True, although I think that would be a shame. What I have particularly enjoyed about this series of tournaments is the variability of the battles, unlike the usual "open battle in agricultural" which we have tended to have in other tournaments and most one-off MP challenges.pantherboy wrote:If you want to avoid so many flank marches than set the map to very large.
Agreed. The possibility of significant flank marches is another opportunity to show skill (or not).pantherboy wrote:Remember also that fighting someone who has a flank march coming means that they are fighting you with a handicap until said forces arrive. Just take the time to examine their disposition and gauge whether they are smaller than usual otherwise if they do have a flank march than it must be rather small.

Awesome game by the soundof it!... I do wish your graphic penmen and colorists had brought their vellum and quills to the field, I hear there's a new contraption available now to copy their work. I think it duplicates images by means of stamps by applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print Apparently, those clever Germans pioneered it sometime ago - a man named Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg I believe.awesum4 wrote:My Imperial Austrians slaughtered Hidde's misguided Ottoman Turks in our first game. The Ottomans lost 61% to our mere 59%. So 6.1 points to me and 5.9 points to him.
