tmac11 ... Pyrrhic 280-275 with Samnite 355-272BC Allies defeated wellsonian ... Roman 105-25 with Numidian/Moorish Allies 42 - 15

Pyrrhic army took up position on a hill and the Romans advanced to contact, however 3 units of samnite foot were able to flank the Roman right and systematically work their way along the line while the pikes kept the Romans busy in the centre.

As the score suggests, it really could have gone either way until the final turn, and I certainly had my share of luck. Thanks to mh5064 for one of the best battles I've been involved in.

markleslie ... Jewish 64BC-6AD with Roman 105-25 Allies defeats carpenkm ... Spartan 221-146 with Roman Allies 45-15.

The Spartans were critically short of mounted with unsecured flanks that I immediately moved to exploit but in the end, before they could make themselves felt, several adverse results along the fighting line led to an unrecoverable collapse.

Thanks to my opponents and the organizers for making this a challenging, if not always painless, event.
SALUTE!

[Questar17]

Division A

Questar17 Burgundian 1471-1477 AD feat English (Continental) 1475 AD allies beats SpeedyCM German (City NW) 1488-1500 AD + Low Countries 1488-1500 AD allies. 63:34

At deployment both armies front was restricted by woods on our side and a river from another. Cause my infantry is worse in melee, i decided to avoid frontal battle in narrow battlefield, and move by parts archers and longbowmen with a support of few heavy infantry to a hill placed after the woods at my flank. Figuring out that on the edge of the map there are a few opponent's troops i added to these forces two knights and started to move the forces forward reaching an opponent flank covered by the woods. So it was excelent position when my archers could reach with arrows opponents forces while be protected by knights and heavy infantry. Once arrows couldn't reach opponents forces, i decided to start to move from other flanks forward. There opponents pikes were excelent at one vs one battles, so SpeedyCM shortened points difference. At the end of the battle my troops moved from the opponents woods into the centre, having a numerical advantage could break opponents pikes after a long melee.

So it was my last tournament game. Honestly my army was quite weak vs powerful pikes (swiss, landsnekht). It is very fair that longbowmen cost has been decreased to 57 p at last DLC.

thx for the game

edb1815 (Milanese 1440-1500) defeats Vadim84 (German City N & W 1488-1500 AD with Low Countries Allies 1488 - 1500 AD)

61%-52%

A very close game and well played by Vadim84. The battle was fought across a stream with a patch of rough ground for crossbowmen to deploy in. The Milanese infantry tried to hold up the German Landsknechts while their knights crashed a flank. The Milanese knights defeated their opposition and came in just in time as the center was collapsing. Honors go to some dismounted knights in the center who broke through and attacked the German crossbowmen in the open and the brave crossbowmen who hit pikes in the flank.

51% - 13%

Well played to my opponent who had no rough terrain for his bowmen. This was a battle of 2 halves. The first was a lot of maneuvering in the battlelines as the Bohemian cavalry tried to avoid the wall of 6 Elephants (could have been more!), while the elephants maneuvered accordingly. A race for favorable match up as the lines closed. The second half was a flurry of arrows and a quick rush to contact by the Bohemians to avoid the arrows. Several cavalry, infantry and a war wagon held the left flank and the knights on the right flank turned in to hit Indian infantry before being overwhelmed by elephants. The Indian medium infantry could not stand up to the more heavily armed opposition and a final turn of cascading routes in the center saw the army morale collapse. I was certainly helped by a number of double impact drops on the medium foot.

Both armies stood at the tropical deserts with the crusaders traversing on high ground but the battle was to be forward. The palm jungles and broken earth was to be the battle line, as both armies used the cover to sling arrows, and a bloody lock of horns ensued. The battle raged, until it was some ragged knights able to get the flanks. Both armies were valiant, GG wzfcns!

A proper sea saw battle with hidden cav appearing on the Palmyran flanks. Luckily, enough roman cav survived allowing the ever efficient Roman legions to do their stuff. Great battle

This is a result from back in July - I cannot see it in the record.

defeats
mcfcivo Andalusian 756 - 1049AD Allies - Spanish 900-1049AD

46-14

A blocking marsh and steep hill allowed a smaller defensive spear and archer contingent to hold up the Andalusian cabalry while Armoured lancers on horse and on foot outnumbered and broke the Andalusian left and centre.

Was sure I had posted this back in July but could not see it while trawling the posts.

The venetians stood arrayed with bombards drawn and light guns at the ready..but the crusaders before them split hard in their respective flanks, avoiding the cannons to the face and pressed forward. It was the greater numbers held by the crusaders that won the day, gg ulysisgrunt!

[Vadim84]

Div B

Vadim 84 (German NW with Dutch all.) won against Triari (Danes with feodal German) 46-16

Triarii got very unlucky right from the start, my artillery was abnormally efficient and the melee wasn't any better. The dice won that one, I hope that our next encounter will be more balanced in terms of luck. Really hard to analyze anything this time.

Thanks for the game
