as the javs ran out

Division 3.
JacobusRobertus Egyptian 1550-1451 BC

defeated

Asterix_von_TWC Trojan 1280-1180 BC

61:49

A bit of a slug fest where the Egyptians overextended themselves on the right flank and were cut down by a defence in death, but won in the centre and right. The Egyptians' bow armed chariotry ultimately proved superior to the spear armed Trojans, but in typical light cavalry fashion more than half the force disappeared in a pursuit that made it touch and go in the centre. Had the Trojans not tipped over the magical 60% when they did it could have gone the other way. Thanks for the game. (Thanks to Peek 101 for pointing out I posted this in the wrong forum initially.)

rexhurley (Franks) defeats Vakarr (Dacian) by the narrowest margin possible 60/59.....

it all came down to a couple of fragged units holding on and Vakarr not rallying any broken units on turn 20...

division C

Conteshard Milanese beats Ulysisgrunt German with Swiss allies 60-59

"Another victory like this and I am undone" said Pirrus.
As usual the swiss are almost unstoppable tanks and only a very luky followup charge by one of my knight was able to catch one in the back.

Incredibly hard fought, thanks Ulysisgrunt!

Division 3.
Asterix_von_TWC Trojan 1280-1180 BC

defeated

Alexmike1 Median 836-627 BC

37:63

In a a battle of two hills the Trojans had to gamble in a frontal assault across two rough-hewn bosom-like hills, and hold the superior enemy cavalry on their left flank long enough.... for the surprise central chariot assault which quickly bypassed the Median infantry slamming fury into the light tropps and making the infantry on the heights hesitate long enough for the narrowest of margins. Well played!

Good battle in which the Romans were glad of the presence of muliple engines to help tackle the formidable enemy Cats.

Blagrot Germanic Horse Tribes 260-492 + Dacian (Carpi) 107-380 allies defeated Rob123 Palmyran 258-273 + Arab 312 BC-299 AD allies 48%-11%

Many of the legions and cataphracts got caught in the space between 2 sets of poor terrain, not helped by a hapless opening charge form the catas into the gothic lancers that saw only defeats and even disruptions. The warbands gleefully swarmed the auxila, irregulars and archers to predictable slaughter. Thanks for the game
