Horthgar [Polish] won vs Greyhunter [Ottoman], 52 to 61. Very close game, with the Polish hussars making the difference. Thanks, Greyhunter. It was quite a fight!

Greetings early royalist won 47-63% against Vadim early Parliament.

Not so close as the score may suggest I would say, flat map with a wood in the middle. His cav routed mine quit easly on his left (early parliament cav is soooo weak damn), i managed to do something on my left, but he used the wood ina better way than I did. I could route some of his units but was never in position to really make the difference, especially after that 2 of my units got off map chasing and never came back ! Another did go off but came back late, but it wasnt the key element of this battle

Moncholee showed up by the way, too late for tournament but went for a game.

All,

Below are the Round Two match-ups for the Caracole Tournament. Same as before -- everyone should be playing two new opponents selected by algorithm.

Note: *** Moncholee *** I've added you back into the tournament. You'll be four games down, but you're free to compete through the remainder of the tournament.

I decided to get this going since so many players have completed their first four games. Hopefully this doesn't overburden anyone with too many on-going games. Also, I'd actually miscounted our number of games -- we actually only had 46 games to play in the first round, and 24 are completed. I also figure most of the remaining games are in a "rapid play" state with everyone stuck in and the computer doing most of the thinking...

Ouch! The group,of death!!

[Hrothgar]

Boy! I feel bad for you, Ggarynorman. Not bad enough, however, to volunteer to switch opponents with you.

[flatsix518]

ggarynorman,

Paybacks for smacking me two of two...

Just kidding -- that's the way the algorithm went.

Have fun!

Best,

John
