OK, but, for example, I fight against a cav army with a medium foot army in open terrain and with a cav army against a medium foot army in moutains this isn't "to ensure the fainess in this game" :)
If the auto army option chooses compulsory troops and random mix of discretionary troops then if wouldn't be the same mix of troops as the previous game anyway will it? Hence, will it matter if the terrain is not the same?
Some armies have a limited choice of troops. Polish against Jacobites means cavalry against medium foot.

Of course, it does not change the outcome of the game (the best player wins, whatever the army and... TheGrayMouser is the best of the both games :cry: ), but it is not pleasant to fight twice in bad condition (in agricultural with medium foot and in mountain with cavalry).
Overall the end result of the match is TGM has 13.2pts to LFDLM's 9.5pts so the mirror system works as it is as that is reasonably close across both games so in view gives an overall balance that makes it feasible for us to work forward together, compared to that we saw happening in the TYW event where we only played one side of the Imperial/Anti Imperial Lists with the Imperialist wins far exceeding the Anti Imperalist so overall the mirror system does provide us a balance of some kind..

I am in the second line...

So, since I already saw games posted for me from Snugglebunnies and Cromlechi, I shall post "Boxing Match" :lol: games for all the others,

May your army assignments be fortuitous, and your terrain complimentary!
And for all our amateur poets, and their patrons, I offer this tortured verse...

An Ode to the Goddess "Potluck": she who giveth and taketh away -

When the word 'Potluck' is said
my stomach tightens in dread
For thought the random foods can be yummy
its like Russian Roulette for the tummy
And I'm consigned to the loo or the bed

Multiplayer.... change menu to accept challenges, scroll down to snugglebunnies. There's a challenge for you there (or what I like to call a rabbit stew recipe), click on this and the challenge box will come up and ask you for the password... scoll further down and there are other challenges for you... does this help Grumpy Doge?

Rex's password is would like to be King
But truly he is no such thing
Because from the field he will always run
Back to his tent - he always forgets his gun
When he arrives back... it's his worst fear, Jacobites doing a victory fling

Have posted challenges for my mirror games to Jomni, Ianiow, awesum4, and Lascar in our glorious box3.

Hidde and Oogieboogie have been unresponsive.

The computer makes for some very unbalanced battles here. I have been cursed with 2 Ottoman armies and a Jacobite army against state of the Art opponents, giving me next to no chance for victory. At least in one I got the Russians which gives me a slim chance against Jomni's French.
Hard to achieve a high score when half of your battles are virtually unwinnable. Luck is a miserable slut at times. :)

I just wish to check - In the first round the 'Force Selection' was set at 'Default'. In the mirror games 'Force Selection' should be set to 'Auto'?

Well shawkhan, any bad match ups you get, you get to play the reverse to make up for it. So at least there's that consolation.

Correct otherwise since your picking the armies to be used it wont create an army for you automatically, this was kindly pointed out to me by TGM
