Looked at your challenges in the Multiplayer Lobby, as it currently stands, and two things that you need to change:

1. Map type: You should specify map terrain (not pot luck) based on what is possible for the province in which battle takes place. If it's Dacia, then you can choose between North European Wooded and North European Hilly (see page 6 of rules).
2. Scenario: should always be Remove the Head, not Open Battle.

So please cancel the existing challenge and set up a new challenge. Thanks!

Already from the death of the Visigothic C-in-C (CaptainWalterSavage's), we will at the end of this round select new major factions to play.

In additions, through the special rule of Soissons (kicking in if its C-in-C is killed in battle at any time during the first two rounds of the tournament), Soissons now becomes the vassal of Franks.

The Suevians beat off the marauding Visigoths after a tough battle that they were losing (score was 35-32 to the Visigoths) by managing to hunt down the Visigoth CinC (two warbands and a unit of lancers) and run him down with a unit of light archers as he was routing away.

Sabir Huns win after cutting down the Roman CinC in an early combat, the score was 4-0 to the Romans but it was only turn 4 and the game had barely got going.

It's a good and relevant question.

As rules currently stand, it's always the defender in all attack types. However, it makes sense (as we do in other tournaments) to have whoever is "Chooser of map type" (which in the case of Raid and Revolt is the attacker) to set up the battle.

• it is the chooser of the map type who sets up the battle in the Multiplayer Lobby (not necessarily always the defender). Who that is will depend on the attack type, so look in Types of attacks in the rules to see whether it's the defender or the attacker.

• Score adjustment each round will also include -0.2 for each of the player’s battles that round in which his army’s C-in-C fell in battle. (This involves all of a player's battles, whether if he's playing as his major faction or a minor faction or foreign faction.)
