Huns versus Illyrians - The Semi Final

The Club's Basic Impetus League competition is coming to a close.  I faced Simon's Illyrians (lots of men with javelins) with my Huns (men on horses with bows).

Things started out very badly for the Illyrians.
Not only out scouted (no surprises there)
but no terrain to speak of.
Just one patch of boggy ground where the Huns must have corralled their horses overnight.

Both sides advance, refusing their right wings.

The Hun skirmishers get pinned (they have the same base colour as their opponents unfortunately,
but one Hunnic cavalry unit makes a charge down the Illyrian centre,
giving time for the rest of the Huns to get into position.

That charge went onto to heroic glory,
allowing the main body of the Huns to start to close in on the Illyrian right flank
 which has become separated and seriously exposed.

The Illyrian commander's unit is almost wiped out...

And with its demise, victory to the Huns
and on to the final.
Will it be against Dave's Egyptians
or Phil's 100 Year War English?
