Two victories for the Sassanids 5-2. In the second game, the Sassanid won the last medal by exiting one light cavalry unit. It seems however that unit exit is not essential for the victory, as the Sassanid can efficiently collect medals through an orderly advance, exploiting the advantage in the number of troops.

Sassanids won all 7 matches, 5-3 was best Byzantine result, with three 5-2 and three 5-1 results.

My view is that to be remotely competitive, a Time Pressure objective rule needs to be in play such as;
"The Byzantine player when playing a Scout Command card, instead of drawing 2 Command cards at the end of his turn, may instead draw 1 Command card and take a Victory banner. Taking a Victory banner is not possible if doing so would give the player the final Victory banner to win the battle."

I'd consider removing the 2nd sentence as well.

As far as I understand, CC scenarios are not supposed to be fair. This one is surely not. But I think it might be still interesting for the Byzantine player. The challenge is to try to do the maximum damage before the Sassanid player wins. So if played back-and-forth it might still be competitive. It is true however that the difference of total medals is likely to be of the order of 1 or 2, which means that the final result is particularly sensitive to the luck factor.

That particular scenario is very prone to luck factor thus results can be unbalanced. While ok as a standalone play, as a part of tournament could actually skew the results.

Vittoria Sassanide 5-1. I bizantini si rendono conto da subito che il nemico tenterà di uscire dal campo di battaglia con la cavalleria quindi avvicina le sue cavallerie medie per chiudere le vie di fuga. I sassanidi avanzano su tutta la linea e sulla loro destra cercano un passaggio per uscire dal campo. Gli arcieri a cavallo e la cavalleria media riescono  quasi nell'intento mentre la cavalleria pesante con il suo leader viene fermato dai tiri degli arcieri bizantini. Passano vari turni in cui il leader bizantino con la sua cavalleria corre dove possibile per fermare i cavalieri nemici, ma alla fine rimasto senza truppe si ritira e la cavalleria sassanide riesce ad uscire con due sue unità.
