Game 1

Player 1 (Macedonian) PCScipio42 - 6 banners

Player 2 (Greek) scrum4you - 4 banners

Both sides started by consolidating their lines and trading fire. Macedonia was more successful weakening Greece with ranged combat and dice god assistance. Dice gods changed sides and Greece chewed up the heavies on the Macedonia front line. At that point, Greece was ahead in banners and the game was probably winnable by either player. Macedonia rallied with good use of cavalry and won the battle by picking off weakened Greek units. The lead see-sawed from Macedonia to Greece to Macedonia, making for an exciting game.

Game 2

Player 2 (Greek) PCscipio42 - 3 banners

Player 1 (Macedonian) scrum4you - 6 banners

Both players had some struggles with their hands, making for a long game. There was a prolonged period of the lights trying to weaken the other side and adjusting lines. Eventually both players attacked each other's lines in the center. The game was fairly close until the last turns. Greece fought back near the end with a strong card, but Macedonia used the heavies to clean up weakened units and win the game.

NOTE: I attached the files but don't see them. Hmmmm.

   

Round 4 Game 2 Chaeronea
Andygor T Macedonians 3
SteveT Greeks 6
After initial largely ineffective missile fire (including no hits from 12 dice Macedonian Darken the Sky, as Andrey suggested maybe the wind was against the Macedonians), the Greeks formed line, line advanced and then double timed the Greek right against the Macedonian left, trapping and destroying a unit each of LI and LC (0-2). Fighting continued on the Greek right/centre right with a further loss of three foot units each (3-5). Side by side, father and son, Philip and Alexander, launched a Mounted Charge against the rear of the Sacred Band, which had been left isolated as the melee moved to the centre. The Sacred Band was nearly destroyed but eliminated Alexander’s Companion MC on the battle-back, and were saved by the bell 3-6.
Thanks to Andre for another tense and tough game! We missed that Alexander should have had an extra dice, so there might have been satisfaction for Macedon with the destruction of the Sacred Band and a score of 4-6.

Game 1 was a really close game that was tied at 3-3 at one point. My right flank kept pushing and pushing until the line of battle was at an angle and I had chipped off just enough to win.

Game 2 was a story of really good cards and dice for me and using that to slam into his left flank and overrun it. Thanks again to Alister for the match!

Both sides took a little time sniping and setting up their lines. When the two lines met, the Macedonians just overpowered the middle with their heavy units.

The flanks played more of a role in this one, with Alexander causing a lot of damage on the Greek right flank. It was a sloppy game by both sides with each side making some fairly careless moves. Dice rolls were pretty strange as well - some 5 and 6 die whiffs and sometimes some streaky flag rolls. Each game saw leaders fall.

Cap is a good opponent and the games had great flow - it was an enjoyable way to spend an hour!

A fast report and i will add log files and AARs later.

Geoff went on offence early and was the aggressor the whole game.  He had a 5 to 3 banner lead when the game turned. He attacks a weakened Auxialia but fails to eliminate it and the bb kills his MC and leader. All tied he comes at me again. His three attacks fail but my HI bb gets 4 hits to eliminate hs full strength HI for the game. Very intense and I got lucky.

Game 2

gheintze (Greek) 3 banners

The early engagements were on my left. Both sides suffered losses before action switched to the center. I played Double Time to move three HI into melee with his MI. They killed two of them and the score was now 5 to 3 in my favor. Geoff then played Mounted Charge and brought four MI into combat. Unfortuneatly for him his first attack failed and my bb did not. Another good game but luck was with me this night.
 
Geoff played well but couldn't overcome my good luck.

This was a straightforward fight. The Greeks attacked first on the left flank, but broke against the heavy infantry and suffered losses. After that the Macedonian gathered central flank attacked and inflicted some losses. However, the counter-attack by the Greeks was not successful and gave the surviving Heavy Infantry a chance to press the advantage. Order Heavy Troops was issued by Macedonians and brought the number of banners to 5:0. However, some unlucky attacks postponed the victory and caused some unneccesary losses. But in the end the durable and dangerous Heavy Infantry of Macedonians served them well and brought the win.

Game 2

This time the new Greek commander didn't want to break against the rock-hard centre, so, lucking out on cards, gathered forces to the left, thus opening the roght flank to a daring Companions assault. Bravery, however, does not substitute wisdom, so these were the first unfortunate losses, as the Sacred Band proved its worth by destroying one Companions unit and one misguided Light Cavalry. But the wealth of tactical possibilities that Greeks had with cards like Line Command and Order Mounted which would allow to move Hoplites twice caused hesitation, and the Macedonians struck first with Double Time, destroying the centre, lacking in Commander support. Severed in two, the Greeks lacked one good Order and tried to counter in the center, but Auxilia were not good enough, and so were the rolls, and after heavy losses in just two turns Greeks were doomed. Yet again, whoever gets the three Heavy Infantry units to an enemy first seems to win.

