let them fight each other next turn then the winner can raid the following turn, that seems like a logical barbaric way to solve your problems...

So, where and when are you cursed barbarians going to cross the Rhine again to cross Spathas with us? The boys are getting bored of Garrison duty and mucking about with all your woman folk you left behind on you last tour

You wouldn't want Emperor Deatorius to feel completely ignored, would you. Besides the rules don't seem to allow us to come do any Vandalization in the west this yearTheGrayMouser wrote:So, where and when are you cursed barbarians going to cross the Rhine again to cross Spathas with us?

The 1st Eastern Army catches the Persians in the middle of their looting and pillaging....
First battle of Babylonia
Sassanid Persian (450 points) vs Eastern Roman Dominate (560points + 7 free poor Limitanae)
Eastern Emperor, see the limitations on your troop types; both sides need to select VERY OPEN terrain
A major Roman advantage...but think of the shame if they lost...and the casualty count is most important, the Romans cannot afford heavy casualties (ask the Western Emperor.....)
The Franks and Alemanni are either very coordinated, or very uncoordinated, and both cross into Franks. But there is a Roman army on their heels...reminder that if they catch them in the same province, the Romans will fight them one at a time, and will be able to retreat before the second battle if they choose....
btw for casualty calculation, Roman casualties will be spread with the limitanae, not all fall on the field force....the previous calc was a little harsh......

How long does it take for Limitanei to regenerate when they have lost points?

Do I have to take allies in this battle? Not sure if Babylonia is a province or ally.
Is my current prestige in the online x-cell sheet?
I can only hope that I get it right when I meet the smashandgrab Pee-sions on the field of glory

1) No requirement to take allies - only compulsory when you are fighting in Armenia or Arabs.deadtorius wrote:Do I have to take allies in this battle? Not sure if Babylonia is a province or ally.

2) Yes - your prestige is 3, you are limited in superiors and inspired general as per the sheet.
3) As Roman, you post the battle and inform Persia. Try to get it played asap!

After the battle, Limitanei casualties will be spread across the frontier, rather than concentrated in 1 specific province.batesmotel wrote:How long does it take for Limitanei to regenerate when they have lost points?

So will reduce number turning up for battle from current 4-8 as casualties mount.
[Probably realistic, but helps maintenance too!]

O most serene Emperor of the East, how fairs the battle vs the vile Assasinads?
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 2:03 pm
His most sereneness is adding many genuine Persian arrows to his collection but Imperial luck and numbers do seem to be telling.

Well , things shouldnt be that easy for a Userper (oops , i mean the rightious reastablishment of the legitimate eastern regime) 
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2011 10:32 pm
The Legitimate one from the East has been busy killing off many mounted troops. So far all is looking well, although the dirty Smashandgrab Persians have pulled ahead by a few points, something which I will try to remedy shortly after logging in. I do hope there will be a few of them left so that I can drag them through the streets of Byzantium for my upcoming victory parade

We all know who the real barbarians are!! 
Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 1:58 am
Yes they hide behind large colourful shields and try to pass themselves off as civilized types... and some of them even go by the name Barbariangut (translation of Blathergut from Vandal tongue to civilized speech)
so what were you saying about being barbarian......
Perhaps the Western civilized one can send a few of you over here for the gladiatorial victory games.

Has the Eastern emperor mopped up the Sassanid tourists yet????
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2011 11:47 pm
The Eastern Roman Empire announces that success is ours. My thanks to bastesmotel for sticking it out in a one sided game.
Final score
Roman 9/51 2192/14460
Persians 34/32 3017/9600
And now for the shameless propaganda campaign
Hear this you wretched Barbarians of the Eastern wastes, A mighty Persian force swept down upon our lands and was vanquished in a major struggle that lasted till the sun set upon the battlefield where the earth was soaked with blood. Under the skilful leadership of our mighty General Deadtorius, the Persians were sent reeling back across the border abandoning their plunder and leaving many of their warriors and horses dead or dying on the battlefield. Beware those of you who wish to venture into the lands of the civilized ones for death is all that you shall find here. Do not waste the lives of your men and children upon a pointless campaign that will drain your tribes of their men folk and leave your women defenseless against your neighbors, turn your attention to those unwashed smelly types who keep peeing in your water up stream and take their heads instead.
If you cross our borders be forewarned that you will only meet defeat and will end up in a triumphal parade, chained and forced to march before the citizens of Byzantium. The Gods have smiled upon the Great Deadtorius and he shall vanquish all who dare to oppose him.
Rather shameless of my propaganda department wouldn't you say?
