[Cherebuschka]

Division B

Cherebuschka leading the Picts with Scots-Irish allies defeat Asterix_von_TWC at the head of the Frankish and Viking army 42-8

The battle was fought in the lowlands near the sea. The two armies deployed on both sides of a large stream. There were also forests and marshes, a perfect ground for the picts. But the Franks fearing nothing choose to fight here despite the heavy ground. The battle was very head on. Before entering the fray the picts washed their feet in the stream, they hurled javelins, stones, arrows and even haggis at the franks (as per the frankish chronicles, we didn't write this). Trying to help their infantry, the noble frankish cavalry tried to charge but found themselves bog down in the marshes and despite their best efforts they were mostly pushed back and greatly disordered. Some got through but it was far too late and the battle was over.

Thanks again for the battle and the exchange Asterix !

[Nijis]

Div A

Nijis (Arab Abbasid) defeats Stones1985 (ArabConquest) 61-37.

The Abbasids' Dailami infantry resisted the push of the enemy's disciplined veteran spear long enough for an encircling force of armored lancers to come to the rescue.

Good dice in the infantry slog stage of the game seems to have decided the outcome.

[Aetius39]

Division A

Aetius (Byzantines) defeats Nijis (Arabs) 66-44


Tough battle where mid-way it seemed the Arabs had the upper hand. Luckily for the Byzantines a few timely breaks of enemy units and some of theirs holding won the day. GG!

[Nosferatu]

Nosferatu (Croatian) defeats Rob123 (Andalusian+Navarese) with 45:10

A medium patch of rough ground in the middle prevented a full open clash in the center. Instead the main battle was a cavalry fight on both flanks, with the infantry from the center joining in diagonally. While the Croatian right overwhelmed their opponents, the left was almost defeated by the Andalusian cavalry, but a few winning units ran off in pursuit, allowing the Croatians to win that flank as well.

[Nosferatu]

Nosferatu (Croatian) wins against frederic02 (Indian Rajput) 60:48

The terrain and army setups degenerated the battle into three separate independent fights. Croatians won their left flank and center, but were badly mauled on the right by Indians using elephants and rough terrain expertly. When the rest of the Croatian force moved to the right, the fight got even more brutal and ended just 3 turns before the timer ran out, leaving about 3000 dead and wounded on both sides and another 3000 Indians that were captured or routed.

[Nijis]

Div A

Nijis (Abbasid Arab) defeats batesmotel (Khorasanian) 52-27.

A deep stream separated the two sides. The Khorasanian hillmen charged bravely across it, but were slightly disordered when brushing aside the Abbasid skirmishers, and fortune frowned upon them in the ensuing battle with the Arab infantry. The caliphate's counterattack ran into trouble on the right, and the Khorasanians showed signs of making a comeback, but in the end their initial losses were too great to hold back the Abbasids.

Division A

markleslie Auxumite 100-970 AD with Beja 200-849 AD allies defeats batesmotel Khurasanian 821-1003 AD with Dailami 928-1055 AD 56-30.

Unfortunately forgot to get a start screen shot.

Everything got scattered to hell in the end because it degenerated to foot chasing mounted around trying to get those last few points to end it.

The Dailami came close to smashing my line in one go and my Elephants and camels were touched up severly by horse bows but, in the end, the Uruk-hai and Wargs won on our left and piled into the centre.

Salute!
