[Stones1985]

Division A

Stones1985 (Parthian with Seleucid Allies) beat Karvon (Cimmerian with Thracian Allies) by a score of 53 to 26.

The numerous Cimmerian horse were difficult to get hold of but eventually my pike and cataphracts pinned them down and enabled my lighter troops to outshoot them. Good game. Thanks.

Division A

Stones1985 (Parthian with Seleucid Allies) beat Klayeckles (Pergamene with Greek Allies) by a score of 45 to 13.

The Parthians light troops proved a real menace forcing the Pergamene/Greek troops to attack a difficult position where the terrain my heavier troops were on was advantageous. Good game. Thanks.

[Asterix_von_TWC]

Hi - please help. I tasked a game to Skritch on 6.1.2025. After three reminders I contacted Karvon. He says he is not the coordinator for this group to issue the 1 week warning? Who is? I have to travel next week why I tried to finish all my games early.

Div C

alexmike1 Seleucid 166-125 + Parthian 250 BC - 225 AD allies beat SawyerK Carthage Hannibal in Italy 216 to 203 BC 42-15

Fun game with a good turn rate.

The Punic army stood in a strong defensive position, but their lights and cavalry struggled to deal with the numbers and firepower of their opposites. The African vets stood off against the Seleucid cataphracts until the last couple of turns. The Carthaginians tried a brave, late game sally from the hill, but were unable to turn the tide.

[Drudgep]

Div D Drudgep's Carthaginians defeat Asterix's Lysimachid 320-281 + Thracian (Hellenisitic) 350-281 allies by a final score of 63-50.

It was a very close wild game that came down to the rough terrain in which the Carthaginians fought admirably. Thanks for the game!

Morat Carthaginian (Hannibal in Italy) 216-203 + Samnite 355-272 allies defeated Bodhran Jewish 167-164: 44-13

Thanks to Bodhran for a game where all the luck went the Carthaginian way.

alexmike1 Seleucid 166-125 + Parthian 250 BC - 225 AD allies beat rockmanbob123 Bosporan 84 BC - 10 AD + Sarmatian 350 BC - 24 AD allies 44-12

The legion of pseudo-Romans fielded by the Bosporans took a while to reach the main battle. This left the Sarmatian lancers facing the heavier Parthians and supporting Seleucid infantry.

defeated

Rockmanbob123 and his Bosporan 84 BC-10 AD army with Sarmatian ally

Thanks for the game

[principesromanes]

Division B

principesromanes (Armenian (Tigranes) 83-69 BC with Pontic 84-47 BC allies) defeats Bodhran (Jewish 167-164 BC) 61-51

The Jewish and Armenian armies faced off by the coast (water blocking one side of the map) on opposite hills separated by a shallow river. Seeing a bunch of enclosures and a forest, the Armenians decided to leave their cavalry at home and brought a whole bunch of irregular foot. Meanwhile, the Hebrew army massed behind their zealots and skirmishers for a powerful charge.

The Armenian lights got the better of the initial engagement, although the enthusiastic participation of the Armenian lancers resulted in them exposing their rear to a line of zealots. Would not recommend. Nonetheless, the victorious Armenian lights – supported by a few massed bowmen – forced the lightly protected Jewish army to make some less than idea charges. Nonetheless, it was a very messy melee and we were both surprisingly lucky in avoiding chain disruptions. The Jewish infantry took out the cataphracts surprisingly quickly. In the end, it was probably the victorious Armenian lights that provided the crucial edge.

A single Jewish rally in the last turn and I honestly think I would have lost. Thanks for an incredibly close game.
