AWLS 2010 ROUND 1 POST-MATCH ANALYSIS
Even a well-earned victory from veteran omar couldn't save the Atlantics, as Europa steamed into first place getting an impressive bang for their buck. (Shurely "euro"? Ed)
Meanwhile the Rockies got the result they were surely hoping for from their hefty spend, although the Ringers put up a good fight. Just wait until *they* get fired up.
Next up, Round 2!

AWLS 2010 ROUND 2 FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Europa is reborn! Perhaps this time they will reach their full potential. But they are still neck-and-neck with the Rockies, who also have had unprecedented success. It will be another round before these two clash, so let's see if this round the Ring of Fire can put a dent in Europa's progress, and if the Atlantics can defeat the Rockies yet again in an all-American derby.

Round 2 was largely a success, with the Ring of Fire making a comeback and the Rockies moving into first place.
However one of the matches, Sconibulus v. Ice, could not be played due to server issues. This game has been rescheduled in the gameroom for this weekend.
After that I'll be posting a proper update!

ROUND 2 POST-MATCH ANALYSIS
Wow! Atlantics trounce the Rockies 3-0 to steam ahead to first place! The Rockies'll be smarting from that. After 2 rounds they'll have a chance to get their own back, but for now they're just going to have to bide their time.
The Ring of Fire seems to be getting back into the swing of things with a very respectable 2-1 victory against Europa. The two are now neck-and-neck and would be first and second were it not for the Atlantics' shock victory.
Next week the Round 3 games will be starting up, so stay tuned to see how champions Ring of Fire fare against the tigerish Atlantics, and if the Rockies can lick their wounds to get back in contention against the European pretenders.

ROUND 3 REVIEW, & ROUND 4 PREVIEW
Both the Atlantics and the Rockies took a drubbing, while Europa and the Ring of Fire were catapulted up the leader board, both with a hefty budget surplus.
This round the Rockies are clearly trying to claw back their budget, and have still managed to produce worthy opponents for their opposite numbers over at the Atlantics. So will the Atlantics manage a fourth straight victory against their West Coast rivals?
Meanwhile in the other match... Wow! Chessandgo makes a rare appearance as Europa tries to secure their lead. However the other tables see the Ringers with a distinct advantage. In any case it promises to be a blistering encounter.

ROUND 4 POST-MATCH ANALYSIS
So there's the answer to that question: Yes, the Atlantics did manage a fourth straight victory against the Rockies. And it was merciless. The Rockies were on a tight budget this round, and try as they might they were outmaneuvered by their (underrated) opposite numbers.
In the Ring of Fire v. Europa match chessandgo produced another breathtakingly surreal performance against embattled Adanac. However the victory scored by the maverick and his rabbits was not enough to save Europa. Experience won the day on the other tables to give the Ringers an overall victory.
So now the Ring of Fire goes into Round 5 in first place with the Atlantics in dubious second. Europa trails the lead by 3 points and have their work cut out for them, as they try to extract more points from the American teams than the Ringers will in the final two rounds. The unfortunate Rockies on the other hand have only honor to play for now.
