Division A

ahuyton (Phokian 550-461 BC) beat paulmcneil (Syracusan 550-461 BC) 60-43

A hard fought hoplite clash which was very tight until the last couple of turns when my armoured troops broke through the enemy line. Friendly game.

Division C for Celebratory

Barrold713 (Babylonians) gets off the Biblical Schneid with an unexpected victory over lyidaned (Assyrians) 48-19

A handy stream and archers managing to withstand direct infantry poking and perforating our very nice linen bathrobes gave enough time to stumble to a victory as I am not sure my play did much to deserve it.

Weekly round-up
Two wins for pantherboy (Achaemenids) has moved him to the top of the table this week, just ahead of Cunningcairn (Hannibal in Africa). Further back, but still in a good position to challenge for the title, are dkalenda (Seleucids), who is unbeaten in 4 matches, and klayeckles (Ptolemaics), who has won 4 from 5. At the bottom, things are looking very bleak for rexhurley (Graeco-Bactrians) and nyczar (Greeks), who are both yet to pick up a point. Not much change at the top in Division B this week, where Hendricus (Romans) is still just ahead of XLegione (Galatians), who has 2 matches left to play. A win for SpeedyCM (Greeks) keeps his automatic promotion hopes alive, while 3 wins for Trogilus (Pergamenes) sees him join the back of the leading group. paulmcneil (Armenian, Tigranes) desperately needs points now to move away from the bottom of the table. deve (Ptolemaics) completed a clean sweep to win automatic promotion ahead of SLancaster (Macedonians) and Najanaja (Hannibal in Italy), who will now battle it out for the runner-up place. In Division D, an eighth victory for sunnyboy (Spanish) gave him the automatic promotion place ahead of Geffalrus (Antigonids) and General Shapur (Hannibal in Africa).

Weekly round-up
harveylh (Jewish revolt) remains top of Division A despite losing to his closest challenger pantherboy (Bretons) this week. MikeC_81(Arab City), Breogan (Spanish Sertorius) and dkalenda (Romans) could all still feature in the title race if they can put a winning run together. There is nothing much to report in Division B this week. In Division C, another win for jjaquemond (Kingdom of Soissons) sees him maintain contact with greekiraklis Byzantines, the long time leader. There are only 4 matches left to be completed in Division D where only the minor places are still to be decided. Barrold713 (Jewish Revolt) looks a good bet to finish third and may only need to win one of his three remaining matches.

I think Morbio may have forgotten to report his glorious win of a couple of weeks ago, a tale of lancers and warbands cutting up poor Breton peasants
