Division 3

JacobusRobertus Egyptian 1550-1451 BC defeated RussellGardener1964 Assyrian 704 - 682BC 61:46.

The Egyptians took up a defensive position along a ridge, centre and right, facing Assyrian infantry in (protected obstacle) fields, deploying their chariots on their left flank.

The Egyptian chariots engaged the Assyrian heavy chariots to their front, but struggled to contain them, especially as Assyrian Cavalry and Camelry switched to their right flank to join in. The mixed spear and bow Assyrian infantry were in range of the lightly protected Egyptian, and the latter were forced to attack them, enveloping them around their far left flank in an attempt to compensate for their lack of heavy armour and having to attack their enemy across obstacles. So commenced a meat grinder battle in which the Egyptians just succeeded in wearing down their opponents just before they themselves were exhausted - the final result belying how close the battle really was. Good game, thanks Russell.

oscarius Mongol (Ilkhanid) 1230-1353 w Armenian beats cromlechi Low Countries 1275
45 - 17

It was always going to be a tough ride for my foe who lacked much firepower in his list or medium foot capacity to counter my own. The foe was drawn into futile pursuits and slowly worn die by the Ilkhanate's unrelenting fire. As they became spread out I was able to use my mobility to encircle his softer infantry and then eventually his knights and heavy foot. Well-played.

division 3

heidipie catalan fellowship defeated mh5064 latin greece, 43 to 15

hill on one side, forest on other, and extensive broken ground in between perfect for the catalan foot and archers

greek knights shot up badly in center right while main catalan attack on greek foot on center left resulted in catalan victory, and then catalans turned on the greek center and completed the killing

greeks did serious damage on extreme catalan right and held the hill also, so died with honour !! GG

division 3 heidipie viking irish defeated ironclad french with vikings , 70 to 37

terrible terrain for mounted, big hill one side and forest on other. French cleared the woods but the irish kerns came wheeling over the hill and with more units the french badly outnumbered. their knights tried to flank but suprised by enemy in the woods and so ineffective. was actually very close all game until last two turns, when viking had numerous overlaps due to superior numbers and many last minute routs....

GG thanks

DIV 4

Alexhstandish (western Huns) beat ironclad (Roman 285-312 with Franks): 40;10

Tough fight. Romans locked a flank on a large wood, infantry and a lot of artillery in the centre and cavalry on the left. The Huns were nervous about the artillery, but attacked the flanks. Big cavalry action on Roman left was eventually won by the Huns. Roman right was more confused because of auxilaries in the wood. Huns managed to sneak light troops through to take out the artillery, allowing the Hun cavalry to close.

Good game, thanks Ironclad.

The battle was largely decided by fire as the Parthian horse archers proved very vulnerable to return fire and lacked heavy infantry. Good game!
