Division D

Macedonczyk (Arab Conquest) beat Doyley50 (Anglo-Danish) 48:8

I set up my spearman line face diagonally although the line was vertical in centre which caused that the last sperman (which was not attacked) could make a flank attack and then recursively in subsequent rounds it happened again.

Division D

Macedonczyk (Jewish revolt) beat Doyley50 (Roman) 40:3

The map was my ally. A hill with lots of rough terrain and then a forest.

Division C

Garokan with Arab beats Tresantes with Lydian 64-43

(This should be Classical Antiquity Division C - stockwellpete)

Division C

Garokan Indian beats Karvon Numidian 60-43

Division B

lydianed (Persians) defeated Nijis (Hephthalite) 63:56.

A balanced game which sung back and forth in fortune throughout. Well played Nijis.

(3-1)

Speaking from experience, you don't want to be flanked by Muslim spearmen!

Weekly round-up
Geffalrus (Macedonian) won the big match in Division A beating joint leader Nosy_Rat (Roman) in a very close match leaving harveylh (Roman) as the outright leader. All 3 players now have 24 points. At the bottom a victory for XLegione (Antigonid) over fellow-struggler youngr (Indo-Greek) means that youngr will be relegated. In Division B IMC (Samnite) finished his fixtures with a very creditable seventh win to go second, but Schweetness101 (Carthaginian) can now only be caught by either third-placed desertedfox (Greek) or fifth-placed paulmcneil (Galatian). At the bottom batesmotel(Gallic), phoyle3290 (Macedonian) and Trogilus (Pergamene) are still without any points at all this season. In Division C Ulysisgrunt (Antigonid) is confirmed in second place and all eyes now are turned onto the relegation battle involving 4 players rs2excelsior (Pontic), Bluefin (Italian Hill Tribes), Garokan (Indian) and MikeMarchant (Seleucid). Another newcomer has won automatic promotion this season. This time it is Macedonczyk (Indo-Greek) in Division D who has 7 straight wins already, including a victory over second-placed Swuul (Roman), which means he cannot be overtaken now.

Player of the week
Macedonczyk (Division D) with 2 wins this week to secure automatic promotion from Division D.

With 7 straight wins so far, newcomer Macedonczyk has won Classical Antiquity Division D with his Indo-Greek army. Well played Macedonczyk!

Weekly round-up
Two wins for youngr (Arab City) this week has secured his place in Division A next season and gives him an outside chance of pipping Snugglebunnies (Byzantine) and Morbio (Roman) for second place behind dkalenda (Kingdom of Soissons). Still no clarity in Division B with Nijis (Hepthalite) now top despite losing his last match. lydianed (Sassanid) moved closer to the lead with another win while further back Questar17 (Gepid) is still unbeaten in 4 starts. Another win for SawyerK (Kingdom of Soissons) in Division C almost certainly means he will finish second to ConstantinIX (Roman). In Division D vvanttin (Germanic Horse Tribes) completed a clean sweep by winning his last 2 matches and there was another win for Macedonczyk (Jewish Revolt) in his battle with Hyde77 (Bosporan) for second place. At the bottom a win for GeneralKostas (Byzantine) means that baldrick52 (Pictish) needs 6 points from his last 2 matches to avoid the wooden spoon.
