Match 1
MANU vs GCA [White Elk Fort] 1-2
Round 1
The opening siege at White Elk Fort saw MANU on the offensive and GCA defending. Right from the start, MANU massed their units at the right flank, ready for a full-force push. But GCA unleashed a relentless bombardment with mortars, forcing MANU to feint right and rotate left. Midway through, MANU split their units and launched a surprise dual-pronged assault on Point A. GCA held the line but took heavy losses. As MANU regrouped for another strike on the right, GCA unexpectedly sent part of their force to counter-push that very route—only to run headfirst into MANU’s main army already on the wall. Caught off-guard, GCA couldn’t retreat in time. Under heavy artillery cover, MANU charged in again. GCA, already outnumbered, couldn’t hold Point A. Unit count dropped sharply, and their elite troops were wiped. GCA tried deploying Village Watchmen to counter the Dagger-Axe Lancers, but the tide had turned. Victory to MANU!
Round 2
Sides switched—GCA now on the offensive, MANU defending. GCA pushed toward the breached wall on the right, quickly seizing the rear Supply Point. MANU stood firm, anchoring their defense around Point A with confidence. GCA changed tactics, redirecting their focus to the A Supply Point. Sensing the shift, MANU committed their forces to defend it, throwing wave after wave into the fight. But GCA had a plan. While the battle raged over the supply point, a reserved squad stealthily snatched Point A. MANU won the fight for the supply point but lost the objective. With GCA constantly pressuring their base, MANU was forced to abandon their hard-won ground and fall back. After a long-range artillery standoff, GCA launched a dual-flank assault from the northeast and southwest. MANU, caught in a pincer, fell. Victory to GCA!
Round 3 [Grasslands]
In the final Field Battle at Grasslands, MANU pulled off a tactical masterclass. GCA played it standard—main force took B, a small detachment captured A. MANU calmly secured C, left a guard behind, and rallied their main units near B, ready to strike. After a few skirmishes, MANU launched a full assault on B, while a hero crept toward GCA’s base. Under pressure, GCA siphoned off defenders to reinforce B. That’s when MANU seized the opening—capturing B and sneaking in 19% base capture while GCA scrambled to respond. With B briefly taken, MANU shifted to full defense, locking down C and their base. Time ticked down, but GCA couldn’t close the gap. Victory to MANU!
Match 2
HBB vs VNC [Heilung Fjord] 2-0
Round 1
As attackers, HBB launched a two-pronged assault, hitting both gate A and gate B at the start. When VNC split their units to defend both fronts, HBB executed a clever play: a feint at gate B drew defenders in, while the whole squad scaled the walls and looped around toward Point A—cutting off VNC’s support path. With VNC’s main force stranded outside, HBB seized the moment and quickly captured all three points—A, B, and C. VNC fell back to the C supply point, hoping to force a final stand using terrain advantage. But HBB had other plans: a full mortar setup rained fire down on C, scattering the defenders. Under cover of saturation artillery fire, HBB launched a full-force assault, smashed the line, and stormed the base with overwhelming unit numbers. Victory to HBB!
Round 2
After the side swap, VNC went all-in with a full-force rush toward Point B. HBB saw it coming and responded with flexible defense: they delayed the push with a front line at B, while elite units flanked from the A wall to set up a deadly pincer. Caught in a crossfire between the Lionroar Crew and the Siphonarioi, VNC’s main force crumbled in the opening clash. Switching targets, VNC tried Point A, only to be met by HBB’s ironclad defense. Wall-mounted ballistae and grounded brace formations created a layered wall of death, costing VNC another massive wave—over 300 units lost. Finally, HBB’s Cavalry rode out to clean up the field and seize the victory!
Match 3
VNH vs BOD [Harbour City] 0-2
Round 1
VNH went all-in on a high-risk flanking maneuver, sending their entire force through the narrow left gate for a surprise strike on the A Supply Point. But BOD’s cavalry scouts had already sounded the alarm. As VNH reached the outskirts of A Supply, they were greeted by BOD’s main force head-on—while infantry swung in from the flank, slicing through their marching line. VNH’s vanguard had to double back, triggering a spiral of chaos. They tried the same tactic again—same result: BOD’s Cavalry ran circles around them, slicing down stragglers like it was target practice. In the end, VNH’s infantry were wiped out, and their remaining cavalry made one last desperate charge straight into a wall of brace. The unit gap ballooned past 500—game over. GGs and congrats to BOD!
Round 2
With sides swapped, VNH went into full turtle mode, stacking troops on the street in front of their base. BOD played it cool—took A and A Supply with zero resistance, then set up a mortar camp covering the alleys, with a full suite of artillery fire raining in. Pinned behind cover, VNH found themselves boxed in. That’s when BOD pulled the trigger. A frontal assault on the right drew VNH’s focus, while an elite squad crept along the wall and stabbed straight into the base. Forced to split their defense, VNH couldn’t hold either line—front street collapsed in seconds. With a 700-unit lead, BOD closed it out in style—veteran tactics, flawless timing. Well played, BOD!
