ChariCon: Final results after fournd 4 - posted by Neil Williamson, 19 February 2023

The final round of ChariCon had some very interesting games.

Alastair (Burgundy 450ap) was harrased by skirmishing style tactics from Paul's Persians.

A fascinating game to watch and the Burgundian's were only 1me of being disheartened after losing a general in bound 2.

14 - 11 to Alastair

The two Romans slugged it out. Wayne finally had his large army and David finally had his small army. Wayne couldn't repeat his success with the small version and got beaten by selected local counter attacks at key points.

25 - 0 to David

Craig (Scots 450ap) faced Graham's Samnites who were well entrenched behind obstacles and in a wood. The Scots battered themselves against the fortifications. Meanwhile, the sneaky Samnites, moved some hidden cavalry into the back field and headed straight for the Scottish baggage.

25 - 0 to Graham

Final results

Wayne 68 (tuft winner)

Graham 63

Alastair 60

David 48

Paul 32

Craig 29

Congratulations go to Wayne. He had a well thought out army list.

I would like to thank all the players for approaching the tournament in a positive spirit and willing to try something a bit different. All players were very positive of the different scoring system.

I will post some analysis of the event in a later post.

An important river crossing that the Burgundians could not get across. It was defended by 4 Bw(i) with some enfilading fire from some Bw(x).
