Division B

devoncop (Order of St John) beat NeroWolfe (German Imperial 1488-1500)

After the shambolic performance of the Holy Order Knights in the first outing against the barbarian Scots a threat of excommunication helped the Order to a victory against the Kiel heavy Germans. This largely involved running away from the Kiels and taking out those less powerful than ourselves but this will be glossed over.

Div A

Karvon Venetian 1440-1500 AD defeated ChrisTownsend Dailami 1056-1500AD 50-24.

The Dailami deployed their foot along the slopes of a large hill on our right with horse covering their flanks and in reserve.
We sent some of our light horse wide around each flank, which drew off some of his horse. One division of knights followed up this move on our left and destroyed or drove off his opposing horse. One division of knights tackled the center portion of the hill, making a few charges in an attempt to overrun his foot, to no real effect. They were supported by our light foot, which shredded up some of his defending foot. Two divisions tackled the left end of his line and broke through several foot and supporting archers. Part of these divisions also saw off his opposing horse. While we lost a few lights, they did distract and tie up a bit of his horse, and we did lose one of our knights which got flanked in pursuing on our left. The accumulated losses for the Dailami, however, led to their final collapse.

Division B

Solemnace Scots (Isles and Highlands) 1320-1493 AD defeats Indibil Polish 1386 - 1454 with Hungarian 1320 68-44

A long tiring game. The Scots successfully routed off the field most of the Polish and Hungarian infantry and dragged down the bulk of the knights only to have to spend many turns running after the rallied infantry and enemy cavalry trying to pin them down enough to force a result. Finally as the day was ending a flank charge forced an auto rout on the last hostile infantry, some light foot archers were chased off the field and some polish mounted crossbowmen fragmented the turn before were caught on their exhausted horses as they failed to run away to finally break and put an end to the fighting. Leaving the exhausted and badly depleted Scots the victors.

Byzantine and Turkoman cavalry gave me some trouble on the flanks but the Scots smashed through their infantry in the centre for the victory.

Division A

Chris Townsend's Dailami 1056 defeated Bagatrix1805's German City NW 1488 (and German feudal allies) 60 to 50.

The two armies somehow managed to meet in an open desert. Each side deployed their infantry in their nice defensive enclosure, but eventually tired of that and sallied out. The Dailami tried to dance their cavalry around the slower German knights, but the two German Keil provide combined arms support through their invulnerability to flank attacks. Eventually some knights were trapped, but not without loses, including to the Dailami infantry advancing on the other side into the remaining German knights, who convincingly demonstrated that knights, not infantry, are the best impact troops!

in the centre, the Dailami skirmishers and some rear attacks by Bedoiun light horse supported a complete disintegration of both army's battle lines, and flank attacks started to be routine. In the end, the Dailami numbers won the day in the chaos, with the German's essentially reduced to their two two Keil and three knights.

The Dailami where also exhausted and left those heavy units alone as they proudly left the battle field.

A good if chaotic game!

The Ottoman army relied on fortifications to wage war and won the cavalry battle. The fall of Rhodes was inevitable.

Division B

devoncop (Order of St John 1450-1500) beat Indibil (Polish 1386-1454 with Hungarian Allies)... 62-51

Tournament points :

devoncop: 60+9 = 69

Indibil : 51

A barely believable result.

In a staggering display of incompetence the Order of St John Commander distracted by his morning devotions to his elite Knight units in the rear of the Order battle line saw his front line on the left and centre totally overrun before the Knights were ordered to frantically move forward narrowly escaping a catastrophic early loss.
The heroic resistance of some Order archer and crossbow units on the right and a single unit of archers that had found some sanctuary from the rampaging Police Cavalry in the centre allowed the finally activated Order Knights reserve to charge into the Polish cavalry in the centre and on the Order left flank sweeping them from the field and grabbing a highly improbable result.

Commiserations to my very unlucky opponent.
