Round 2
Vandals :Togan Alper 6 banners won:8 blocks lost
Byzantine : Azzy 0 banners won; 11 blocks lost.

The Vandals made sure from the start to take the hill and not to let the Byzantine to climb up the steep slopes.That Solomon dies in the early stages of the struggle by distant shooting didalso help the Vandals. Seing that the Byzn. were commandless, they puıshe hartd with Mounted charges thru the center and managed to get the two additional kills on  a very short game that lasted may be 4 or 5 rounds.

Thanks azzy for being such a great sport and gentlemen. I am looking forward to play again with him in the coming C&C Tournaments. Ezzy welcome to the C&C
crowd.

 

I've seen the log file. Kudos to Togan for offering to restart the game after Azzy had lost his leader in the very first shot of the game. This was a display of true sportsmanship. Also, kudos to Azzy for refusing it. He showed his character. Guys, this is the way I like to see games played! To me, you both won.

Round 5
Ostrogoths : Togan Alper 6 banners won : 19 blocks lost

A final coordinatred attack using a 1 power heavy cav together with Totilas perfect unit was enough to gain the final banner.

This was a fast one that lasted only 40 minutes or so.


  

Round 3
Decimum Final Phase
Vandals: gotigerssc 2 banners won; 25 blocks lost
Byzantine: John of York 5 banners won; 15 blocks lost

There was a bit of action on the flanks to start and to end the game. But most of the action took place in the center. After an early Vandal move on my right I launched an Isp Action Mounted Charge in the center which killed off a MC and wounded two other units. The Vandals got a kill on a HBC. But soon I had finished off a HC or the loss of only a MC. My 2 block SHBC was lucky to have 2 flags rolled against it to escape a 2nd 4d attack. I then used CRY HAVOC (3 MC and a SHBC) to cutoff one MC on the hills and eliminated it along with another MC - both of which suffered hits in the prior turn on my BBs. The Vandals then hit my right and caused a few losses but my FOOT ONSLAUGHT cutoff a 2 block LC and it went down to a MI after surviving a 5d HI attack.

Justin did the best he could but them there Vandals sure are on the short end of the sword.

NOTE: I loaded the most recent Vassal version and module but Travis was using an earlier version. So a bit of an issue there. We played around it. I started a log file and all seemed well till I went to load it and an on screen prompt showed that the file could not be read. So there is no log file but i did record the results after the match.

Thank g1ul10 and toganalper for warm words))) Will see u later and struggle on honest battles!!

Round 3
Vandal : ale.mit, 1 banners won: 21 blocks lost
Byzantine : azzy, 5 banners won: 10 blocks lost

The first few turns are quiet, with my Vadals trying to regroup.
The Byzantines advance and take control of the hills in the middle of the field with a LC and MC.
I launch a not so smart Mounted Charge to take the hill back and possibly eliminate the LC: the charge is doomed to fail.
Azzy quickly encircles  my disorganized attack force and take it down in a couple of turn (3 banners).
I regroup and retreat preparing for the incoming impact of the HBC, I inflict significant damage to Solomon, but the Byzantines are inspired by their leaders and take down two weary vandal cavalry units (the last 2 banners).

Thanks to azzy for his patience about my initial total confusion about cavalry and hill terrain
And thanks to Giulio for his assistance about the rules!

 

 

Round 2
Vandal : ale.mit, 3 banners won: 25 blocks lost
Byzantine : giulio, 6 banners won: 13 blocks lost

Some lazy maneuvering in the center for the control of the group of hills until a Byzantine mounted charge on the left accelerates the course of events. The Vandal is stronger in the center and manages to eliminate Solomon, but the Byzantine force on the left rapidly collect the necessary medals.

 

Round 2 - 011 Decimum (533 AD) Phase 2

mk20336 (Vandals) 6 banners, 16 blocks lost
Angoryan (Byzantine) 1 banners, 13 blocks lost

Interesting scenario, with hills in center playign a major role. We both had pretty poor cards at the beginnign but tons of scouts llowed us to build a hand. My Vandals started the attack (once they occupied hills) getting one LBC. The counter attack of Byzantines was indecisive - just as my another attack. When my full strenght, 4-block HC was killed in one roll I thought it is the end. But no, dice was tricky for both of us and in the end Vandals won, killing just 3 Roman units and occupying hills. Thanks to Angoryan for great game and quick response to my offer to play.

Round 4
Tricamarum 533 AD
Togan Alper(vandals) 4 banners ; 27 blocks lost
Kandras78 (bynz) 6 banners; 21 blokcs lost

The battle started in the center the vandals attacked early to evade all the crossing med cav. Several first strike and Ambush cards were excahanged and the Byzantine heavy cav vwas very succesfull in finishing up the bussines. That the Vandals lost their leader very ewarly in the game did not help the vandals to get organized. At the end the Vandals also managed to kill one of the many Bynz. leaders to at least close the score. In the final round the Byzn played a very succesful  Fire and Close card to finish the game. If on the final die roll of the round the Bynz did not manage to kill the heavy cav, the Vandals were perfectly positioned with 4 units in cloes combat and with a clash of shields card in hand to potentailly finish potentailly as a victory for either side.

Very nice scenario to play.

  Togan Alper(vandals) 4 banners ; 27 blocks lost

 

Round 5
Ostrogoth : ale.mit, 4 banners won: 29 blocks lost
Byzantine : Kandras78, 6 banners won: 20 blocks lost

After a couple of turns of preparation, I unleashed my cavalry against the byzantine infantry in the center section.Kandras78 responds with his cavalry (super heavy and med) and my troops evade managing to survive the blow under the command of Teia.I launch a cavalry charge on opposite side, guided by Totila, which is soon after surrounded by infantry (foot onslaught): Totila dies, but his heavy cavalry deals a lot of damage to all surrounding units but a stubborn med warrior unit. Then the battle is all in the center section. Kandras tenaciously attacks with his infantry, my weary cavalry evades, but in the end the Byzantines seize the victory.
