Game 1
RiverWanderer (Volscian) 6 banners
GomJabbar (Roman) 5 banners

The Romans started with a volley from the Lights and then they retreated back behind their Medium lines. Volscian followed up with bold advance on their right but the Romans countered with their Medium infantry with Furius. But the Volscian right flank advance seemed like a feint when their center crashed into the Roman Mediums pushing them back and gaining a banner. Camillus took slight notice but then went back to bed when the Romans battled back to take out an overextended Medium Cav. A back and forth battle in the middle then continued with both sides trading banners and the Romans never trailing by a banner so Camillus just sat in camp. Furius then switched to the Roman right flank (due to cards available on that flank) and pushed into the Volscian Auxilias but failed to get that last banner. The Volscian leader then left his Warrior unit and dashed across the field to meet with a Medium Infantry to deal the final blow to a weakened Roman Medium. A close battle.
 
Game 2
GomJabbar (Volscian) 6 banners
RiverWanderer (Roman) 4 banners

Game 2 started very similar to Game 1 with some slight ranged attacks on the flanks but then the entire middle of both sides smashed together with 3 successive Line Commands. The 3rd Line Command for the Romans was very decisive with 4 banners gained in 1 turn. With no banners for Volscian, it was looking like Camillus was going to sit back eating grapes and enjoy the carnage. But then the Volscian leader got involved with a Mounted Charge on their right. Most of the Roman units were on the right with no enemy nearby so they started shifting to the left. Volscian gained a couple of banners on their right, slowly coming back into the battle. Then turn 4 for Volscian saw themselves suddenly gain 4 banners with 3 depleted (MCwLeader,MI,W) units in a decisive last ditch effort. That was extremely lucky for Volscian when a single battle back would have been disastrous.
 
Thank you Mark (RiverWanderer) for the games. That was fun.

Alister vs taliapharaoh

Match 1
Azzy(Volscian) 5 banners won
Gonzo (Roman) 6 banners won
Early Volscian range strikes effective.  It went from 0-0 to 3-0 Volscian in a turn, the 5-1.  Romans turtle in middle then a Volscian charge fails to get a win and the Roman reposte kills several units and their leader, getting their final banner the following turn.  Romans were looking at a shutout, only to come back and win.  This game is like that.  

Player 1 EZPickins (Volscian)  6 banners won

Player 2 Tuscan Centurian (Roman) 3 banners won

Match 2 

Player 1 Tuscan Centurian Volscian) 2 banners won

Player 2 EZPIckins (Romans) 6 banners won

Two very enjoyable games where luck favored my side. Game 1 saw my lights being very effective and a Clash of Shields played and killling Furius key moments.  Game 2 saw some give and take early but I was able to overcome the Volscian attacks by winning the war of attrition (35-15) to pull off the win. Simon played two quality games but I had most of the luck.

Alister and taliapharaoh should have 1.5 points each, if I'm not mistaken

thanks for the feedback!
