Division A

Triarii – Arab, Bedouin 300-636 AD with Byzantine 579-599 AD allies beats Morbio – Arab, City 300-633 AD with Sassanid Persian 477-590 AD allies 50-23

A very hilly and rough terrain map meant a grind over the rough hills where Bedouin medium foot had the edge over City foot and Sassanid levies.

Are the Seleucids actually winning in any Divisions ?

The record of the army in FoG2 is not exceptional by any means so a "powerhouse" is not likely.

Perhaps this will end up like boxing, with 4 different 'weight' classes...

You should note with scaling that when you have more points you also have more of each type that you can buy. You may buy all types on your list like the Seleucids but you will still encounter the issue of not having enough points if you begin maxing out on particular unit types.

As for blind selections then it is very understandable that it requires a moderator to put in a lot of extra work which is a rather unattractive proposition. In the old days of the League of Extraordinary Gentleman I publicly posted my army selection and then had everyone PM there choice but then I don't think I limited an army to a single player. To avoid repeat armies towards the end of my days as a coordinator I trialed selecting 10 or maybe 12 army lists for a season per category for players to select from ensuring a wide variety of lists. I then had players receive their preference in order of their ranking based on the last seasons performance with me always taking the final choice for division A.

Especially in the incipient days of LoEG I would select scenarios which players used and had to do as a mirror match which I found to be tremendous fun since it didn't matter if it was biased to one side or the other and let players enjoy playing a variety of armies though without selection of individual units.

Very interesting approach! What was the response among the players? And how did you find the trial yourself?

Another excellent idea! I think MikeC_81 is setting up something similar at this very moment.

Yes, this season we have 60 players in Classical Antiquity, Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages plus another 30 in Biblical. So that is 210 PM's from players straight away. Then you probably have to double that number of PM's for edits, particularly where players have put "armies to follow". So I would end up with 400+ PM's where the system can only hold 100 PM's in my Inbox. So it is a complete non-starter even if I was inclined to try it. Actually I think I would rather stick pins in my eyes!

That is a bit restrictive for my tastes. I prefer to let people choose and now, with the allies option available, there is plenty of scope to come up with interesting new combinations.

We have been doing this in the Themed Event for many years, going back to FOG1 times.

Pete for scenarios I meant actual ones that come with FOG like the battle of Cannae so that the force composition and battlefield are identical for the mirror battle.
