oscarius (Axumite) beats random27 (Palmyran): 50 - 20

My elephants and camels did a great job of nullifying the potentially deadly Palmyran cataphracts. The rest of the Cats got distracted chasing my cheap cavalry around and were unable to contribute much to the battle. Meanwhile my numerous medium impact foot held the edge on my opponent's infantry throughout the match and were quickly able to bully their way into hacking through the Palmyran massed archers (whose rough terrain offered them no protection).

Good game!

Division 3 results:

RussellGardener1964 (French) defeats mh5064 (Order of St John) by 50 - 25

We got to a point where it was 40-15 and my opponent managed a couple of rallies which got him right back in the game and so we battled on. A thrilling match.

Best regards

Good game to IMC. The terrain played a crucial role for the victory of the thessalians, and a spoonful of luck.

Cheers

Division B

rexhurley (Skythians) narrowly defeats Najanaja (Seleucid) 63/50

Assisted by decent rally rolls at the right times, goat pens and enclosures securing both flanks Najanja took me to the top of the last turn before the nut was cracked with 3 pike blocks and cav still in the field it was a close one.

Thanks for the challenge mate well played.

Division B

Captain Savage Pyrrhic 280-275 with Samnite allies defeats Nosferatu! (sorry) Carthaginian (Hannibal in Italy) 216 with Samnite allies.

64:56

Nicely balanced set up. Some hills covered with a rough covered plateau on the right wing. A flat plain in the centre dominated by a low hill with scattered rough hills on the left. The Samnite allies from both sides took to the hills and there was a massive battle of the mediums on the right flank. I thought I had the better of it until my General died leading the first charge across the plateau. All was not lost though as I had enough troops on hand to sneak around the flank of the Carthaginian veteran spears. Attacked on all sides they eventually succumbed tot he phalanxes and Samnites. The rest of the centre was the phalanxes vs imitation legionaries and accompanying mediums. My elephant - rather then swinging the battle gave up after a few rounds and ran for the hills. The cavalry battle on the left wing was very chaotic. The Carthaginians had the better of it but failed to keep the Pyrrhic cavalry off their rear. Then again some of the Carthaginian cavalry got into the back of the Pyrrhic line. The score reflects the even balance of the battle and I suspect the only thing to separate the two armies were the inability of two Carthaginian Samnite units being unable to re-join the battle at the centre soon enough to influence the final skirmishes. The light units played an important part and both sides had they moments of glory.

That's my last battle in the Classical Division. Thanks to all my opponents. That was a lot of fun and it seems I have remembered most of the rules.
