• Engagement 2.1: Brito-Roman Army 3 (TomoeGozen) 1200 FP versus Welsh army 11 (Aetius39) 1200 FP. North European Agricultural. TomoeGozen sets up.

Battle 2

Units to be picked from the following army pools:



Please set up as follows in Field of Glory II: Ancients in accordance with rules' Engagements and battles:

• Conquestu Britanniae v2 module (downloaded for MP in-game).

• Open Battle scenario.

• 24 turns.

• 32 x 32 map size.

• 2000 FP force size for both armies, but only 1200 FP (adjusted for any effects from e.g. structures, such as controlled Forts nearby) are spent on units from the army's pool of remaining units, see below.

• Map type on the terrain as specified in the rules' Map terrain of engagements.

• Always Mercenary Warbands as allies (even if no mercenary units selected) with the actual number of mercenary units that can be used depending on the following:
  • A faction can in total select four plus twice as many units of mercenaries as the number of Mines that it controls at the beginning of the round, to be distributed among its armies during that round.
  • However, a maximum of six mercenary units can be used by an army in any individual engagement.
  • Examples:
    • If seven Mines are controlled by the faction, it can select up to eighteen (4 + 2x7 = 18) mercenary units as a whole for its armies during a round, but for no individual army more than six mercenary units.
    • If no Mines are controlled by the faction, it can still select up to four mercenary units as a whole for its armies during a round, distributed among its armies.

• 1200 FP worth of units (adjusted for any ally units selected from Mercenary Warbands) are thus picked from the following list so that 800 FP remain of the 2000 FP set up when the engagement begins:
  • Again, the 1200 FP may be adjusted (and correspondingly the 800 FP) due to e.g. structures, such as controlled Forts nearby.

Resolving and reporting the battles:

• Please create the challenge (with yourself always as Side B) by January 2 at the latest, and thereafter send a PM to your opponent and make a post in the tournament thread.

• Please conclude games by April 5 at the latest.

Aetius (Welsh) defeats TomoeGozen (British) 43-18

Closer than the score shows, there were a lot of fragged, damaged units at the end for the Welsh. GG as always!^^

[carpenkm]

Engagement 2.1: Brito-Roman Army 4 (Doyley50) 1200 FP versus Welsh army 12 (carpenkm) 1200 FP. North European Agricultural.

Welsh beat Brits 42 - 11

A bit unlucky. I rushed to get past the magic 40% and thankfully there were no rallies. I had two fragmented units in the main line and a flank begging to be charged elsewhere. One more turn and the whole battle could have swung back. Well played Doyley.

With the Victory Points of the Welsh faction exceeding 60 and the Romano-British army #3's army pool falling below 1200 FP, the campaign ends for two reasons.

The winner is the Welsh faction, played by Aetius39 and carpenkm!

Congratulations!

Hope you and the other participants enjoyed this first De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae campaign and its 18 rounds!

Thanks a lot Andreas for creating this nice tournament. It wasn't just nice as my team won; this is a genuinely nice map, and interesting period to play. Thanks again, and also thanks to my partner for making the Welsh great again.^^
