Vae Victis III - Bellum Italicum: Closed

[TomoeGozen]

Hi Andreas,
I've been enjoying this one and would be quite happy for it to continue , equally I'm not going to take you to court if it comes to an end now.
Maybe some sort of grand final between the two nations with the most glory(total wins and captured cities) for dominance of the peninsula?
Either way , many , many thanks for all the work you've put in to this(and all the others!)

I've got an idea on a more firm end and victory condition:

The player who's the first to accumulate a positive casualty difference (inflicted versus incurred) of +100 wins the campaign. (The casualty difference can be earned in type A as well as type B battles and everyone starts at zero.)

But then I'd like to know: who is in and who is out of the still not eliminated players?

Please answer here in this thread.

[Rosedelio]

Sure, I'll continue.

[shane30]

Good evening everyone
It's ok for me I'm ready to continue

[deeter]

I would like to continue.

Deeter

[dragmio]

I'm in for the +100 casualty difference.

[TomoeGozen]

I'm in ☺

[Doyley50]

I will be eliminated.

[kronenblatt]

OK, great: then we're all 13 players:

1. kronenblatt
2. Aetius39
3. Rosedelio
4. deeter
5. TomoeGozen
6. shane30
7. dragmio
8. Dreddradish
9. SpeedyCM
10. Karvon
11. TheGrayMouser
12. dim30
13. batesmotel

[Dreddradish]

Sure, sounds fine to me. I'm in.

[SpeedyCM]

Yeah I'm still in.

[kronenblatt]

Great: then we're 9 at least. I'll give the rest (batesmotel, dim30, Karvon, TheGrayMouser) a couple of more hours to join as well (say until 5PM Stockholm time), and will then distribute all uncontrolled towns and cities to the participating players. Meanwhile, I'll tidy up and simplify the rules somewhat.

[Karvon]

I'm in

[TheGrayMouser]

I’m in!

[kronenblatt]

Great x 2: then we're 11.

[dim30]

Hi !
Still here, count me in.
Sorry for the delay.

[batesmotel]

I'm still in as well.

So now the campaign is entering a final phase, with all non-eliminated 13 players still in.



I've adjusted the rules, tweaking some, simplifying some, with the main changes here (but please read RULES for full details):

• Army strength of all armies is increased to 1600 FP, for level playing field in this final phase.

• Cosae becomes Dreddradish's capital.

• All Towns and Cities not owned by any player have been allocated to players (subjectively but hopefully unbiased), so no more random opponents in Type B battles.

• The player who first reaches +100 in accumulated casualty difference wins the campaign.

• Players accumulating -100 or lower in casualty difference get eliminated.

• Mercenary can in Type A battles be used freely as allies and main army (but then without allies).

• No more use of lines of logistics.

• No reinforcement of army strength from structures (thus, army strength can only go dooooown...). Structures still provide FP benefit in Type A battles though.

• Capitals use 1400 FP in Type B battles.

Time has come for round 9's order giving and movement instructions and the 12 MP each of your armies have.

Please send to me through replying to my PM by Friday, January 27 (9 PM, Swedish time) at the latest, and just as a simple sequence of individual moves (e.g., 2 4 2 6 0 6), with no other symbols in between, only blanks (for easy copy-pasting by the administrator). I will not open the PMs from any of you guys until I've published my own movement instructions for army #1.

For details, please check Giving orders and Movement in the RULES.

Any questions? Please ask them in the campaign thread, for everyone else to see question and answer.

Don't worry: we'll all still hold each other's hands to get to know and understand the rules, etc., together. This is for fun, after all!
