All matches are Mirror match, 1600 points, Large map, Open Battle.
The Away player sets up the match. They can choose any historical opponent to the Home army EXCEPT that same army or their own Home army. If you leave ‘DATE’ and ‘GEOGRAPHICAL’ checked that will give you the list of valid armies that you can use. The Home player should check that their opponent has used a valid army, invalid matches will have to be replayed.
There are NO Allies for either side.
Use the map that the Home army has selected, or ‘Pot Luck’ if they have not selected one.
So Eric has Away games to Aetius and tyronec (the ones in red) - he sets these up. He does not set up the games with BobGanoush or markleslie (the ones in blue), they will set them up against Erics Trojans. For the Aetius games, the armies will be Aetius's Home army (Vikings - Ireland) and an historical opponent of the Vikings. The map will be what Aetius selected - potluck.
Players are allowed one map reroll each. You do not need to consult your opponent, just set up the game again exactly as before and PM your opponent. But only one reroll per player per match.
If both of your opponents to your HOME army select the same army, then you can require the second challenger to use a choose a different army. This is to avoid playing the same match up twice.
No Heavy artillery is permitted in the Ancients period.
The competition officially runs from 22nd October – 17th December (8 weeks), it is OK to start before then.
You must set up one challenge in the first week (that is one of your two Away mirror matches). Post in this thread and PM your opponent.
You must set up your second challenge by week 5.
Please respond to all challenges within a week, either pick them up or let the challenger know when you will start.
If you don't get a response to a challenge within a week then PM me.
Once a game has been started all turns must be returned within three days, unless by prior notice. Players would generally be expected to average a turn a day or if it suits faster.
If a challenge is not posted on schedule AND the results are not posted by the end of the competition OR if players don't respond to PM's from me then the game will default to the opponent.
