Mac Gamers' Guild 66 5 win + 25% Win
Hand of Lathandar 102 0   Loss

MgG took four wights for this game, HoL taking three and one extra archer. HoL rushed with their ghols, who were all slaughtered without inflicting significant casualties, for the loss of about 14 ghols. MgG's ghols went wight hunting, and walked right past three wights. They then came to their senses and nailed one. Meanwhile, in the center HoL had started an archer war, but had to retreat under withering fire. The MgG thrall charged and got taken out, but decimated HoL's warriors, and also acted as bait for a brutal triple-wighting that left HoL cleaning their army off the walls with a sponge.

Mac Gamers' Guild 91 7 win + 4 flags Win
Hand of Lathandar 98 2 2 flags Loss

MgG took four wights this game and a heavy load of archers, balanced by very few ghols. In contrast, HoL took only two wights and few archers, going for maximum ghols. MgG's ghols managed to kill two HoL wights, and quite a few archers. Meanwhile, MgG's army had split up into a large warrior and archer flank to the north, while HoL remained stationary at the center. Some of MgG's wights got hunted out by HoL's thrall, and their flanking warriors got intercepted by more thrall. Around about now, HoL crossed the bridge with warriors and got double-wighted (again). In the north, MgG's warriors took out a prodigious amount of thrall before succumbing under the undead tide. After the dust had settled, HoL had six archers and one ghol left, while MgG held five flags with thrall. A very close endgame ensued, which saw MgG hold on to four flags for a narrow victory.

Mac Gamers' Guild 29 7 win + 4 flags Win
Hand of Lathandar 22 4 4 flags Loss

MgG managed to tag both center and flank flags first, when HoL started a 3v3 trow fight in the center and won. This left both teams on 4 flags, with MgG in the lead. MgG defended NE with warriors and berserkers, and when Macros of HoL mounted a zerk-only attack he was swiftly taken out. MgG were able to defend for the remainder of the match to win, HoL obviously not pleased with this outcome.

HoL are still smarting from their wightings in this match; I'd imagine that the Mac Gamers' Guild looks back on their first game as one of the truly great Myth Moments in their experience. :) A comprehensive win.
