[harveylh]

Division 1

harveylh Indian (Muslim) 1470–1500 AD defeats ericdoman1 Catalan Company 1380, 60-55

On a battlefield with rough going on both flanks and scattered woods, a horde of Catalan light infantry and light horse effectively harassed the Muslim Indians. Then the Almughavars defeated the Indian right flank. After being behind most of the game, combats went better for the Indians on their left flank and they managed a successful counterattack on the right flank. Indian elephants were the difference against the Almughavars. Close game that could have gone either way. Good game, Eric.

Thanks for the game

[Anicydeer533]

AnIcyDeer533 (England (Yorkist) 1486-1497) defeated Asterix_von_TWC (Order of St.John 1400-1449)

Score: 17-44

A well fought battle, met with equally great banter. The battle began with a long staring contest before the English pushed forward against the Order's battle line. The English Left of Kerns and Longbow men were the first to meet the Order Archers. Followed by the Knights and Pikes of the Center and the Right's Bills and Bows. But the Order had a trick, as the Knights of Saint John arrived, their noble men rounding a hill at the exposed right flank. Unfortunately it could not arrive in time to pressure the flank as forces diverted slowed them down enough for the center and right to break the enemy lines, winning the battle. English lay slain, but the blood of the Maltese will water the fields this day. Though it will be remembered how the English shook but held firm when the Knights of Saint John Arrived!

anderarcos11 Ottoman Turkish 1362-1419 AD beat mcfcivo Mamluk Egyptian 1490-1500, 43 to 12. Score is 93 to 12

[CheAhn]

Division 1

CheAhn Poles defeats markleslie Venetian, 77-43

Much closer than the final score. In the balance for much of the way. Lots of difficult terrain, not so good for either of us but a unit of Lithuanian irregular foot held a crucial rough square atop a steep hill that helped the Poles on either side to prevail. Good game. Cheers

[mberisso]

Division 4

mberisso (Polish 1455-1500 with Lithuanian 1455-1500) defeats gort7078 (German Imperial 1488-1500) 47-8

the result was the addition of unlucky dice for the Imperial and good charges for the Polish. Thanks Don for a good game!

Hi Nik

Just wondering was the score 60 - 43 and so with the +60 = 77 - 43

or

77 - 43 and so with + 60 = 94 - 43

[markleslie]

or
77 - 43 and so with + 60 = 94 - 43

No, no it wasn't.

There was a gawd awful mess of cohesion drops and impetus horsemen crazily charging all over the place. One of those FOG specials you'd be familiar with since we had one like it not that long ago.

77-43.

It's always a thrill to be on the receiving end of another Medieval arse slapping.

Yes major carnage in the final turn. Love it

[CheAhn]

Division 1

CheAhn Poles defeats ericdoman1 Catalan, 64-59

Can it get any closer than this! Great open game. Thanks Eric, Cheers.

[harveylh]

Division 1

harveylh Indian (Muslim) 1470–1500 AD defeats markleslie Venetian 1440-1500 AD, 62-40

Tough game and battle closer than the score indicates. The Venetian dismounted mercenary men-at-arms broke the Indian center and if the Indian lancers and elephants had not broken the Venetian flank when they did and had been delayed another turn or two, the battle would have had a different outcome.

Thanks for the game

[Nosy_Rat]

Division 1

Nosy_Rat (Swiss 1476-1477) defeats markleslie (Venetian 1440-1500 AD) 44-13

Venetian cavalry quickly encircled the Swiss and destroyed all the support elements, but the foot men-at-arms were unable to fight off the main pike formation and were all but routed.

Thanks for the game!

[JacobusRobertus]

Division 4

JocobusRobertus Ilkhanid Mongol defeated bebold Navarrese 1395-1402 42:5

Left flanking attack by the Mongols drove off Navarresse cavalry and defeated some of the infantry, achieving victory just as they were running out of arrows and facing the most heavily armoured units.

Thanks for the game bebold - it ended faster than I had been expecting.

DIvision 4

mberisso (Polish 1455-1500 with Lithuanian 1455-1500) defeats Anicydeer533 (English (Yorkist) 1486-1497 AD) 67-56%

A close game that could end in any other way. Thanks Anicydeer for a great battle!
