Initial card plays on each side moved units from the Vandal Right & Byzantine Left onto the hill.
Thought I might be in trouble when my initial HBC with leader attack onto the hill got 1 hit on the LC which didn't evade, and rolled 2 Reds in return. My LBC then rolled 2 Greens in attack, so the initial setback was revenged.
Jon then played Order Mediums to move his MC up, and since this was far better than any card I had, the Counterattack card meant my MBC closed up, killing the LC, a MC, and driving the Vandals off the hill.
Jon then played Probe Centre, moved up two HC to attack my MBCs, but critically did not occupy a hill hex.
The MBC evaded away, leave the HC stuck off the hill. I could then claim the 3 banners for the hill, also played Probe Centre and moved to attack a 1 strength MC on the Base line, with the leader moving to adjacent. I played a Battle Bonus, and had a nasty fright when the MC played a First Strike, but 2 hits and no flag meant I could stay and finish the game. All up, a 6 played cards game, and damn near reciprocal cards.