Despite the difference in banners count, two very exciting and relatively close games. In the first young Alexander did not even move, Phalanx doing all the dirty job. The second saw a desperate defense of Spartans, who managed to inflict significant losses to Macedonians, but not finish them off (two 1-block red units on Brent side survived). A lot of fun and as always great games with Brent.

Dear JohnS,
I will be in Spain from 1st to 10th of July. Seems like the best day is the 12th of July. Let try to pla yor games on the 12th of July. I believe we are 1 hour apart. I can start playing at 8:00 pm i.e. 7:00 pm ypur time. We should get both games in. If not we can play the 14th of the 15th around same times

   

Round 4 Game 1
Steve T Macedonians 6
Andygor Greeks 4
After initial ineffective missile fire, Alexander’s cavalry attacked trapped Greek LI to little effect, but the LI battle back followed by the hoplite attack destroyed one of the companion units (despite evasion) 0-1. The infantry lines approached, with the Macedonian phalanx attacking first at the double, now with Alexander attached. Both he and Chares died in the melee, with heavy casualties on both sides in a tough battle – but the Macedonian phalanx (2 HI units destroyed, 2 badly damaged) overcame the Greek hoplites (3 MI destroyed) and auxila (2 destroyed).
Thanks to Andre for a tense and tough first game!

the hoplite assault in the centre wasn't fatal, and the reparté was.. with the Macedonian right sealing the win.

Initial assault on the right by the Maacedonians was bloodily repelled
then the action in the centre.. the Macedonian phalanx smashing through
 

Game 1
RiverWanderer  (Macedonian) # 6
Soul1st (Greek) # 1
Confident Hoplites soon formed up and made an imposing assault against the Macedonian right. Macedonian heavy infantry countered the move and, aided by a First Strike, sent the Greeks reeling back, worse from the uneven melees. From there the Macedonians had the initiative and a late attack by Alexander's Companion cavalry helped to complete their victory.

An early and unremitting clash of the main infantry forces, which resolved the game quickly.

Game 2
Soul1st  (Macedonian) # 4
RiverWanderer (Greek) # 6
The initial skirmishing soon gave way to a Macedonian advance in the centre, with a spearhead of heavy infantry double-timing into the vulnerable Greek line. The coordinated battles soon claimed banners but enough of the Greek formation survived to give a riposte, gradually causing the Macedonians to fall back and consolidate with reinforcements from their left flank. Both sides by now had weakened units, hoping to survive the next attack and get another chance to hit back or escape. The Greek force tended towards their left, where Macedonians were weaker and less of a threat. At banners 4:5 to the Greeks, Alexander at last emerged with his companions on the hunt for lone Greek units.  Just in time for the Greeks, a lucky shot from their Light Infantry, caught Epaminondas and denied Alexander his chance.

This game had more cut and thrust but again Alexander was late to the fray and most of the action was in the left and centre.

Thanks to my opponent, Twan (Soul1st).

First die roll of game, arrow in Phillip's eye. Luck never got better for Travis. Greeks had good dice, esp on the critical rolls. Only 1 activation for Travis on Spartacus. Greeks ended game on Clash of Shields with 4 units in contact. Last Macedonian VP was another leader.

Game 2

Talliopharoah (Greek) 1 banners

Gonzo (Macedonian) 6 banners

Perfect cards for Macedonians included Mv-fire-Mv to start game, 2 line commands, Hvy troops and Double time. Five turns. Two leadership anywhere cards were never played. All Travis had were move left flank. Epanimondas held him off there and Phillip destroyed the Greek center. Travis lost another leader in this one.

Thanks to Travis bearing with this extreme luck with good cheer!

Busy time here, so I will not be able to play my match vs toganalper till July 5th at the earliest.

So looking ahead, I should be available any day from Jul 5 to July 12 from 8am on (EDT / NY time).

So, if my opponent can let me know what day / time is best for him, I will get back to him on this ASAP.

Game 1
TTK (Mac.) 6:1 Azcat (Greek)

Game 2
TTK (Greek) 2:6 Azcat (Mac.)

In both parties, Alex Macedonian (due to infancy) and Silver Shields (due to cultural peculiarities) did not take part in the battle. Everything was decided by the phalanx in the center and on the right by Philip II and Epaminondas. Invariably in favor of Macedonian weapons.

Thank Greg for playing!
