Jarib managed to optimize the Carthaginian side by masterfully managing the 4 cards, something I failed to do in the previous game.
In both cases the elephants gave practically no contribution to the match.
The dice results were a bit weird at times but overall I had a lot of fun.
Thanks Jarib!

Lunacab vs Azzy

Game 1:
Carthage (Lunacab): 3 banners
Roman (Azzy): 7 banners
Very hard and long battle. 27 rounds. Carfage had good cards(MCH+1, DMove,FS,2Spartacus) but not very good dices. So we struggle and struggle. I think it was mistake for my  opponent attack with Doublemove without General. He didnt make much hurt  and i could remove my wounded units in rear and counterattack.

Game 2:
Carthage (Azzy): 7 banners
Roman (Lunacab): 4 banners
From first round i had DoubleTime, so i was waiting  for good time  to use it. I hid my elephants behind light units. And waited, and  waited. I finally caught Mounted Chage and Chaaaaaaaaarge. Attack  was terrible, i kill 2MC and  didnt loose anyone. After  that Rome made counterattack, killed one elephant, but diceded not shoot in another Elephant. It was good for me. My  elefant caught MC and on next  round i make doublemove and destroyed the left flank/

ROME's biggest blunder was on TURN 8 - ORDER MEDIUM.

Marcius totally forgot about going after the Elephant after the rampage.  (Momentum advance and bonus CC ), which also cost Rome their Medium cavalry on Turn 9 and victory. Could have earned a point. 

Carthage got lucky with Turn one fire 6 rolls for just a single banner and following it up with Order Light and shielding the beasts.

On Turn 7 Rome had the chance to get 2 banners (Provided cards permitting), if MC could have charged on that lone auxilia, and MA + 1 blocking the lone LC retreat path , BC'd on the  it. 

That Mounted charge by the beasts on those Mediums wrecked havoc.

Turn 9 M-F-F- Rome LI chose to shoot at the Warrior over the beasts, weakening the warrior also makes sense. But could have saved the Roman Medium Cavalry



Also the Commander of Carthiginian seemed more experienced.

Good game to watch.

Daniil is a very strong player. We had competed several times before, but he always won. I did better this time. In the first match, luck was on my side several times, in the second Daniel played boldly and aggressively, I was only engaged in withdrawing weakened units from the front line, but his squad, along with the leader, was surrounded and this brought me victory in the sum of two matches. Thanks for playing!I'm attaching the saves, for some reason I didn't record the logs, Daniil will send them a little later.

Match 1

Sir Kral (Carthage) 3 banners

John S (Roman) 7 banners

I fire on the elephants to start and cause a few blocked retreat losses on the light units behind them. But the beasts move back and out of range. I pick off a LC with ranged fire for the first banner. Much later after a lot of ranged fire I lose a LI. A good deal later I advance with LINE COMMAND and have another in hand along with FIRST STRIKE. Too lucky banner results push back one of my MI and HI which would have hit LI if they stayed in place. I close with the enemy line and take out two LI and an AI and just miss taking out two more units. Karl plays DOUBLE TIME and kills off two AI in the center as my FIRST STRIKE fails. I then play CLASH OF SHIELDS and order five units but only three are needed finish off weak units for the win.

Match 2

John S (Carthage) 4 banners

Sir Kral (Roman) 7 banners

After Karl gets a hit on my left elephant I use my MOUNTED CHARGE to hit his MI on both flanks. But the beasties only score three hits and both fall. My cavalry score as many hits on light units which evaded. The Romans press forward, and I am able to score a kill on a LI but lose one AI and trail 1 to 3. I use my LINE COMMAND, but my attacks only get a few hits and Karl has COUNTERATTACK. All his infantry step forward and bit by bit pick off my units. Two WI and an AI are lost for the loss of one AI on a BB. The last attack was a ranged shot with 1d vs a 1 block AI but missed - whew. I get one more turn. Hasdrubal Gisgo steps forward and picks off two 2 block units in the center to boost my score to 4 before Karl can end the game.

Game 1 

Eric (Boredbeyondbelief) Carthage 5

Travis (taliapharoah) Rome 7

I fell into a quick 0-3 hole as the Romans by losing some units on the right, including my leader on a double helmet very early on, but due to some very fortunate ranged rolls, was able to claw my way back into a 5-5 tie. I was then able to play a MC for a med cav and vanquish two lights at the maps edge for the final two banners. Having a card advantage greatly helped me as well.


Game 2

Travis - Carthage - 7

Eric - Rome - 4

As Carthage, I was lucky to attack with an E and get 7 hits on two MI right away, which eventually became a back and forth struggle on both wings. Eric moved his Romans well, countering my own moves and pulling me right into a couple of traps to even it up at 4-4. I was able to move three units behind two of his exposed infantry to get the two kills and the leader hit (my 2nd of the game) to finish the battle.

Had a great time playing Eric, very enjoyable match!

Match 1

Player 1 (PCScipio42 Carthage) 6 banners

Player 2 (scrum4you Roman) 7 banners

Rome took out both Carthage elephants quickly with lucky ranged combat. Carthage pushed Rome lights back and took out one. Rome played Double Time to press the attack on the left and Carthage responded with Clash of Shields, which Rome countered with an ineffective First Strike. Score 3-3. After a few small battles, the left flanks were dissolved with score 5-4 Rome. Carthage twice used Inspired Leadership to engage right flanks into CC. Score was 6-6 with Carthage in better position to win. But Rome got a fortuitous roll and won 7-6 on turn 18! This was a very long game.

Match 2

Player 2 (scrum4you Carthage) 7 banners

Player 1 (PCScipio42 Roman) 4 banners

Both sides were hampered by cards, especially Rome with a collection of useless Center cards. Rome went after the left elephant but Carthage screened it. Carthage drew first blood with Darken the Sky, then continued firing to go up 2-0. Carthage used Line Command to form up a line but left suspicious routes for Elephants to move forward. Rome counter attacked and move his left forward. Carthage then played Mounted Charge to CC with elephants and MC and LC. Rome played a well-timed First Strike which retreated one elephant safely. End result was 3-1 Carthage, then 5-2, then 6-3 after a few small battles and a very effective elephant on the right (2-3 kills). It was desperation time for Rome, who quickly made it 6-4. But Carthage advanced and took out a Light in CC to end the game 7-4.

Game 1

Carthage pushed hard on their right but was repulsed by the stalwart Romans. Then they tried the left and gained 2 banners quickly. It was looking great for Carthage. But then a lucky Roman MC took out 2 units on the left followed by an overextended elephant on the right. It was then 3-2 for Rome. Rome then pushed the advantage heavily on their right pushing back the Carthage cavalry. With the Carthage cav down to 1 block each on the right and on the back row, the Roman heavy with Scipio was able to get to the back line and take out the cav for the win. 7-3.

Game 2

This time Carthage had 2 Double Times and 2 Heavy troop cards to start. So they had to get those Heavies on the back line into the fight. They decided to take the Roman left flank and made good headway supported by a Warrior and some lights. Casualties piled up evenly on both sides. The elephants fell quickly, then the warriors and the heavies. The Carthage right was devastated. It was 6-5 for the Romans. Then a simple Move-Fire-Move was able to make a Carthage LC retreat off the board for the last banner. This game was very even compared to the first with good and bad luck on both sides.
