Division 3

rexhurley (Numibian) defeats with Blagrot (Seleucid) 62/37.

After a brain fade start by myself assuming all the Cav I could see in the second rank of Blagrot's deployment were Cats, when in reality it was a nasty trap of bow armed cav which trapped my first swarm wave nicely, I managed to pull back the deficit to create a comfortable win when the map became fragmented and the strength of the Desert swarm comes into its own.

Thanks for the game Blagrot and pushing to finish these last couple of days to help me out in real life, appeciate it.
Regards Rex

Division 1

Geffalrus (Byzantines) vs. Kroche (Vikings)

Geffalrus wins 40-14

Slow going chopping through a mass of beefy infantry like the Vikings, but the Byzantine lancers were able to lock them in place while the archers slowly turned them into pincushions. Another turn or two and the Irish allies and berserkers were set to get around my flank and stop my cavalry's attempts at social distancing. GG to Kroche

GDod (Breton 1466-1491 + Castilian 1476-1497 allies) beats rpadilla1988 (Papal 1440) in a tight match that was closer than the score suggests. 68/49

Div 4

I don't think that wzfcns has posted his victory:

Burgundian 1471-77 defeated Ilkhanid Mongols 68:47.

An interesting match, in which horse archers had to contend with well-deployed longbowmen with stakes and plenty of enclosures, all quite close to the edge of the map. One of the good things about this tournament is that I discovered that we have more choice over terrain size than I had previously thought. In the interests of shooty cavalry, though, I wonder why we cannot use that feature to have bigger rather than smaller battlefields?

Div D.

AKvGoeben (Lysimachids with Hellenistic Thracian Allies) defeats DIVM (Romans with Iberian Allies) 42-64.

A hard fought bloodbath.

Lysimachid left wing consisting of the phalanxes were eventually able to defeat their Roman counterparts, whilst the weaker and slightly refused right wing consisting of medium rhomphaia troops and some hoplites did not take long to crumble. The day was arguably saved by the Lysimachid cavalry on the right who were able to defeat the Roman and Iberian cavalry then return to hit the Romans from behind and save the phalanx.

GGWP to DIVM and fair play to him for coming forward and fighting me on the plain.
