We had two Ghaznavid armies that were put in different bracketts because
they picked the same year and were right on the break point between the
Middle and Later Brackets. We had them roll off and the high roll (Jason)
went into the Late Brackett. Many thanks to all those who participated.
Here are the standings, after the smoke cleared:
