Thats a fight with Morbio - the map has it with Triarius

Sorry, for some reason I read "Triarius" as Morbio." I guess I'm lost as to where Triarius (Tuam) comes into it. The short answer to your question is that there is no battle between myself and Triarius. He's my ally. The Pascommuck fight is with New Englandia, and it is marked on the map in New Englandia's section. So are my fights with Morbio and Clan of the Brave. As far as I can tell, there is no campaign between myself and Triarius marked on the map. Sorry for all the confusion.

Tuam is pleased to confirm that it has no current fight with Crimea - a valued ally who has kindly given us access to the scurrilous quill pushers of Utopia.

On the same topic my access will be restricted/zero from the 4th to the 18th July.

Apologies in advance.

It's OK Morbio - I wasn't invited either

Peter,

Do you have any general opinion whether we should or should not be using double moves by default?

I didn't test the beta but read the posts. If the double moves are dependant upon command range then my opinion is the same as yours I believe - we should be using this as it is more realistic.

Does anyone object to it?

I dont believe that made it into this version....

I think it should be player choice but has to be consistant ie cant only use it when it benefits you in certain line ups that can take advantage of the db and then not wanting it when it might beneift your opponent
Dont know how that would be tracked though and of course one might want and the other not no matter what ....
Maybe the standard default should just be on....

Command range is very definately in the patch. I vote to use double moves. It's not that big of a deal and definately imporves the game.

oh, cool, didnt realize that

What i really like is that units no longer get an xtra move hex beyond their max by causing a light to evade .....

use double moves...command range is in

How do you think your leaderless army will fair w double moves?

Speaking of which, any allies or neutrals ( ah heck even enemies) feel like some test matches w dm's before the Lost World War 2 starts?

But there is also the corollary change that troops charging evaders will continue to the limit of their move after them (barring something else getting in the way/ Makes it a good deal more dangerous for LF with javelins to throw them at LH, or to charge skirmishers with non skirmishers when the skirmisher's supports are within charge range and not something you want to charge.

Well, have only played a couple turns in one game.

>Like the TT, you have a first-move advantage now with the double-moves. LH especially can fly way out in front and cause the other side to slow down (but I've had said LH attacked and it never evaded ).

I don't think I'd worry about not getting double moves for everything. The main centre block cranks on the first turn and possibly the second. Then it slows down. Maybe a second commander so the whole line could move...will see. But the Romans need the swarms of infantry.

I'll post a game for you...password dribble...500pts...the swarm seems to work better at 600 but ah well.
