David Phillips (left) with Dynastic Bedouin, plays Jared Lynn with the only Samurai army to make an appearance at this tournament.	Bedouin & Khurasani cavalry line up opposite Jared's warrior monks. The game was indecisive, ending 6-4 to the Bedouin.
Ian Baxendale with Ottomans, plays Bob Ritchie with Medieval Portugese.	Ottoman sipahis Cv(S) backed up by their "prety in pink" general. Obviously some evil scheme to distract the enemy!
Jared Lynn (left) with Samurai, plays Jason Gray using South Welsh. A battle between two bow armies. The Welsh prevailed 9-1.	A close up of Jared's mounted Samurai. While the Welsh relied heavily on bow, the Wb(F) would have been pretty fearsome.
Chris Webber (left) with Thracians, plays John McCartney using Sicilians. John was the only opponent to force a result out of the Thracians during the tournament.	Sicilian knights being flanked by Thracians cavalry while in combat with peltasts to their front. The Thracian army was only routed after losing their CinC to bow fire.
Rob Puntin with Med. Germans, anchors his right flank on the hill, against Martin "Light Horseman" Ossa with Lithuanians.	Martin's Teutonic ally tries to out-stare their German counterparts opposite. The game ended a 6-4 draw for the Lithuanians.
Richard Stubbs with Christian Nubian, plays an LoA colleague, Parshia Lee-Stecum using Khazars.	The crux of the battle, Khazar Cv(S) charge into Nubian Wb(F). It was all down hill for Nubians after this. The Khazars roll them 10-0.
Stuart Gibon with Chin Chinese takes on Peter Ware with Central Asian City State [using the Kn(F) option.]	A close up of Stuart's Chin Kn(O) war chariots in all there glory.
Stephen Hopkins using Ugaritics against Scott Nicholas, also with Ugaritics. Steve lost the battle on his left flank (bott right).	Both Ugaritic armies deployed blocks of Bw(I) backed up with Blades.
Tim Montgomery with Moldavian, plays Russell Smith using Beja. The Beja were a popular choice with three in use at this event.	Russell's colorful Cm(S) make an impetuous attack across the board. They must have faired well, the Beja finished 8-2.
