To all concerned,

Since players have continued to muck this out in the open forum I feel compelled to make my response open also. I've read through all the forum postings and private mails that have been sent to me and will deliver my opinion later today once home from work. I don't care if you are an organiser or player from this point on I don't want to be reading anymore comments on this matter in the open forum. If you've got something to say then send me a pm.

Cheers,

Steve

Why is it such a bad thing that an issue that affects all players is debated on an open forum? This decision isn't just yours to make, since it effects everybody I think it only fair that viewpoints are aired so that we can all decide what the best course of action is.

To keep half the facts undisclosed is to invite an incorrect decision as nobody will know the entire picture.

I need to fight Medieval battles with:
Supervark
Razorback77
George123

I have 3 challenges up, use PW 'okie' please and we can finish these all up. Okie

Division B

stockwellpete (Tudors) 3/34 beat epos (Black Sheep Turcomans) 29/28

Division C result:

Jonathan4290 (Timurids) 16/33 defeats Razorback77 (Trebizonid Byzantines) 39/37

Timurid cavalry ran away like little girls from the knights on the Byzantine left and hit the weaker Byzantine right.

Division A
ianiow (HYW Cont. English) 48/43 versus pantherboy (WOTR Lancastrian) 50/65

batesmotel (Later Med. Polish-later) - 6/33
voskarp (WoTR-Richard III) - 50/43

Richard learned the hard way that forest is not the best terrain for longbows. Thanks for the game.

Chris

I've posted a challenge for Kilroy's Byzantines, password "byzantine".

Absolutely.

I think one could argue that this is the "Challenges and results" thread, anything else is off topic.

You could be right - have modified post...

My germans 29/48 beat SP's English 40/40.

Just seconds after the german v german final in England!

An interesting game. (Gnawing fingers rather than making any other comment!)

Chall for Turk, pw is marillion.

My three results so far here:
Div A
Moldavians 15/66 vs hidde (WOTR YPretender) 48/45
Moldavians 56/62 vs cheanh (Latin Greece Achaia) 51/50
Moldavians 11/70 vs ianiow (Eng Cont Late) 52/46

Division A
Lysimachos (Catalans) 43/46 hidde (Yorkists) 44/44

A nail-biter in open field where the Catalans were ultimately saved by repeated, amazing rallies of their Almughavar in the last 3 turns.

Hey Sharkall. You are doing a great job with the Moldies. I used then in the past, but never achieved your success. What's you secret?
Claymore

Has Caiko started any games as replacement for zumHeuriger (Classical div. B)?

Well, since we speak the same language, my troops understand me better! haha In the second match I was just lucky, that should have been a draw or worse. The other two were pretty much similar in style, but I'll have to wait until I start my remaining matches to share my battle plans I guess I could try to do an AAR of one of my next matches if I have the time, or otherwise we could play a game after LOEG and see it on the battlefield

Sharkall is extremly good with massed archer armies and has it down to a fine art. I doubt many could beat him with that style of army

Unfortunately (for me) in this season there are a couple of armies I can't beat no matter what Like pantherboy's WOTR Lancastrians, the Scots in Britain and increasingly likely the Medieval Irish well, maybe if I roll only sixes which I wouldn't mind, for sure ...
