I have no problem but 2 Adidas Byzantines?

I don't want to comment, but what's wrong with that? (And why 'Adidas'?)

[ericdoman1]

Nike and 2 armies that are nearly identical.

Again I have no problem with it. Just thought that having 10 different armies would be good.

[Davidpouch]

I'm Dave from Leeds. I'm up for this, with my early Bizantines. They are 500 pionts, that ok?

Hi Dave

It's 550 points

[steve-h8]

Welcome Dave we have our 10, will post Fixtures on separate thread called UK 5 fixtures and results.

[Davidpouch]

Good and thanks. I'm new to this, so please brief me on how this works.

[Tiavals]

We are to play against each other in the first match, so I've made a game Davidpouch. (see details on the UK 5 fixtures thread).

I'm assuming Double Moves and Fog of War are both On.

You'll be taking the match I have posted. Use the password on the other thread and spot my challenge in the multiplayer lobby. We will then battle, and then we will calculate our points based on the rules in the first post. And then next week there'll be another match against someone else, I believe.

You would be wise to pay attention to the kind of army I can make, and make a suitable counter for it, as I am deadly, and some others are even deadlier later on!

[steve-h8]

Thanks for that Tiavals could not have put it better myself and your right in saying Double Moves and Fog of War are both On.

Cheers

Steve (Dailami Buyids) 39/38 vs eric Later Slavs (27/46)

That was one tough game. Steve could have quite easily got a draw from this but decided to make a game of it instead.

I actually received more casualties than inflicted.

Cheers

[steve-h8]

After quick chat with Eric have decided on the points you get from break %, will round up if its over 5% and round down if its 5% or under. Hope thats clear!

Cheers

Still waiting to hear results on these games

Nakedcelt: Pergamenes v Ironclad: Palmyran
kme37158: Dominate Roman Eastern Late v mcpeake: Khurasanian Saminid

Could you report on your progress as I would like to post new games!

[Ironclad]

I must be going crazy!

Yesterday I finished my game with Nakedcelt (a win) and submitted a post on the fixture list thread reporting it as a 14pt win (2 win, 10 break and 2 camp).

Yet today that win no longer appears on my game end list in FOG as it did last night - instead the game is showing as still in play a few turns earlier than it ended (at least in terms of unit positions and score - I can't recall the exact number of turns it reached) and there is no post from me on the thread. Now I can understand the latter being cocked up but what about the former?

I'm totally bemused.

Nakedcelt - did you see any of this yesterday?

[Tiavals]

The Slitherine servers were hacked. See the main page for more info. As a result, a lot of data on the forums and the game servers have been reverted to some 24 hours earlier.

[Ironclad]

Thanks Tiavals I just read it. So I'm not crazy after all! The games have reverted to the position as March 5th which would explain my missing turns/ending and the lost post.

Steve - Assuming Nakedcelt concurs I assume we use the actual result which I'll post again (He and I can decide what to do about the restored game - play out as friendly or end as resignation).

Hi all

Let’s hope things can get back to normal after all the trouble on the system.

It seems that mcpeake is not responding to his games, I have PM him and he has not got back to me yet.

Cheers

Steve

Hi David,

In case you've missed my PM, a challenge awaits you from the Palmyrans. Pw UKL5
