Battle set up. PM sent with PSW. Northern w/ Central ally vs. Southern w/ Guelf ally.

[edb1815]

The Northern army (TomoeGozen) attack on Genoa (19) has been defeated by the Southern army (edb1815) 66-43.

The Southern army deployed in a plain beyond 2 hills over which came the North. Not wanted to fight uphill the South waited anchoring one flank on a river and patch of woods. Once the lines engaged it was a fluid and chaotic battle with groups of knights from both sides charging through the lines. It was very close until the Southern knights regrouped and came back for charges from behind and on the flank of the Northern line. Well played and fun game.

[edb1815]

The Southern Army draws with the Eastern army in Cotrone. 55-49. Night fell after a hard fought see-saw battle that saw the Southern army standard wagon routed and a courageous Eastern army massed bow unit rally at the last moment saving the army from defeat. Well played by AKvGoeben. GG.

Well played to you good sir. Certainly a nailbiter! The capture of the standard wagon was surely decisive in staving off defeat for the Easterners.

AKvGoeben attacks kronenblatt, using the Eastern Army with Southern allies. Attacker province Benevento (11), defender province Capua (9).
=> kronenblatt defeats AKvGoeben 69-44.

[AKvGoeben]

kronenblatt's Central army with Arab allies attacks AKvGoeben's Eastern army with Southern Allies in Salerno. The Eastern army is victorious, winning 51-60. A very hard fought battle on all accounts, arguably decided by the Eastern army's massed cavalry on its right wing, which overwhelmed their counterparts and relieved the beleaguered infantry in the centre.

Well fought and GGWP to kronenblatt!

Rules state:
“In the case of only draws in a Conflict (i.e., no victors or losers), the provinces-at-stake are lost to other players (whether eliminated or not) in the campaign there were not part of the conflict, with the attacker deciding who to take control over the attacker province (as highest priority), and the defender deciding who to take control over the defender province.”

So regarding:

edb1815 attacks AKvGoeben. Attacker province Messina (2), defender province Cotrone (3).
=> edb1815 draws with AKvGoeben 55-49.

=> edb1815: does TomoeGozen or kronenblatt receive Messina (2)?
=> AKvGoeben: does TomoeGozen or kronenblatt receive Cotrone (3)?

[edb1815]

Kronenblatt receives Messina.

[kronenblatt]

With kronenblatt receiving Messina (2) and TomoeGozen Cotrone (3), the situation then looks as follows, as round 2 takes off.

[kronenblatt]

1. TomoeGozen (September 15)

  • SnuggleBunnies attacks kronenblatt, using the Central army with Arab allies. Attacker province Napoli, defender province Capua.

• Please look at attacks and conflicts in the rules.
