[cnzmur]

Division 3

cnzmur (Egyptian 1276-1201) defeats Indibil (Philistine 800-600 w Egyptian 945-720) 50-5

And it happened in those days that Pharoah king of Egypt went up against the Philistines, and Sidqa king of Gaza and Padi king of Gath went up against him to the valley of Elah, and the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Egypt stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.

And Pharoah had with him many men skilled in shooting the bow, so that the army of Egypt hillcamped for days and shot up the Philistines who crossed the brook with great sportsmanship and courage (being mighty men of great valour of course), and there was wailing and gnashing of teeth...

Division 2

phlewis Indian Rajput defeated gort7078 Magyars 26% vs 52%.

The Magyars put up a valiant defense, but they didn't have an answer to the combination of elephants and the firepower of the Indian bowmen. The Rajput lancers hemmed the Magyars in front of the infantry and elephants as well as covering the flanks. The Magyar light cavalry did a great job of outflanking and harassing the Indians. They picked apart my right flank and were starting to cause significant damage to the Indian center by the end of the battle.

[heidipie]

heidipie irish beat indibl byzantines 63 54

a stream down the middle and rough ground to the north otherwise wide open plain

irish KERNS held the rough ground and protected their northern flank, but took huge lossed from Byz horsse

while their foot in the center closed with the byz foot and eventually after a bloody flight crushed them

while on the right flank to the south , the stream prevented the cataphracts from using their strength and then the more numberous irish swarmed them .... probaly the edge the irish won on

GG COULD HAVE GONE EITHER WAY

[principesromanes]

Classical Division C

principesromanes (Hebrew 681-586 BC with Kushite Egyptian 727-656 BC allies) defeats rob123 (Gallic 300-101 BC with Samnite 355-272 BC allies) 47-15

The armies met in the hills, with some lower, gentler (only one square of rough) hills in the centre and steep, foreboding hills on the flanks (covered in rough and rough slopes). The Hebrew army lined up with chariots backed by archers in the centre and a few units on the flanks. The Gallic army was comprised primarily of close order warbands with some Samnite foot and loose order warbands on the flank. The cavalry, having nowhere to go, also deployed in the centre.

Unfortunately, the warbands couldn't make any headway against the chariots. Mind you, the warbands also didn't really care about the Hebrew arrows. The cavalry tried to push when one chariot disrupted on a fallback but unfortunately for the Gauls, the chariot rallied and the cavalry was quickly riddled with arrows. Meanwhile, the loose order warbands and Samnite foot were able to press on the flanks. The Hebrew army was able to redeploy to effectively fend off one flank attack while the other one delayed long enough to give the Hebrew army a victory.

This was a very difficult matchup for the Samnites, with the narrow battlefield and superior number of Hebrew units able to operate in the rough only making it worse. Well played.

[cnzmur]

Division C

cnzmur (Scots-Irish) defeats Asterix_von_TWC (Frankish) 66-52

I was behind in a very chaotic situation against the better Frankish warbands, then got lucky with some fragged units holding on long enough for a flank, and after that I was able to pull ahead and use my numbers.

Division 2
ulysisgrunt (Low Countries) defeated mcfivo (Aragonese) 60-35

[Nosferatu]

Division B

Captain Savage Pyrrhic 280-275 with Samnite allies defeats frederico02 Carthaginian (Hannibal in Italy) 216 with Samnite allies.

64:56

Nicely balanced set up. Some hills covered with a rough covered plateau on the right wing. A flat plain in the centre dominated by a low hill with scattered rough hills on the left. The Samnite allies from both sides took to the hills and there was a massive battle of the mediums on the right flank. I thought I had the better of it until my General died leading the first charge across the plateau. All was not lost though as I had enough troops on hand to sneak around the flank of the Carthaginian veteran spears. Attacked on all sides they eventually succumbed tot he phalanxes and Samnites. The rest of the centre was the phalanxes vs imitation legionaries and accompanying mediums. My elephant - rather then swinging the battle gave up after a few rounds and ran for the hills. The cavalry battle on the left wing was very chaotic. The Carthaginians had the better of it but failed to keep the Pyrrhic cavalry off their rear. Then again some of the Carthaginian cavalry got into the back of the Pyrrhic line. The score reflects the even balance of the battle and I suspect the only thing to separate the two armies were the inability of two Carthaginian Samnite units being unable to re-join the battle at the centre soon enough to influence the final skirmishes. The light units played an important part and both sides had they moments of glory.

That's my last battle in the Classical Division. Thanks to all my opponents. That was a lot of fun and it seems I have remembered most of the rules.

Just one correction: your opponent was Nosferatu, the rest of the post is accurate

[heidipie]
