OT2019 Round 1

Greetings to all!
I want to greet the veterans.
In the last tournament there were 6 Russian-speaking players, now 14 registered.
Alecrespi proposed to discuss the addition of the Russian language to the site. Perhaps in the future it is worth doing this, interest in the project, despite the age of the game, is growing. I am very pleased with this, and I am sure that this is all for the benefit of the project.

Game 1

Cavie (Persian): # 2

Gileforn (Greek): # 5

That was a good game. Persian archers had a very bad luck. Greek have started from the fast concetrated rush from the right flank. The result of this rush was a captured persian camp.


Game 2

Cavie (Greek): # 2

Gileforn (Persian): # 5

All Greek power was focused on the line between right flank and center. Taht was very difficult for Persians to do something here. Persian archers fought in melee and didn't evade. As a result greek hoplits couldn't cross a river well. Opponent was very good, but this time luck was on the Persian side.
