And any suggestions on map terrain for my attack, or do you prefer default map terrain? Up to us to agree.

HEIDIPIE LOMBARS BEAT STEW101 VANDALS 60 TO 34
weaker armor but more troops plus those pesky skirmishers who somehow did real damage

Stew101 Franks defeats Heidipie's Byzantines.
Score 51 - 25 %.
It was very generous of the Byzantines to bring so many horses for my Franks.
But H didnt seem to like my reasonable request the Bizzies hand over their mounts.
So the Franks decided to block the path to Ravenna by occupying a large hill in one corner of the map. Once deployed they waited for the Bizzie's to close. Then they charged off their hill into one almighty melee, which the Frankish warbands and cavalry eventually got the better off.
Great game which I think both H and I really enjoyed.

yes , great game, where the second class roman foot turned out to be pretty good , shielding the war bands from the usual smash up by heavy horse
of course in real life, a fantastic offer would have been made, and i would now be Emperor in Ravenna, with Stew appointed Major Factorum....
well, until the assasins got to him
cheers !

Ha ha!
So it seems both of you will retreat one step away from Ravenna though.
The two games between Armchairbaron and myself are on a summer break: will be resumed beginning of August.

Round 7: attack declarations
Posted: Sun Aug 18, 2024 6:41 am
Who would have thought this tournament would go the full length? It seemed very likely for someone to reach Ravenna already in rounds 5 and 6. But now we're here, in round 7, finally! 
Normally the attacker decides on which army lists to use. But since this is the last round, alternatives are limited to one or sometimes even to zero so the following applies:
Normally the attacker decides on which army lists to use. But since this is the last round, alternatives are limited to one or sometimes even to zero so the following applies:
- kronenblatt can only attack with Visigoths now, and Stew101 only with Huns.
- heidipie and Armchairbaron cannot select their only remaining attacking army list of Visigoths, since kronenblatt is already attacking with it, so their defenders will select their which army lists to use in the attacks.
- kronenblatt (+19): Visigothic 419-621 AD.
- Stew101 (-26): Hunnic (Western) 455-559 AD.
- heidipie (-26): Frankish 496-599 AD.
- Armchairbaron (-34): the defender Stew101 selects army list for attacker (from among those not already selected above, i.e., not Hunnic (Western) 455-559 AD, Visigothic 419-621 AD, or Frankish 496-599 AD).
- Attack declarations are posted in the tournament thread.
- Please post no defending army lists yet.
- Defenders will rotate clockwise for each new round, so each round sees new defenders.
Round 7: Armchairbaron to select heidipie's attacking army list
Posted: Sun Aug 18, 2024 9:08 am
=> Now it's Armchairchairbaron who as defender selects which army list for heidiepie to use in the attack (not Visigothic 419-621 AD and Hunnic (Western) 455-559 AD). If you have a chance to do that before going on vacation, it would be great.
Then Stew101 as defender will selects army list for attacker for Armchairbaron from among those not already selected above, i.e., not Hunnic (Western) 455-559 AD, Visigothic 419-621 AD, and the one Armchairbaron selects for heidipie).
