Division C
Vakarr (Dacian 89-106 + Sarmatian 25-375 allies) defeats alexmike1 (Roman 197-284)
58-31

The Romans and Dacians lined up on the opposite sides of a gully. It appeared that the Romans had the advantage in troop types and numbers from the beginning and they attacked across the non-disordering stream and climbed up the other side to be met with initial success. There was an equal number of heavy and medium infantry units on both sides. The thin Dacian line was pushed back on the Dacian left but held in the centre, while the Dacians, seeing a possible advantage in the Roman left flank, which consisted of cavalry, light troops, and archers, rushed across the stream to meet them there. The Roman auxilia held their centre and the Dacians were forced to attack uphill against them. Some shooting from the Dacian artillery may have helped, as every Dacian charge against the auxilia disrupted the Romans (not sure if artillery shooting causes a minus when testing from being charged by warbands). It was a terrific fight but with the Roman left flank in disarray and flanked and the auxilia smashed the Roman right flank could not make up the difference. On seeing so many superior and extra-superior Romans I thought I didn't stand a chance but it proved otherwise.

Morat (Burgundian/English) beat frederic02 Egyptians Mameluks 54-27

Terrain favoured the Burgundians. Lows hills and enclosures proving useful for the bow heavy force to anchor on. Egyptians fought hard to get round the flanks - but the longbows made the difference.

Thanks for frederic02 for the battle.

Division 4.

Ilkhanid Mongols defeated English (Yorkist) 1486-1497 AD 51:19

The Mongols faced the Yorkist army occupying hedged fields on the very rear of the battlefield, with a difficult hill and marsh making advancing on the Mongol right flank look very unattractive. In the centre and left, however, low hills, interspersed with rough ground and a couple of woods, looked a better place to fight. The Yorkists' small mounted force, supported by four companies of longbowmen decided on a sally, unsupported by the rest of their infantry, and the Mongols were able to wipe out the cavalry and neutralise the longbowmen with their own archers. At this stage the Mongol commander contemplated accepting a non-decisive victory, and waiting to see if the Yorkists would come out of their enclosures to play. The bards do not sing about commanders like that, however, so he decided instead on sending horse archers to try to pick off the longbowmen and supporting pikes and bills at the extreme rear and right of the English position to induce them to attack out of the enclosures. The horse archers' ability to evade was limited by so many units operating in a confined space, but with the help of the Sky gods the tactic proved successful.

Sorry, reporting this late having been though my battles to make sure I was up to date with everything. I don't remember much about this battle other than that it was close all the way, and it could so easily have gone the other way right up until the end. Thanks for the game.

edb1815 Anglo-Irish w Irish Allies defeated Bagatrix1805 Order of St John w Armenian allies 63%-44%

Well played game. A tale of 2 flanks as the Anglo-Irish set up an Ambush force of kerns and cavalry in a wood on the right flank and withdrew the left letting the knights and their multitude of crossbowmen occupy a hill. The Irish took many casualties from missiles as the opposing line advanced lead by dismounted knights. Once they got into melee the flanking force emerged and fell on the flank and rear eventually taking out the line of bowmen as the other flank collapsed and the mounted knights surged forward.

edb1815 (Anglo-Irish w Irish allies) defeated lydianed (Latin Greece w Catalan Co ally): 60%-47%

Thanks for the game - well played. Another battle where the Irish medium infantry took a lot of casualties! The Latin army had superior medium infantry from their Spanish allies and used that to good effect in the rough terrain. Fortunately for the Irish a stream bisected the battlefield somewhat nullifying the charges of the Latin knights. The Anglo-Irish heavy infantry then took a toll of the Latin medium foot and bows. The few English knights hit above their weight getting some crucial flanks.
