unai98 ( Pyrrhic 280-275) defeats angusosborne (Thracian (Getai) 279BC-46AD with Greek 227-146 Allies) 20 - 47

a bad map for the Thracians and a very lucky rolls for the men of Epirus made so the pikes shattered the warbands of the thracians wining the battle.

tmac11 ... Pyrrhic 280-275 with Samnite 355-272BC Allies defeated Morat ... German Foot tribes 125BC-259AD with Gallic 300-101 allies 40 - 6

The German right suffered a catastrophic double drop leaving the flank of the line exposed while the Pyrrhic cavalry fought a delaying action on the left of the line the exposed flanks of the warband were exploited to the full by the Pyrrhic infantry.

GG thanks

Does anything need to be done if one had already previously installed this mod? Does it update itself when you load it in the game? Does the current version need to be deleted and the new version downloaded again? Thanks.

You will need to install a new version of the mod - if and only if - you want/need to play against the later Spartan armies that use pikes and stuff as one of the Silk Road factions. If you're one of the vanilla factions, the normal game works fine. This is only an issue if you're a China army, for example, and need to play against Sparta 221BC.

Attention Div C members:

Anicydeer533 has had to withdraw due to his computer dying and his uncertainty of how soon he will be able to replace it. Thus, you will all have one less match this season, 8 games instead of the usual 9.

Karvon

Right. I have the Spartan 221 BC army. This helps me understand what I need to do in order to play my Chinese opponents. Thank you.

Div D

Janohito using Assyrians with Egyptian Allies defeated ZeCid who chose Macedonians with Greek allies. Final score 45-17.

Macedonians using their cavalry superiority tried flanking maneuvers on both flanks, but due to a rough terrain hill on their left flank, flanking cavalry got separated from center which allowed more numerous Assyrians troops to outflank Macedonian center. With a bit of luck on Assyrian side, they managed to hold the onslaught of Macedonian pikes and just roll the center. All the while Macedonian cavalry got bogged down in fighting on the flanks. In the end, routing all the pikes except for a single veteran unit proved to be enough for Assyrians to claim victory.

Div A

Rosedelio (Qin) defeats Stones1985 (Spartan) 60-49

The Spartan lights swarm protected most of their hoplites as they approached. However, there was enough of a gap for the Spartan left for some shooting and flanking to come in. The Qin army was no match for the Spartans in combat, but sheer numbers of non-lights won out in the end.
