Division D
Ulysisgrunt (Antigonids) defeated Antivert (Romans) 41-13

Two weeks left in the tournament Div A: Close between tyronec and CheAhn. It all depends on their games against Aetius39, who could also take the lead if all his remaining games are strong wins
Div B: snooky51 currently leads, though with a win or even a costly defeat, carpenkm could take first. Captainwaltersavage is the likely bronze winner.
Div C: Barring a catastrophic loss against w2512494748, SimonLancaster will overtake Bagatrix1805 for first. However, w2512494748 is undefeated in the few games he has completed.
Div D: Solemnace is first. Second place depends on ulysisgrunt's game against SawyerK.

Div B

Morat Carthaginian (Hannibal in Italy) 216-203 with Samnite defeats GDod Seleucid 166-125 BC with Jewish: 61-40

Division D

Ironclad Macedonian 320-261 BC with Greek allies defeated Antivirt Rome 105-25 BC with Numidian allies, 66-59

A tough close fought battle which stretched across the map as cavalry and elephant movements led to a number of a separate actions and both sides were on 58 as the final turn began. The Romans were able to feed reinforcents into the remaining cavalry combat sufficient to finally overcome the resistance of an enemy light horse unit but were held by in check by Macedonian lancers. Meawhile the exhausting infantry struggle culminated with two legions continuing their fight against opposing pike formations but the critical presence of a recently returned elephant unit swung the battle decisively in Macedon's favour and Roman casualties forced both legions to break.

Thanks for a good and entertaining game.

Thanks for the game.

Div B

Carpenkm beat frederic02 65 - 39
Good battle well played.

There is about one week left in the tournament. Div A: With the match between tyronec and Aetius complete, CheAhn needs a solid win against Aetius to overtake tyronec for first.
Div B: One match left for the division, but the top rankings are mostly finalized. First: carpenkm, Second: snooky51, Very likely Third: Morat.
Div C: With the extra wins from w2, it's likely he will overtake SimonLancaster for first.
Div D: First: Solemnace, Second: ulysisgrunt, Third: gort7078

Division A


Aetius (Carthaginians) defeats random27 (Indians) 40-5


The Carthaginians took a lot of arrows, but managed to rout many of the elephants early, and after that the archers were too weak to stand alone. GG!
