[heidipie]

division 3 heidipie viking irish defeated ironclad french with vikings , 70 to 37

terrible terrain for mounted, big hill one side and forest on other. French cleared the woods but the irish kerns came wheeling over the hill and with more units the french badly outnumbered. their knights tried to flank but suprised by enemy in the woods and so ineffective. was actually very close all game until last two turns, when viking had numerous overlaps due to superior numbers and many last minute routs....

GG thanks

[Nosferatu]

Division 3
Nosferatu [Croatian] wins against Garokan [Viking+French]
60-48

Heavily armoured Vikings faced against a longer line of less armoured Croatians and moved sideways to a better defensive positions on a hill, then held firmly for every tile, but the rest of the longer Croatian line enveloped them and bitter fighting took place until the Vikings finally broke. Close fight and a good game.

We are just over half way through the season and things are starting to shape up so i thought i would post the half way standings. I will be posting updates now more frequently. Please keep the games going and those who are behind (especially those who are yet to post a result) please can you make sure that your games are completed in time. All challenges should have been posted by the end of February.

As ever please let me know if there are any mistakes.

Bagatrix defeated Frederic02 by a score of 40-5, given the massive rough hill in the middle it was a tough go for the Andalusian army
Thanks for the game

[Triarii]

Div B

Triarii German 933-1049AD with Polish 966-1057AD allies
defeats
Morat French 888-1049 with Viking 900- allies

42-17

Infantry faced off against infantry against a lake with French cavalry facing off German cavalry and some spears on the open flank. An initial missile exchange cost the French & Vikings their missile troops but despite that their Housecarls and spears were gaining the upper hand. Fortunately for the Germans the spears amongst their cavalry proved decisive and allowed the French infantry line to be flanked while still engaged.
Thanks to Morat for another good game.

[Nosferatu]

Division 3
Nosferatu [Croatian] defeats Darkwater247 [Frankish+Bretons] 62-48

A large stream seperated the two sides down the middle, but traveled south near the Croatian right, so the Croatians took the opportunity to cross with half of the army as soon as possible, only to be met by a Frankish cavalry ambush from a nearby forest. Having fought off the ambush, they managed to defeat part of the Frankish force then the rest of their enemy was surrounded, but fought bitterly to the end. Good game to my opponent, thanks.


That concludes my first championship outing, happy to report being undefeated (8 wins and 1 draw), despite fears of being moved up to division 3 on my first outing. It was not a one-sided affair, only two battles ended at the 40 point mark so all my opponents put up a stiff fight.

[DIVM]

Division C

DIVM [Armenians + Byzantines] defeats Darkwater247 [Frankish+Bretons].

Result: 49-24

Right flank of the armenian infantry + cavalray hit hard and fast, while the center held against the Frankish troops. Good game from Darkwater247, that had to move quickly his right flank, and would my attack have taken any longer, the result could've been very different.
