Is there a place for the Ptolemaic army?

Yes there is, welcome aboard.

I am setting up the challenge for Cunningcairn with the troop selection set at 'Default'?
Is this correct?

Challenge up for Cunningcairn
PW: Cunningcairn
I used Default for armies; please let me know if this is wrong.

No you have to set up a battle for 76mm he has the Lysimachid army 320 BC, default force is right tough.
It's because Cunningcairn had started a battle already.

Thanks, I guess now I have to wait for the second year to start a battle, right?

So we have now fighting or soon started for 320 BC
Seleucid - Lysimachid
Antigonid - Macedon
Roman - Gallic
Ulysisgrunt please set up the battle and give the password. Seleucid 320 - Lysimachid 320.

Challenge posted for 76mm.

PW: 76mm
(I had said it up for Cunningcairn...)

Rhaaaa, I'm dead.
Romans (Hendricus) 16% - Gallic (Stimovsky) 13%

My center was opened, and my right flank about to be crushed before I could achieve anything decisive with my left flank attack.
Moral was the most important factor. While Romans took beatings but kept on coming, I experienced an early and fatal cascade rout.
General killed during turn 15. Damn Romans.

Gaul becomes ally of Rome. Roman Empire now has a strenght of 2. Gaul as part of the Roman Empire has strenght 1.
Gaul had no allies so the death of it's leader ( Littiossa ) has no effect yet. If they had allies the effect would terminate those alliances.

How are the other battles going ? Antigonid / Macedon and Lysimachid / Seleucid. Are they started yet ?

Antigonid and Macedon is well underway....but clash of Pikes over and around a central stream....my Macedonians are in some trouble I would say....

Latest update....Macedonian right in a mess but breakthrough in centre though only through risking C in C in front line pikes so could end suddenly

Macedonians now ahead but very fluid situation.

Lysimachid / Seleucid just started.

This a real marathon slugfest which should finish shortly. Great game of 2 halves i.e. left flank/ right flank not 1st half / 2nd half.

Expect a Macedonian defeat here guys........Cunnincairn lived up to his name. Elephants devastating and utilised Pikes really well. Only comfort is my C in C is still alive despite his Phalanx routing........

As sadly predicted above....a decisive win for Cunningcairns Antognids over Macedon 61% to 40% in a hard fought encounter...........

Congratulations and Happy Christmas for everyone (except the Macedonian General)

Thanks for a great game and a Merry Christmas to everyone including your Macedonian general

I've been traveling a bit which has slowed down my turns on the Lysimachid/Seleucid battle, but we are finally getting to grips now. Far too early to call at this stage.
