Division F

Darkwater247 Gepid 567 beats Conteshard Byzantine 493-550 AD 42-17

alas the chivalrous Darkwater247 is not reporting my failure, so:

my take of the battle is: Gepids are bad, bad people

Division E

Blagrot (Spanish (Sertorius) 80-70 BC) beat joggy (Roman 219-200 BC with Numidian or Moorish 341-56 BC allies) 44% - 12%

The middle of the battlefield was a large rocky hill, the Roman mediums tried their best but couldn't hold up to the massed Spanish, the romans left flank found it's self chasing horses and light foot all game and their right flank fell to the spanish legionaries, thanks for the game and good luck for the future games.

Division E

Morat (Lombards) beat grumpydaddy845 (Dacians) 35-4 (Dacians surrendered).

Dacians did not have a lot of luck in this one. Thanks to grumpydaddy for a good game.

The first Time Control check on this coming Sunday will be the main focus for me from about Thursday onwards. I will be sending PM's to players who have not completed one match in any section they have entered. Remember, players who have entered the Themed Event get an automatic pass on this check at the 3 week stage.

The main purpose of the check is to identify any non-starters in the tournament so that I can replace them quickly with reserves. The second Time Control check two weeks later has its main focus on players who may have taken on too many matches and are falling behind schedule. Sometimes a player may be asked to drop a section to make their schedule more manageable.

I will also be checking the multi-player lobby over the weekend to identify challenges that may have been missed.
