@Wellsonian ...challenge is up. PW=FGM1
After a brutal fight, wellsonian (in the style of Julius Caesar, I love using third person) defeated the usurper @Jolly Olly, 65-40. He won the Cav fight, wellsonian won the infantry fight. Well played by Jolly.
Hell, I didn't win either the infantry, calvary or archery fights as Rico rolled me up like a ditchweed doobie. Put me back in the rotation, you know, the punching bag slot...

Good game! You pretty much steamrolled me with your infantry. I just could not win a fight anywhere along the line.
Put me back in the rotation as well. For now I retreat again to the east and work to rebuild my army.
You should see what the digital league is doing to me this season. Ooooooof!!
Too bad you don't live closer, we could commiserate over a couple of brewski's...
@Josey Wales Do you ever notice that the end game stats rarely ever resemble the battle just fought? I mean that was a nail biter that had me nervous every time I opened a new turn.
The stats? Made it look like a walk over!? WTF? GG JW. TY.
So, @Rico, my reward for letting JW raise my blood pressure to a near fatal level is I now get to play Olaf?
Am I a lucky guy, or what?

Just see I forgot to post an announcement here -- I am shutting down this tourney to focus on the two new FOG2 Campaigns: RECONQUISTA and CRESCENT RISING.
Thanks to all the participants -- it was a fun competition and the concept did work pretty well.

@mTk it was close indeed but I felt you had me beat a few turns back when I counted all of your cavalry still in tact. I thought that if you could bring them to heel and organise them then it was all over for me.
It actually turned out that the coup de grace was delivered by your infantry. Good game and yes, a real nail biter.
It looks though as if our dreams of becoming emperor will not materialise as the Empire has now fallen!

I think with the final results -- the victor holding the field gets all his routed units back ... while the losing side gets theirs run down by pursuing cavalry... most casualties in these battles happened when one side breaks and starts to run...
Whew! Dodged a bullet there, huh?
