Division A

Triarii - Carthaginian, Hannibal in Africa 202 BC beats harveylh - Ptolemaic 166-56 BC 52-25

A good game and much closer than score suggests.
Ptolomaic occupied a hill and stayed there given huge expanse of rough ground in front.
Cagey skirmisher conflict early on but Cartaginians drove back Ptolomaic and then spent a few turns hurling javelins and slinging stones while the Carthaginian left were cleverly led into trouble.
Ptolomaic phalanxes were forced to come down from their hill as Carthaginian elephants started to flank them and crucially lost a General straight away - after that it was who collapsed first Carthaginian left shored up by an elephant or the Ptolomeic phalanxes in the centre. The rub of the green was with Carthage.

For the second season in a row dkalenda has won Classical Antiquity Division A, this time with the Lysimachid army. Although klayeckles can finish with the same number of points, dkalenda won the match between the two players and so will finish on top. Well played dkalenda.

Congratulations dkalenda !

So the winner of the top Division in the entire League wins with a regular none Medium Infantry spam army.

Almost like all the demands to regulate low quality massed armies was a bit .....you know....pointless

Division B

lydianed (Lydians) defeated paulmcneil (Thracians) 42-14

After being on the wrong end of a couple of defeats to Paul's Thracian hordes hiding in woods (see his crushing defeat of my Gauls in Classical Antiquity) this was a welcome change of form. Faced with the Thracian's hiding (once again) in woodland, the Lydians withdrew, giving the appearance of refusing battle. This drew out the Thracians. Hoplites and armoured lancers were overall too strong for their opponents and held off a ferocious and desperate attack on the right flank while rolling up the left. I find those Thracian spearmen...offensive. GG

unfortunately my thracians were tricked by lydians hordes hiding in the open.

klayeckles (persian) vs Triarii (carthage) 55:27
an interesting match up with similar armies...carthage with more quality, persians with more troops and mobility. a river narrowed the battlefield and the carthage artillery guarded the flank from wandering persian cavalry. So the persians had to abandon their usual flanking moves and go with a different plan...they ran for a large woodland on the left flank while a few other troops lingered in the center, making for an enticing carthage attack. when the Carthaginians closed in on the slow moving troops some of the persians in the woods that were headed to meet the carthage right,reversed and came back out of the woods surprising the overextended carthaginian interlopers with an internal out flank. the rest of the fight was an even affair, but with an entire wing decimated and some fortuitous persian dice rolling it was over quickly.

Semi Final

Geffalrus (Ptolemy Side) defeats rexhurley (Seleucid Side) 45-16. Vengeance for Palmyra has been achieved.

The Ptolemaic right wing led by Galatians and mercenary pikes slammed into the Seleucid left wing of Persian archers and Irregular Foot, routing them utterly. On the left wing, the Ptolemaic heavy cavalry withdrew in the face of superior numbers and elephants. The eventual clash was delayed until well after the phalanx lines collided. The impact of pike vs. pike went largely in the Ptolemy's favor as lady luck manifested in physical form amidst the phalanx and proceeded to smash Seleucid sarissa left and right. Sorry Rex.......

The horror:
