2b is already set up by TomoeGozen, as attacking raider. It's probably 2a you've set up or should set up?

No worries, I have plenty of games on the go to keep me busy.

Aetius39 (Romans 1) defeats TomoeGozen (Lazyges) 43-12

Very unfavorable terrain for the barbarians, which made it even tougher. They did get a few good kicks in though!^^ GG!

Aetius39 (Goths) defeats Doyley50 (Roman IV) 41-5

Goths got a bit lucky in routing the Roman cavalry early and their warbands, which are dicey at best, held up long enough for other Goths to knock out enough Roman auxiliary units on the flanks. GG and thanks for playing!

4a. Conquest: Doyley50 (Romans IV, 1552 FP) attacks kronenblatt (Romans II, 1556 FP) in XVI Thracia.
=> kronenblatt defeats Doyley50 45-12.

2a. Conquest: TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1559 FP) attacks Aetius39 (Romans I, 1568 FP) in XXVI Arabia.

Aetius (Romans I) defeated TomoeGozen (Romans V) 43-17

Much tougher, closer, and tactical battle than the score looks. Seemed to be a close match until the end, a weird map with rough hill terrain and a small open area in the middle contributed to this as the normally open melee legionaires had to do a bit of maneuvering. GG as always!

4b. Raid: Doyley50 (Goths, 1600 FP) attacks kronenblatt (Romans II, 1556 FP) in XIX Asia.
=> kronenblatt defeats Doyley50 43-0.

1a. Conquest: Aetius39 (Romans I, 1568 FP) attacks kronenblatt (Romans II, 1556 FP) in XIV Dalmatia.
=> kronenblatt defeats Aetius39 62-58.

Additional provinces changing control
The rules state that: "A player whose Roman faction controls only one province or less at the end of round (with each looted province counting only as 0.5) has lost and is eliminated from the tournament, his provinces taken over by the neighbouring Roman faction with the fewest controlled provinces (as calculated before any new such provinces are gained)."

Since TomoeGozen only controls 1 province (Syria XXIII), he is eliminated with Syria XXIII being taken over by Doyley50. Many thanks, Dave, for participating: I've enjoyed our games and talks and I hope you have as well.



Force point (FP) adjustments for next round
1. Doyley50: -25 (20 - 45)
2. kronenblatt: -38 (20 - 58)
3. Aetius39: -42 (20 - 62)

Order of attack declarations:
1. Doyley50: -25: Nov. 22
2. kronenblatt: -38: Nov. 23
3. Aetius39: -42: Nov. 24

Each player shall make two attack declarations upon other players' Roman factions (see Attacks in rules):
I. One conquest attack by his Roman faction.
II. One raid attack by any non-Roman faction.

Once attack declarations have been made, battles are resolved simultaneously during a three-week period.

Please note that:

• A number of provinces are now looted by certain non-Roman factions (see earlier post and map), with provinces looted from land raids allowing for raids deeper into the Roman empire by these factions.

• Attack declaration shall be made in posts in this thread.

• Rules are found in second post of this thread.

• Date (midnight CET (Rome) time) above indicates deadline, after which opportunity to declare attacks is forfeited and the player next in line may declare attacks.

• If a player above has announced his attacks, then the player next in line is free and is encouraged to announce attacks too, up to his deadline, i.e., if the players before you have announced attacks, don't wait for your deadline to announce your own attacks but instead do so speedily so battles can start as soon as possible.

The following provinces are now considered looted (as highlighted by lighter colors in the map below)
Arabia XXVI. Cappadocia XXI. Dacia XI. Moesia Inferior XII. Aegyptus XXX. Agri Decumates VI. Thracia XVI. Mesopotamia XXIV. Macedonia XVII. Bithynia et Pontus XVIII. Galatia XX.

Aggregate occurrences of Roman factions' C-in-Cs having fallen in battle
Aetius39 2. kronenblatt 2. Doyley50 1.

Non-Roman factions that cannot make attacks upon certain Roman factions this round (due to losing battle)
Sassanids upon Aetius39. Goths upon kronenblatt.

Force point (FP) adjustments
1. Doyley50: -25 (20 - 45)
2. kronenblatt: -38 (20 - 58)
3. Aetius39: -42 (20 - 62)

Please note the following

• Battles are resolved simultaneously during a four-week period of Nov. 22 - Dec. 20.

• The defender in Conquests and the attacker in Raids creates the challenge, also deciding the map terrain for the province in question.

• All battles are 24 turns, 40 x 32 and use Remove the Head (i.e., the battle will end also when one side’s C-in-C falls in battle with that side becoming the loser).

• Only Aetius39, the current controller of Italia XIII, is allowed to select Praetorian Guard units in his battles.

• No map re-rolls are allowed.

• Make sure you have An Empire in Flames v2 module downloaded and installed.

• When setting up the challenge in-game, in Multiplayer Lobby under My Challenges, through pressing New Challenge and then Create Skirmish, choose Select Another Module, mark An Empire in Flames v2 and click LAUNCH. The factions can now be chosen for the battle when creating the challenge.

• The defender reports the battle result once concluded: who's victor and loser (if any), always specifying the incurred casualties and whether any faction's C-in-C fell in battle.

Enjoy! Any questions? Please post them here.
