Rome Results

I meant to pick up the final standings, but I am afraid in the 35 degrees heat then I forgot....

Podium positions where

1. Tim Porter
2. Pedro Sanchez
3. Dave Ruddock

It was a pleasure to behold Tim grumping through the entire game on Sunday morning about how uncatchable Light Horse were. I suspect he may have changed his opinion this afternoon

Six superb games, enjoyed every one of them. If it had rained the competition would have been abandoned.... Playing outside is a unique experience.

Oh well, it just goes to show that Dominate Roman must be a broken army

Well done Tim.

Well done Tim!!

Tough luck Dave - maybe Britcon will be third time lucky?

How weak was the field if The Boy Porter won

Seriously - well done Tim, and not with the full Evans-esque version as well

MLMB Dom Roms, Its the army of the future....

...and I agree with Nik's point, if I can win with it, maybe that will be the straw that breaks the camels back to prompt an urgent revision of the rules and lists!

"Marginally Less Morally Bankrupt" it would appear ...

Hail to the winner and thanks for the very beautiful games.
I've played with only 1 of you British generals (but with 3 Spanish!!)
I really enjoyed the match against Phil, his Catalans and Dave's beers! (maybe I were distract by the game, but it seems the plastic glass could never stay full for more than one second..... fortunately we were playing near the bathrooms!

)

Tim's plan to avoid a strong IWF field and concentrate on the European's worked then !

The thing is, a similar configuration can be done with the Principate as well.

Easy

Find the exchange rate for 1 moral, buy the appropriate number of chickens, and sacifice them to the appropriate god!

Its inversely proportional to the number of superior legionary units, and directly proportional to the number of superior shooters & skirmishers.

is that (superior shooters) & skirmishers or superior (shooters & skirmishers) ?

I thought it might be proportional to the number of BGs overall as well.

A full blown MB Dominate has 9 BGs of average armoured auxiliaries, 1 BG of average legionaries and spends all its remaining points on superior light troops. Any small amount of 'spare' points might buy a poor BG of MF to be camp guards or something.

There is a limit of no more superior than average but with 10 average BGs it is not an issue.

The bankcrupcy is due to all the support units being of Palatina status versus the Pseudo/comitatenses(?) status of the Auxilia and Legio they support
