mike, i resigned and re-posted the challenge because you have to use the army i used against you in round 1, meaning you have to use lombards against my ostrogoths in round 2 (in round 1 your army was ostrogoths and mine was lombards). the same goes for every one of your games.
password: you are lombard

lydianed, you could avoid those problems by showing your army and by having different passwords.

It's the note of repressed exasperation in your posts that I like so much...

I just got back from a 14hr day of meetings flights and road trips will pick up tomorrow lads when i have some brain cells

I will be traveling over the next two days. I will try to sneak a few turns in, but if you don't hear from me between now and Saturday don't be surprised

Repressed exasperation, like that.

Rex lay off the bloody booze LOL

'repressed exasperation'; that's pretty good dr. freud.

Right. Having made a monumental mess of this and receiving a ticking off from Sir in the the process I am now seeking to make amends.

Ian - posted a challenge for you against Lombards pw "lombards"
Rex - posted a challenge for you against Gepids pw "tepid"
Solly - posted a challenge for you against Avars pw "solly" Solly, I'll kill the game you have accepted as you have picked Early Byzantine rather than Maurikian Byzantine. Please pick up the new game with the correct army.

Despite appearances to the contrary I'm actually not this thick in real life.

Okay, done with the travel until mid-April. I think i am playing all of my Round 2 games except;

Ian - there is a challenge out there for you (don't deny me my chance at revenge)! pw "lombards"
mike - I believe you owe me a challenge

Cheers,
Chris

Sorry mate my cock up now I got the initiative and picked a crowded map, the reality is that its an open plain with a wood at the back, your call if we reset or play. if you want to restart I have put a challenge up for you pw reset

it's actually a more respectable 35/33. it seems the game goes on even when the looting of your camp at the end of your turn pushes you over the limit. bad programming put the victory check before the camp looting check.

has anyone been playing mike? he seems to have disappeared.

rex, have you put up your challenges?

Always carried on into the next turn even if camp is looted. I expect some of us have been involved in that sort of game

Not much else you can do as the game will not allow you to stop playing, unless you the winner resigns. Had a quick look and I was on 26/40, you were on 34/33

However had to carry on fighting and so routed 2 cav (4 bps) and 1 lancer would have pursued into rear of disrupted cav so another bp.

Another lancer cav fragged an mf and if I had known I would not have charged your lf in rear but fought to the front. An lf on 68% casualties facing a disorded hf imp foot sword prot and an average mf bow so I reckon that is another 2 bps which = 8 bps in total and so the game would have ended 26/40 vs 42/33

Your call. I suppose you could always score games where the end result would be, the losing player only loses his initial bp total

So the game would have ended 26/40 vs 33/33 and most of the finished games will have to change end result.

No news from Mike so hope he is OK.
