we managed to hold our traditional mini-tournament C&C:A by GMTgames - XXVI Wooden Alex.
22 participants (4 of them girls) held 4 qualifying rounds = 43 games and 1 more game was played between the finalists.
The whole event took 12:00-19:40 and was held at the school where the same Alex worked.

Round 1 - Game 1
Spartan (alecrespi) 4
Greek (Zocchi) 5

I was full of maneuver cards and I only had one "double time".
Mattia had 2 Mounted charge, 1 Cavalry Charge and 1 Counter attack that he was able to exploit perfectly.
All in all I'm happy with the result.
The game was quick (less than 1 hour) and very fun.
Great scenario, thank you Mark for choosing it!

The first game is "online" in Youtube.

Round 1 619 Nemea (394 BC)
Match 1
BrentS (Greeks) 5 banners
Mark McG (Spartans) 2 banners

Spartans started off well chasing the Athenian cavalry off the map, losing their only cavalry in return. Cards pushed the Spartans to the left, and then to the right.. which involved a bit of Spartan line dancing.

Thebans then double timed into the allies, and did some hard hitting to grab the initiative, following up with a Mounted charge to seal the win. Whole match lasted 30 mins, including downloading the latest module!

Match 2
Mark McG (Greeks) 5 banners
BrentS (Spartans) 0 banners

Greeks got dealt two Double Time cards at start, and after the initial moves to tidy up the cavalry flanks, they went straight into the allies again, smash through the pack, and fortuitously killing the Allied leader on the first opportunity. Managed to withstand the riposte and the 2nd double time overwhelmed the remnants.
Whole match went for six Command cards, roughly 10 minutes of play. Made Game 1 look like the odyssey...

Round 1  619 Nemea (394 BC)

Match 1
North Axemen (Greeks) 2 banners
Lornlane (Spartans) 5 banners

The first game began with sharp stabbing attacks by the Greeks on the flanks, the Spartans almost lost a detachment of slingers on the left and cavalry on the right. Inspired, the Greek phalanxes launched an attack along the entire front, using the Order Medium Troops and Mounted Charge cards, but the Spartans successfully counterattacked each time. After the death of one of the leaders, confusion seized the Greek ranks, the Spartans took advantage of this and launched a decisive offensive.

Match 2
Lornlane (Greeks) 4 banners
North Axemen (Spartans) 5 banners

In the second game, the Greeks, taking advantage of the numerical advantage, regained the initiative and almost at the very beginning of the battle launched a decisive attack after the Double Time order. But luck was not on their side, the advanced Greek detachments inflicted almost no damage, and suffered heavy losses in retaliatory attacks and were forced to retreat, leaving the rearguard to cover the withdrawal. The rearguard repelled the heavy attacks and suddenly counterattacked in complete isolation from the main forces, tipping the scales in favor of the Greeks 4-2. But the warriors, inflamed by the attack, were surrounded and died along with the 4-4 commander. And the Spartans grouped up and inflicted a decisive injection on the advancing Greek group.

Round 1 - Game 2
Spartan (Zocchi) 5
Greek (alecrespi) 0

The Spartans were unstoppable.
The Greeks tried with a final blow to get a consolation point, but the Spartan "First Strike" card left no escape.
