We’re not there yet, Heidi. Waiting for Stew101 to pick army list for Armchairbaron and his attack, and then defenders will select their own army lists, to the extent possible.

for it, no worries , have plenty to do in the TDC as is

kronenblatt attacks with Visigothic 419-621 AD.
Stew101 attacks with Hunnic (Western) 455-559 AD.
heidipie attacks with Frankish 496-599 AD.
Armchairbaron attacks with Byzantine 493-550 AD.

Defenders selecting army lists (defender with best casualty difference first)

1. kronenblatt (+34): August 28. Stew101 attacks with Hunnic (Western) 455-559 AD. kronenblatt defends.
2. heidipie (+26): August 29. kronenblatt attacks with Visigothic 419-621 AD. heidipie defends.
3. Stew101 (+26): August 30. Armchairbaron attacks with Byzantine 493-550 AD. Stew101 defends.
4. Armchairbaron (-19): August 31. heidipie attacks with Frankish 496-599 AD. Armchairbaron defends.

Please note that

• You post defenders' army lists in the tournament thread.

• Date (midnight CET+1 (Ravenna) time) above indicates deadline.

• Once you have posted, please PM the player next in line, who will then be free to make his post, up to his deadline, so we all don't need to wait for each player's deadline.

• Rules are found in the third post of the tournament thread.

• You can defend with an army list only once during the tournament.

• You can't defend with the same army list that another player already has selected for his defense this round, that you're defending against this round, or that you are yourself attacking with this round.

• If the defender as per above has no army list available, then the attacker will select for the defender, among those not already selected that round.

kronenblatt defends with Lombard 493-567 AD against Stew101.

heidipie's remaining defending army lists are Franks and Visigoths, but neither are available due to him attacking with Franks already and defending against my attacking Visigoths.

So I select for heidipie: Gepids.

And Stew101 can't select his defending army list either, so Armchairbaron as attacker will select for Stew101 (with Byzantines, Lombards, and Gepids not available).

I selected the Franks for Stew 101 to attack.

That then leaves Huns for you to defend with.

1. kronenblatt (+34): August 28. Stew101 attacks with Hunnic (Western) 455-559 AD. kronenblatt defends with Lombard 493-567 AD.
2. heidipie (+26): August 29. kronenblatt attacks with Visigothic 419-621 AD. heidipie defends with Gepid 493-567 AD.
3. Stew101 (+26): August 30. Armchairbaron attacks with Byzantine 493-550 AD. Stew101 defends with Frankish 496-599 AD.
4. Armchairbaron (-19): August 31. heidipie attacks with Frankish 496-599 AD. Armchairbaron defends with Hunnic (Western) 455-559 AD.

Defenders set up battles (with themselves as Side B) as follows:

• Attacker's and defender's selected army lists, with no allies.

• Open Battle.

• 24 turns.

• Large, i.e., 1600 FP for each side.

• Wide, i.e., 40x32.

• Map type:
  • Defender selects map type if attacker is in tile I to III, with attacker selecting if in V to VII.
  • In tile IV, map type is agreed between attacker and defender, with fallback map type used if no agreement can be made.
  • Map is selected from among the ones below, depending on attacker's track (the first type being the fallback for each track):
    • Red track: North European Plain, North European Agricultural, Steppe.
    • Purple track: Mediterranean Plain, Mediterranean Agricultural, Mediterranean Mountains.
    • Yellow track: Mediterranean Plain, Mediterranean Agricultural, Desert.
    • Blue track: Mediterranean Plain, Mediterranean Agricultural, Mediterranean Mountains.
    • Green track: North European Plain, North European Agricultural, North European Wooded.

=> Game set up, with password RAVENNA

Enjoy!

Round 7 result.

Stew101 (Franks) defeats the invading Byzantines of Armchairbaron.

Result - 41 - 7%.

Nice open map with hills in the Byzantine centre and left, and extending forward to the Frankish right flank.
Both sides pushed forwards looking for a result.

The Franks got the better of the clashes, with there HI surviving some bad contacts with the Bizzie lancers, whilst their own warbands ground down the Byzantine legionaries. The few Frankish mounted nobles then delivered the coup de grace, finding some nice exposed flanks. Meanwhile the Byzantine flanking cavalry, on their left arrived just a tad to late to swing the result.

Thanks for the game Baron.

& my thanks to Andreas, for yet another really enjoyable campaign.

Best wishes all, Stew.

Armchairbaron's Hunnic army drew with heidipie's Frankish army. Score 7-22

heidipie gepids beat Kronnenbllate visigoths

the better armored Gepid horse routed away the gothic horse, though losing some units to Gothic foot. Goths did not have any spears or enough bowmen to again offset the Gepid fully mounted army

cheers to the Sky God !
