HOML 3 Challenges Ancients.
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.
Both 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.
The competition officially runs from 15th Oct - 9th Dec (8 weeks).
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 then the game will default to the opponent.

Re: HOML 3 Challenges Ancients.
To set up your challenges.
For example, in Division A; Ericy has Away games against tyronec and Rafydedel. He sets these up as below.
He has home games against Rapadilla and BobGanoush, They will set those games up.
For the match against tyronec, if you look down the table you will see that Tyrone has chosen Indian 320-545, Tropical.
So load up the game and set up a challenge, select Indian 320-545. Leave DATE and GEOGRAPHICAL blank.
That gives you in this case a short list (I didn't my opponents to have too much choice !) of available armies that match DATE and GEOGRAPHICAL. Pick whichever one you want.
It is Large battle, change to that.
Enter the MAP TYPE. In this case Tropical.
Then on the next page tick MIRROR and complete the Comment and Password.

Um, don't you mean default large battle wide for map size which is normal for 1600 pts? Otherwise, that'll make for rather congested fields. You have wide selected in your later example screen shots, so wanting to clarify which is correct before creating any challenges.

Re: HOML 3 Challenges Ancients. One space available.
I believe it is as that is what's listed in the rules thread (I'm guessing it's just a copy paste error from the Medieval Challenge thread), I've sent a PM requesting clarification but until I hear a response I'm going with wide maps.Karvon wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 3:51 amUm, don't you mean default large battle wide for map size which is normal for 1600 pts?

Re: HOML 3 Challenges Ancients. One space available.
Just to clarify:
Your Away matches are in red, those are the ones you set up.
Your Home matches are in blue, your opponent sets those ones up.
