Div B

Two results

Triarii Carthaginian (Hannibal in Africa) 202BC w Numidian allies defeats oscarius Spartan 221-146BC w Roman allies score 50-9

And

Triarii Carthaginian (Hannibal in Africa) 202BC w Numidian allies defeats random27 Parthian 250BC-225AD w Seleucid 166-125BC allies score 53-28

In the first game Spartan pikes were tangled up trying to thread through patches of rough terrain, populated with LI and good MI, long enough for the Spartan right flank to be overwhelmed by elephants and superior cavalry.

In the second a billiard table map allowed Numidian LC to dance about holding up a strong Parthian right but at high cost while veteran Italians and veteran Libyan spears supported by elephants eventually overwhelmed the Parthian left.
Thanks to my opponents for two great games.

Division D

Jorgito78 Roman 105-25BC w Bithynian 297-74BC allies
defeats:

Vakarr Thracian (Gatae) 279BC-46AD w Greek 227-146BC allies

Result: 42 - 6

Thracian masses of aggressive, yet not disciplined, warriors proved to be no match for Roman Legionaire's superior training and discipline. Once again, Roman Legions win the day for the glory of Rome.

Div 4

Alexmike1 Parthian 250BC-225AD w Seleucid 166-125BC allies beat SawyerK Antigonid 320-301BC w Greek 460-281BC allies 65-26

The Antigonids deployed in a dense block mostly on their own extreme left. This meant a fair bit of redeploying was needed by the Parthians. The Parthian horse archers eventually forced the enemy to move forth from their positions. At this point the cataphracts and their Seleucid allies managed to get the better of the melee.

Thanks for an interesting (and fast paced) game.

Division 4 result
RussellGardener1964 German (Imperial) beat Meroka37 Catalan 1050-1154 by 44-0

I was able to hold the high ground on my left, my opponent charged me at a height disadvantage. On the right flank I was able to charge with knights at right angles to his line. He adjusted to face my charge, but by moving up my centre the hammer and anvil made short work of his infantry.

Kind regards

Division 3

Hrik56 Palmyrans had a close drawn battle against CaptainPunka's Caledonians. The result was 50% to 45%, with the Caledonians securing a 5pt lead at the end, perhaps at least partly by chasing some of my light cavalry off map. This started out with the Caledonian light infantry and chariots gaining an initial advantage against my own light troops on one flank, but elsewhere I managed to even things out and it proved a very close and enjoyable fight.

So Palmyrans 50%
Caledonians 45%

Division 3

Jtrillodmp (French 1484-1500) defeated hrik56 (Swiss 1491-1500) 63-14

The French used their knights to stop the Swiss pikemen and took advantage of the disorganisation of the enemy units in the attack or by the shooting of the light units to charge from various points, deciding the victory.

Thanks for the battle, hrik56!

Division 3

gfs26 [Byzantines 988-1041]
defeats
mh5064 [GERMAN 933-1049]

final score : 60-42

The battle was fought on mainly flat land... the more flexible Byzantines managed to defeat German on their right wing (a cavalry battle), while holding a bit more in the other cavalry battle on the other flank. In the centre, the slight numerical advantage, the excellent Varangian guard, and Skutatoi supporting troops, managed to defeat German strong infantry, also unlucky with some advances followed by cavalry flank attacks. In any case, in the last part of the battle, in an apparently lost situation, the remainig german forces were able to inflict lot of casualties and the final score was only a marginal win.
