The following games set up, with PM sent.

ulysisgrunt attacks kronenblatt using the army of Areia. Attacker satrapy Areia, defender satrapy Parthyaia.
Armchairbaron attacks kronenblatt using the army of Gedrosia with Indian allies. Attacker satrapy Gedrosia, defender satrapy Karmania.

tyronec attacks Aetius39 using the army of Aigyptos. Attacker satrapy Babylonia, defender satrapy Persis.

Aigyptos wins 41-11.

Ptolemy dies in all three battles of his this turn, quite an accomplishment to get killed in three places all at the same time !

Rosedelio attacks tyronec using the army of Hyrkania. Attacker satrapy Hyrkania, defender satrapy Media.

Rosedelio defeat tyronec 62-39

The Median and Hyrkanian armies met between some enclosures on the Hyrkanian left and a large patch of rough ground in the center. The horse archers softened the Median hoplites and pikes on the left while delaying contact on the right.

No C-n-C's fell from what I remember.

Aetius39 attacks Rosedelio using the army of Parthyaia. Attacker satrapy Parthyaia, defender satrapy Areia.

Rosedelio defeats Aetius39 45-12

The Areian army made use of the enclosures and rough ground to hold on the center and right while the left flank of irregulars and horse archers slowly went around and flanked the Parthyaian army. No C-n-C's fell

Antigonus (cinc) falls in battle with Ptolemaic forces. It is now up to Neoptolemus and Seleucus to decide who wins the battle.

Geffalrus attacking with and from Satrapy Armenia defeats tyronec in Satrapy Mesopotamia 46-68

Quite the epic battle. Similar amounts of pikes and cavalry, but I brought more irregular foot to grab the rough, while tyronec brought way more skirmishers. The rough ground was closer to me past an up slope in my favor, which forced tyronec to come to me and fill me with arrows. My numbers advantage only truly came into play when the core of tyronec's rough ground force, 3 thureophoroi, all bricked their impact/melee rolls and got routed pretty easily. My own thureos and irregular foot were then able to dart around the rocks and threaten the flanks of the enemy pikes. Had tyronec's thureophoroi had even normal luck, I'm pretty sure his skirms would have had more time to shoot me down to size.

And just to reiterate from the previous post, my CinC also died, leaving both Ptolemy and Antigonus bleeding out in the sand. Neoptolemus secured victory and now young Demetrius will take the throne.

Ok, so now only Rosedelio hasn’t had his C-in-C fall in battle?

Well I'm definitely dead.
By the way, are we using the Glory scoring system or is is just most provinces ?

Yup.

End of campaign condition is that all CinC are dead and then number of satrapies wins? Or is there an additional metric?

From the rules:

The tournament ends as soon as at least one of the following conditions (whichever is the earlier) is fulfilled at the end of a round:

1. a player controls more than half of the satrapies (i.e., 13 or more), with that player being the winner of the tournament, or
2. the C-in-C of all non-eliminated players have fallen (at least once) in battle, with the non-eliminated player having the highest Glory being the winner of the tournament.

1. Aetius39 (C-in-C killed): attacks Rosedelio using the army of Parthyaia. Attacker satrapy Parthyaia, defender satrapy Areia.
   => Rosedelio wins 45-12.
2. Geffalrus: attacks tyronec using the army of Armenia. Attacker satrapy Armenia, defender satrapy Mesopotamia.
   => Geffalrus wins 68-46 (both C-in-C's killed).
3. Rosedelio: attacks tyronec using the army of Hyrkania. Attacker satrapy Hyrkania, defender satrapy Media.
   => Rosedelio wins 62-39 (tyronec's C-in-C killed).
4. tyronec: attacks Aetius39 using the army of Aigyptos. Attacker satrapy Babylonia, defender satrapy Persis.
   => tyronec wins 41-11 (tyronec's C-in-C killed).

ulysisgrunt attacks kronenblatt using the army of Areia. Attacker satrapy Areia, defender satrapy Parthyaia.
=> kronenblatt wins 57-32.

Armchairbaron attacks kronenblatt using the army of Gedrosia with Indian allies. Attacker satrapy Gedrosia, defender satrapy Karmania.
=> kronenblatt wins 46-15.

From the rules:

The tournament ends as soon as at least one of the following conditions (whichever is the earlier) is fulfilled at the end of a round:
a player controls more than half of the satrapies (i.e., 13 or more), with that player being the winner of the tournament, or
the C-in-C of all non-eliminated players have fallen (at least once) in battle, with the non-eliminated player having the highest Glory being the winner of the tournament.

Could we get the running Glory points just to know where things stand before the next round ?

No, I’ll do that at the end, for a more thrilling conclusion.

But nothing stops you guys from making your own private calculations meanwhile, of course…
