HOML 6 Ancients Challenges
Challenges.
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 tyronec has Away games to Snuggles & Lucius (the ones in red) - he sets these up. He does not set up the games with CheAhn or Rosedelio (the ones in blue), they will set them up against tyronec's Syro-Canaanites. For the Snuggles games, the armies will be Snuggles's Home army (Gallic) and an historical opponent of the Gauls. The map will be what Snuggles 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. If we are well into the league you might want to PM an opponent before setting up the match to avoid this.
No Heavy artillery is permitted in the Ancients period.
The competition officially runs from 6th April - 31st May (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.

Re: HOML 6 Ancients Challenges
Quick question: Do the matches have to be ranked?
Re: HOML 6 Ancients Challenges
I would suggest no because if there is a reroll then the initial match will be given a ranking score.Quick question: Do the matches have to be ranked?
You could go ranked if both players have done their reroll.

Re: HOML 6 Ancients Challenges
Hi, its my first HOML so Im a bit confused. Shouldn't be me posting the away challenge against GDod ?
Re: HOML 6 Ancients Challenges
The AWAY opponents are the ones in Red, the first two columns. The AWAY opponents for GDod are Brenmusik and Arthurius, so the Brenmusik challenge is correct.Away games posted and pm sent :-
DIVM Carthaginian 410- 341BC vs Etruscan 490-331BC, mirror match, large, wide, 1600pts, Med. plain

pw gdod (all lowercase)
The match against DIVM is a HOME one and should be set up by DIVM.

So, I hope this one is correct:-
My second away challenge is Arthurius Achaemenid Persian 460-420BC vs Thracian (Triballi) 700-351BC, mirror match, large, wide, 1600pts, Middle Eastern Hilly

You cannot use your Home army for AWAY games, you must pick a different army, even if the dates are compatible.
Libyans are not date compatible with the Achaemenids.
So you do play against the opposing HOME army, but you must pick a different army to play with.
The system is different to the TDC !
