Round 4 Romans (219-200BC) v Carthaginians, Hannibal in Italy (218-217BC) Stimovsky v Morbio

Morbio WON 60-50

Have you played it twice? If so, the first result (Morbio winning) will be the one that counts. (stockwellpete)

Division B

Ludendorf (Romans 219-200 BC) defeats SpeedyCM (Carthaginians: Hannibal in Italy 218-217 BC) 42-60%.

This game was much, much closer than it appears. I blundered a bit in the middle after almost decisive initial success, and Speedy's consistent, tenacious and efficient manoeuvring kept me constantly scrambling to avoid falling that one critical step behind. My forces were worn down to the bone, and by the final turn, my army could have ended up collapsing rapidly had Speedy got a single rally amongst his routing troops. The fight ended at the point it needed to for me. I also got lucky with my morale checks, my stubborn Romans toughing out almost every situation their foolish commander got them into. The Romans really prove their superior and above average status today.

Division B
