ok, thanks.

I played my last turns in the Fall of Assyria, apparently also called the Drums of War, tournament, yesterday evening (27th). This afternoon between 14:02 and 15:34 I received nine massages that read: This is a reminder that it is your turn in the 'Drums of War' tournament. If you do not complete yo...

Div 4 I don't think that wzfcns has posted his victory: Burgundian 1471-77 defeated Ilkhanid Mongols 68:47. An interesting match, in which horse archers had to contend with well-deployed longbowmen with stakes and plenty of enclosures, all quite close to the edge of the map. One of the good things a...

Division 3 JacobusRobertus Egyptian 1550-1451 BC defeated alexmike1 Median 836-627 BC 55:60 Sorry, reporting this late having been though my battles to make sure I was up to date with everything. I don't remember much about this battle other than that it was close all the way, and it could so easily...

Division 4. Ilkhanid Mongols defeated English (Yorkist) 1486-1497 AD 51:19 The Mongols faced the Yorkist army occupying hedged fields on the very rear of the battlefield, with a difficult hill and marsh making advancing on the Mongol right flank look very unattractive. In the centre and left, howeve...

Division 4. Ilkhanid Mongols defeated Castilian 1476-1497AD 40:9 The Mongols benefitted from a battlefield that was much more open than it looked, although with a built up area in the middle where they were able to base a unit of crossbowman. They managed to evade most of the attacks by the Castilia...

Division 3 JacobusRobertus Egyptian 1550-1451 BC defeated RussellGardener1964 Assyrian 704 - 682BC 61:46. The Egyptians took up a defensive position along a ridge, centre and right, facing Assyrian infantry in (protected obstacle) fields, deploying their chariots on their left flank. The Egyptian ch...

Divison 4 Ilkhanid Mongols defeated German Imperial 1488-1500 51:24. The Imperial Germans stationed most of their forces on a prominent hill, protected by a wood and marsh to one flanks, with their left wing some way away facing a long ridge on which the Mongols had deployed a few horse archers. The...

Division 3. JacobusRobertus Egyptian 1550-1451 BC defeated Asterix_von_TWC Trojan 1280-1180 BC 61:49 A bit of a slug fest where the Egyptians overextended themselves on the right flank and were cut down by a defence in death, but won in the centre and right. The Egyptians' bow armed chariotry ultima...

deleted - wrong forum.

Division 4 JocobusRobertus Ilkhanid Mongol defeated bebold Navarrese 1395-1402 42:5 Left flanking attack by the Mongols drove off Navarresse cavalry and defeated some of the infantry, achieving victory just as they were running out of arrows and facing the most heavily armoured units. Thanks for the...

3 more to open 4th Division

I'd like to join. Armies to follow when I 've worked out what is left.

Would love to register, but the link just takes me round and round in a loop.

Me too, also in Tournament, does Slitherine fix things at weekends?

So they do - but to have them stand, unresponsive, when attacked makes the whole scenario pointless. Local commanders would surely not just stand there while slaughtered - indeed wasn't the impetuosity of those local commanders what caused the Romans to get into such a mess in the first place? Moreo...

Another player and I (I offered an open challenge) have just given up on a mirrored battle of Adrianople. Even after three turns neither of us was able to move any of the Roman units. I know they were supposed to be surprised, and that fresh orders had to be issued, but just standing there while the...
