Rise of ..... campaign

[klayeckles]

so i have to go last because i'm at the bottom of the list right?

[MikeC_81]

Are people still active in this?

[Hendricus]

Generals, organising battles and picking terrain takes a lot of time, so I suggest we use the rules of King of the Hill. Shorter campaign, simple line up of the next battles.
How are you thinking about that ?

[Hendricus]

Rise of,,,,,, ( Rome ) 279 BC
Transfering the results we get the following situation

Seleucid (1) ally of Rome
Thrace (1) ally of Macedon
Macedon (2) ally of Greek
Greek (3) ally of Rome
Rome (5)

Illyria (1) ally of Pontic
Pontic (2) ally of Gaul
Gaul (3)

So we see two empires and those clash in the following way
Seleucid/Illyrian war Aryaman sets up battle for Hendricus
Thracian/Pontic war schmolywar sets up battle for Trogilus
Macedonian/Gallic war NikiforosFokas sets up battle for Klayeckles
Rome and Greece debate about ruling a vast Empire.

Set up very large force, very wide map, Remove the head, default force selection, pot luck terrain
If the C in C is killed you not only lose the battle but all allies revolt.
Have fun on the field of glory

So is Devoncop and I supposed to do an internal battle or what?

That battle would be a friendly training. You are both part of the same empire and the upstarts fight first. A pause for both of you during this year.

klayeckles beats Nikiforokas
in an excellent cat and mouse game. initally i attempted to take his high ground and was easily repulsed...then he moved in on mine, while our mounted troops boiled around the flank. i ended up with locally superior numbers, as my mob troops and pesky chariots delayed the arrival of his flanking force. great fun!

onward to the next battle round!

SO Just tell me who the Gauls will fight here, if anyone.

The Gauls are the supreme power that can win the campaign as their allies win their battles. So you sit back and become the fat cat.

I have to report a win against a great guy. Not really a fair match with my Macedonians fight against the Greeks but the ability of devoncop made it a close match. Thanks for the game.
