Game 1
EZPickins (Roman) 6 banners vs gcallari (Sertorian) 5 banners

The Romans keep on peppering the, well, other Romans with their slingers until the latter lose patience and, with the help of good cards, charge massively with mixed results, until they lose a leader and the whole center. All is not gone as the left wing of the Sertorians charges, too, sending the score to a disturbing 5-5, but the roman right wing holds and wins the day.

Game 2
gcallari (Roman) 6 banners vs EZPickins (Sertorian) 4 banners

The foolhardy Romans start the battle charging with a lone MC (poor equines), then advance en masse and wreck the Sertorian center, but at a high cost in casualties. At this point the Sertorians try to do their best, but are frustrated by a bad hand of cards and are slowly eroded by the relentless Romans. The left wing of the Sertorians has not been able to do a single move in the whole game.

After all, it seems Sertorius is not at too big a disadvantage. But he needs a bit of luck.

Game 1

BrentS (Sertorians) # banners vs Gonzo (Romans) # banners

Tight battle where Sertorians fought very well without leaders. Roman archer on little used right flank was dead eye shot and got last banner.

Game 2

BrentS (Romans) # banners vs Gonzo (Sertorians) # banners

Romans started with 2 line commands, looked grim for Sertorians, but leadership in center killed 3 of 4 legions with Pompey and hid 2-1 point units. Sertorian right then crushed, but M-F-M allowed all the light to escape and killed a unit with missiles on the way. Sertorian desperation Cav charge with 1 pt MC killed damaged Roman MC and leader for win. Suprising and sudden reverse of fortune. Fig loss relatively equal at 21-19.
Thanks to Brent for great match.
