Doyley50 (Roman IV) defeats Kronenblatt (Goths) 60-52 in Bithynia et Pontus (XVIII) 60-52

[Aetius39]

Aetius (Sassanids) defeats Doyley (Romans) 48-12

Sassanid left cavalry got the better of their side's fight, and the right eventually gave way a bit too, while in the center the Cataphracts were holding the line. GG and thanks for playing!^^

[kronenblatt]

3a. kronenblatt (Romans II, 1581 FP) defeats TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1560 FP) in Dalmatia (XIV) 43-12. Incredibly none of the two C-in-Cs got killed.

[Aetius39]

Aetius (Romans I ) defeats TomoeGozen (Romans V) 43-12 in Roman V invasion of Hispania

With a bit of a pincer motion there was some flanking on both sides, along with units getting to his vulnerable archers. We put an end to their un-called for invasion of Hispania XXVII, and have the captured being brainwash..I mean...educated, so that they happily join our ranks against their former masters!

[TomoeGozen]

1a. Doyley50 (Romans IV, 1600 FP) attacks TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1560 FP) in Phoenicia (XXV).

TomoeGozen defeats Doyley50 59 - 34.

Thanks for a good close game. Finally my Cataphracts achieved something

[Aetius39]

Aetius (Romans I ) defeats TomoeGozen (Romans V) 41-12 in Roman I's attack on Narbonesis

The Roman I army managed to hold the attack on their right and break through on their left. Add a few flanks and the enemy eventually broke, although one or two units held very well on the right side, helping prevent possible disaster there. GG as always!

Round V (268 AD)

Order of attack declarations:
1. Aetius39: (+8) Sep. 6.
2. TomoeGozen: (-23) Sep. 7.
3. kronenblatt: (-30) Sep. 8.
4. Doyley50: (-39) Sep. 9.

Each player shall make two attack declarations upon other players' Roman factions (see Attacks in rules):
I. One conquest attack by his Roman faction.
II. One raid attack by any non-Roman faction.

Once attack declarations have been made, battles are resolved simultaneously during a three-week period.

Please note that:

• Goths lost raid attacks the previous round and are thus not allowed to make any raid attacks this round.

• A number of provinces are now looted by certain non-Roman factions (see earlier post and map), with provinces looted from land raids allowing for raids deeper into the Roman empire by these factions.

• Attack declaration shall be made in posts in this thread.

• Rules are found in second post of this thread.

• Date (midnight CET (Rome) time) above indicates deadline, after which opportunity to declare attacks is forfeited and the player next in line may declare attacks.

• If a player above has announced his attacks, then the player next in line is free and is encouraged to announce attacks too, up to his deadline, i.e., if the players before you have announced attacks, don't wait for your deadline to announce your own attacks but instead do so speedily so battles can start as soon as possible.

Please note the following

• Battles are resolved simultaneously during a four-week period of Sep. 8 - Oct. 6.

• The defender (in bold above) above creates the challenge, also deciding the map terrain for the province in question (in bold above).

• All battles are 24 turns, 40 x 32 and use Remove the Head (i.e., the battle will end also when one side’s C-in-C falls in battle with that side becoming the loser).

• Only TomoeGozen, the current controller of Italia XIII, is allowed to select Praetorian Guard units in his battles.

• No map re-rolls are allowed.

• Make sure you have An Empire in Flames v2 module downloaded and installed.

• When setting up the challenge in-game, in Multiplayer Lobby under My Challenges, through pressing New Challenge and then Create Skirmish, choose Select Another Module, mark An Empire in Flames v2 and click LAUNCH. The factions can now be chosen for the battle when creating the challenge.

• The defender reports the battle result once concluded: who's victor and loser (if any), always specifying the incurred casualties and whether any faction's C-in-C fell in battle.

Enjoy! Any questions? Please post them here.
