Match: Baraka vs Gonzalan: 9-13, 36-47, 1-1 games, 1-3 pts

Game 1 saw Baraka hampered by a lack of RIGHT flank cards, my 1st turn with A/P sent his ARTY to the grave in the cemetery and made it tough with out an ARTY to defend and no cards. I, on the other hand, had the cards to move on the flank. After the A/P, Attack 3, Ambush, Move Out, Attack 3, TFH and race out to a 5-0, though Baraka moved over to the CENTER well and tried to respond to my attack and did get 2 kills. Moved to my RIGHT, attack the North Station and survive his last ditch attack and then play 1-1-1, take the cemetery and the North Station with a kill, 3 kills and win 7-2. Tough for Baraka with no RIGHT cards, loss of ARTY and my cards, lucky I got ARTY and survived his attacks to hold on for the 7-2 win. Would have bee difficult for me if not, mostly CENTER cards at that point.

Game 2 started well for Baraka, killed the bridge unit right away, 1-4 on ARTY with BARRAGE and then the slow and go game was on with each moving cautiously into position and him leading 1-0. By turn 12, I had tied the score at 1-1 and then we go on a killing spree in the 2nd 1/2 of the game! A well played ARM ASLT by Baraka gives him a 4-2 lead, I get 2 of my own, 4-4 at turn 16, we each get 1 kill in next 2 turns, 5-5 at turn 18, he gets a much needed 3-3 kill on an INF, 6-5 him at turn 19, try for a big roll with TFH, 2 INF, get 1 kill and 6-6 at turn 20! Baraka makes some nice defensive moves on his LEFT, saves a 2 fig INF, moves on the cemetery, I try and defend, miss with 2 from ARTY, he hits 1-3 on INF in cemetery and I go 3-4 on his INF, move to hill and then he goes 2-2, 2-2 with 2 INF on my INF and game him, 7-6! Probably should have stayed in cemetery, then he has to go 3-3, which could happen, but odds were he would have missed on and then I had 1 more card for the win. But, well played for him and gets the split and 1 pt.

I sit at the top with Vaillants at 26 pts, Dreexxer at 25 pts, GG at 21 pts and MM yet to play I think against Grozours and 20 pts at most for him. Baraka still in the running at 18 pts and he and a few others still in it for Top 4 in the next 2 matches and have to score well to have a chance to advance. At 26 pts, Vaillants, and myself, Dreexxer at 25 pts, depending on the outcome of MM, others chasing, our odds decent to advance with chase group have to probably get 2 wins from their matches to advance. Of course, never know with M'44, always fun and has been to this point and will work on getting those last few points to get to Challenger and try my hand there!

Good luck to all and thanks agains to Baraka for a well played match!!
