I understand you're very busy with your current matches so no rush. It's just my last match to post so I will leave it out there for you.

Division D for Correction

I think we missed reporting a result General Shapur (Pictish) defeats Barrold713 (Romans) 50-25

I blame poor lifestyle choices on losing this one.

Division D

Supervark Sassanid Persians 477-590Ad with Haepthalite 350-570AD allies narrowly beat rs2excelsior Byzantine 551- 578 AD 64%-41%

The Persian cavalry had a torrid time against the Byzantines and most of it disappeared off the field at a great rate of knots but did inflict some casualties. it was the Persian elephants that really pulled it off beating up unit after unit of Byzantines eventually carrying the day. The Persian infantry made its way up a small hill on the Persian right flank and happily watched it all unfold from the comfort of their camp chairs. The massed archers shot a few people that came close but there was not a great deal of exertion on their part. A close game which at one point when most of my Cavalry had vanished I thought I would lose. The elephants get extra rations after that. Good game great opponent thanks.

Division D

Supervark Sassanid Persians 477-590AD with Haepthalite 350-570AD allies defeats Garokan Arab Bedouin 300-636 AD with Byzantine allies 579-599AD 53%-22%

The Arabs came roaring forward on the left flank and destroyed nearly all the Persian cavalry there not without some loss the Persians managed to get some good shots in before breaking. Fortunately, the great grey pachyderms were supporting that flank and caused major havoc with the Arab horse. Bursting through the Arab ranks and scattering them before turning back towards the left flank and center. In the centre again the Arabs rushed forward but the Persian infantry was positioned too far back for them to really engage before the elephants on the left flank turned back to help out. The normally supine Persian infantry actually managed to rout some encroaching lightfoot and exploited a hole in the Arab line to get a unit behind. On the right flank, three units of horse archers and some light horse managed to delay the Bedouin lancers and some foot while inflicting heavy casualties though one of the Persian units became too bold and was crushed by front and rear attacks.

A good game against a brave opponent.

in a game yet again ruined by rng and weird evades by lights. Likely outcome will be both players will be uninstalling post event as much as we will miss the community some of the recent patches have made the game a lottery and beyond a joke.

Very long front, got the better of his cavalry on my left. One fragmented elephant unit held off his elephants long enough to prevent a collapse of my center. Some lucky routs elsewhere sealed the deal.

The Persians had an all cavalry army, with a few elephants, while the Palmyrans brought many massed archers and irregular infantry because there was quite a bit of rough terrain, along with a stream in the middle. For a while there was a bit of posturing on both sides, each trying to get field advantage. Slowly but surely the armies got together, but it was really two smaller battles away from each other. This benefited the Palmyrans as the battle further to the north had only a few Persian cavalry that the archers/medium infantry, and one Roman legion could gang up on. In the south, the Palmyrans foolishly had their cataphracts charge into the elephants, but luckily they held until the rest of the Persian force was routed. Could have been a lot closer or lost if my units broke earlier. GG to my opponent!
