Carthage used Cavalry to open the battle. Epirote was able to counter these attacks and take the lead. When Epirotes moved forward on their left flank, Carthage was able to counterattack to take the lead and then attack the center to end the battle.

Round 6
Greg O (gottoman) Carthaginian 7 banners won 32 blocks lost
EzPickins Epirote 6 banners won 28 blocks lost

This was a very close, and tense battle, it took place almost entirely on the right and left flanks, the Carthaginians managed to kill both elephants and two cav and three heavies for the win, but one more play and the Epirotes would have taken the field....

Round 4
John (EZpickins) Rome 1 banner won 27 blocks lost
Tony (Tony) Epirote 7 banners won 14 blocks lost

Epirotes were able to brush aside Roman cavalry attacks on the Right flank. Counterattacks helped end the battle in the center .

Round 3
Greg O (gottoman) Gallic 6 banners won 22 blocks lost
Cavie Greek 4 banners won 24 blocks lost


Uncertain if we were supposed to stop if both players had 4 or 5, if so, result should be Greg O 5, Cavie 4.


Battle was a slugfest in the center, as the forces lead one to play it that way, Greg had the better luck.

Round 1
Greg O (gottoman) Antigonus 6 banners won 10 blocks lost
mantra Gallic1 banners won 24 blocks lost



Antigonus Army had two lines commands and a center leader card in the opening hand and came on strong up the middle and the Gallic force never could get any initiative to counter.

as per tournament notes, play to 6 banners for this scenario each time. Ignore the draw condition.
