As you say, getting repeatedly hammered would discourage anybody but fake laurels and hollow victories take us down the path of participation ribbons and everyone's a winner! If people want to compete they have to expect competition and everything that comes with it. I'm all for divisions in the var...

Division D markleslie Lombard 568-569 AD defeats Garokan Byzantine 551-578 AD 57-29 . I've lightened these images, dark models on a dark Northern European map with similiar banners is a pain in the arse and I really don't like playing on them. Why these maps are so dark is beyond me, surely Europe i...

Calm yourself my friend, a few simple (minor) earthworks to keep the populace employed! A redoubt here a fleche or two there, one can assure our ditches and banks will not be marching on Denmark anytime soon. Please observe if you will, the situation on the Lithuania-Prussia border, real "provo...

Gribols so called map is a bald faced attempt to isolate Sweden from the rest of Europe, blatantly ignoring the many centuries of cultural exchange the Swedish People have lavished, LAVISHED , on our neighbours. Sweden demands more neighbours ! More so that these time honoured traditional exchanges...

From the fury of the Skirmisher Horde deliver us, O Lord.

One benefit I can think of would be some relief from extreme numbers of skirmishers. Armies with a lot of skirmishers is one thing, a combo that allows 15 plus is tedious in the extreme.

Much as I think Major Attacks unsporting I see little option but to break out the big club to end this assault on peace and prosperity. My deepest and heartfelt apologies to the Lorrainians who must bear this burden of war for all of free Europe. Bavarian turn 5 - Taxation - Major Attack, Open Battl...

Are the map sets for each faction a suggestion or required, there seem to be several choices straying from their nations home terrain?

For 35,000 Thalers your Mama can be a steamroller.

Equal points on a narrow front has proved to be a poor selection; a largely, musketry slugging match in a forest clearing. Still plenty of turns and plenty of uncommitted reserves.
