Hopefully not discombobulated by my recent honours after Preston - Can I ask; under the new rule change why is Co Durham now yellow?
Kelen's raiders passed through but did not stay for one turn - does this not mean it is still blue?
Parliament just fought 1300Royalist - 1050Parliament but I thought you had later recalculated Parliament should have been at 1100 for this very reason.

There is a fine hot pot, with optional red cabbage side,in it for the right answer.
Otherwise it is just 'Blind Scouse' and straight to bed young man!

is most perturbed that while he was away from the city of Oxford picnicking, hunting, and generally behaving in a Regal manner with the good gentlemen of that fair city, a horde of butcher's boys, apprentice bakers, and purveyors of lighting products did enter that fair city and despoil it with their riotous behavior.

Therefore his Majesty with all his great wisdom has commanded his forces to immediately liberate that city and return it to its rightful status as the King's home, and the home of his loyal gentlefolk.

The unwashed, and obviously putrid, rabble currently in the city are advised that should they wish to withdraw to the South into Berkshire, they may do so unmolested. They may take their arms, and their legs, their bibles in the common tongue, their ill-fitting suits of coarse wool, their ugly women, and their even uglier nags with them. Failure to withdraw forthwith will be considered full treason and punished in the prescribed, and extremely painful, but entertaining to watch, manner.

Be warned the Kings patience with these rebels grows thin,

Andre Devereaux,

Duke of Cornwall and Devon

By command of our beloved King Charles, the King's Own Loyal Regiment, formerly the Duke of Gloucester's Fleet of Foot, have decided to ensconce themselves in the lovely County of Buckinghamshire (8) ready to support our victorious sweep into London and the South.

Kingi (1000pts) vs Grumpy (1050 + 180 pts reinforcement) (reinforced battle for defender) in 3 agricultural terrain

If

Kingi (1000pts) vs Grumpy (1050 + 180 pts reinforcement) (reinforced battle for defender) in 3 agricultural terrain

and Grumpy must be reinforced by Ulysis
then
Does that mean Snuggles is reinforced by me up in the North?

Is Kelen vs Snuggles 1150 vs 1230 respectively?

Seems unfair as he does "occupy " a county(the one I just vacated) it seems the vagaries of the rules means you need to sit on you last county for if you and an enemy walk past each other, you just lose.....
He should get a chance to fight methinks...

Kelen2 wrote:Couple of points.

1) How is Grumpy reinforced? I thought armies reforming due to losses the previous turn couldn't reinforce, Ulysisgrunt is the only adjacent friendly force and he's reforming. Correct see amendment

2) Damatrois hasn't moved so surely he is a defender as well? Correct see amended battle post

3) a) How is it that Yongr will have to potentially fight LFDM for 9 when is he occupying it unoppossed? No... LFDM can only leave the county if he wins the battle against Brent. If Richard had entered LFDM's county in the first part of the move then I would agree that he has exited the county and could not return but it is Richard's second part of the move (I tend to look at each part of the move and resolve the issues before actioning the next part) I understand that ownership now changes at the end of the turn, but it seems a bit unfair that Youngr will have to fight LFDM if he loses his fight against Brent.
b) I know that GDod has said that LFDM will have to fight as a flying column but will he still get his full 1050pts? (considering that he would have lost at least 40% of his forces fighting Brent!) Sorry my mistake no flying columns involved. Yes, this is an anomaly that two battles may need to be fought in the same cycle and the rules do not account for casualties for the first battle... we assume that he reforms from hasty reinforcements from the King, garrison detachments, conscripts and royalist deserters
c) If LFDM loses against Youngr does he then get to retreat into 26? So he would have lost at least 40% of his force, twice, and yet would still get to defend 26 with a full 1000pt army. Lucky him but he will have to remain sttionary
Potentially if LFDM loses against Brent (but causes 25% casualties to Brent) and wins against Youngr, he could end up pinning 2 armies the following turn (a huge tactical advantage) even though no counties have changed hands. Sorry but seems to me unduly lenient. Also this would now seem to make it very hard to force an army to disband. I agree Kelen, but let's play with the rules as they are this turn and see if Brent looses or LFDM looses twice without doing too much damage and ensure the anomaly is addressed next cycle, sorry I can't foresee all possibilities before they happen Kelen but we can remedy them as we did the flying column county claim jump
