Div A

MikeC (Romans) def Nosy_Rat (Pontic) 49-70

Division D

Kabill (Antigonids) very narrowly defeats Jackdaw (Romans) 38-63

It was closer than the score implies; compounded by 8% worth of rallies on my side after the end of my last turn. Not so much a win, then, as not quite a loss. (Also, if I never see another veteran hastati again it will be too soon.)

Since Morbio clearly doesn't like to boast, I am forced to follow Kabill's post with news of yet another of my defeats:

Division D.

Morbio's Syracrusans defeat jakdaw's Romans: 47-60.

In Division D, RagnarOneTooth (Hannibal in Italy) lost a match this week which has allowed Kabill (Antigonids) to close the gap a bit. dkalenda (Seleucids) has started with a win and could make a challenge in what is a wide open division.

Division B

Thanks for the game Rex .....his Cavalry attacks from the flank just didn't stick for him so the score flatters the Ptolemaics.
