Only two games this week as bad weather and demands at Court kept some armies away.
West Gallomagna vs Roccamurata
This game was the reverse of the previous week for Roccamurata as this time they had to attack a fortified border tower. As they had allies from Virezza they used their Tercios to attack the tower with artillery support and used their own infatry to block-off the West Gollomagna reinforcements.

| West Gallomagna stands ready |

| Roccamurata blocks the reinforcements |
This worked well with the Tercios slugging away in the centre. The attackers lost a few units but were able to damage the tower and score sufficient points to win by the end of turn 6. Roccamurata / Vierreza win
 |
| Virezza allies attack the keep |
Game 2 - Montegrifone vs San Barzano
This is another scenario we played last week - the attacker must get from one quarter of the table to the opposite quarter without too many loses to break through enemy lines. Montegrifone massed their foot on the corner of the quadrant with supporting troops flanking them.

| San Barzano intercepting forces |
Initially they seemed to have forgotten the mission and attacked the San Barzano forces instead of seeking to break through and so were making slow progress. Eventually they remembered the brief and were able to score a win.
Montegrifone win. |
| Montegrifone attacks |

| Pushing through the lines |
And so with 7 turns played Roccamurata and Montegrifone remain the front runners. Some armies are a little further back but not everyone has fought the same number of games. We've likely got 3 more weeks before a campaign ending climax game over Christmas.
