Project Conquest: Blood Bowl has not slowed down at all as it enters its second week. Let us see who remains on the map after we recap each battle.
Project Conquest: Blood Bowl began on October 5, with each army eager to make its mark. The first week saw Special Weapons and Tactics, Army of Club Penguin, Help Force, Aliens, Spartans of CP, Winged Hussars, Secret Service, Scars of CP, Water Vikings, and Templars take their spots on the map. They began by fighting for freeland, but as things grew more crowded, they turned on each other. Despite this, only one army, SCP, had been eliminated by the end of week one. This was not the case by the end of week two, however, as only two Small/Medium and three Major armies were still standing.

SS Invasion of Haunted County Durham vs WH
The Secret Service had an invasion on Haunted County Durham, belonging to the Winged Hussars. However, since the Hussars did not show up to defend their land, SS successfully invaded Haunted County Durham, meeting the size requirements.
CPA Administration Note: During this battle, SS leadership contacted the CPA Administration regarding concerns about a troop’s actions. A member of SS, known as CoolPurpleGY, was found to be multi-logging on an account activated on the day of the battle, named TherapyGY. SS leaders were unaware of the situation until they conducted further investigation due to suspicions. As a result of this violation, both WH and SS were placed in a group chat to discuss the issue. The WH leaders felt that, since the SS leaders were unaware of the incident and had been deceived by their troop, the invasion would still be considered valid. The troop is now barred from participating for SS throughout the entirety of Blood Bowl, and the alt account has been deactivated from CPAB. ~ CPA Administrators Mare & Coolguy

Major Army Clash, SS vs ACP vs HF

The map is a lot less colourful now as the armies have been whittled down to only five. We see the south of the map dominated by ACP as they have encroached on HF and SS’s land. The Secret Service controls the northwest, holding a lucrative position as they border three of their four opponents. Meanwhile, HF is clinging on in their corner in the northeast. On the S/M side, the Winged Hussars are almost in control, but SWAT hangs on with one server remaining. Will the armies make good use of the last few days? Will we see any more eliminations? Who do you think will win Project Conquest: Blood Bowl?
