Keep the buggers guessing eh!

I like it!

Glad you like my idea Mac and yes it will keep them guessing. No problems with me as im down the bottom of the ladder and like the idea of a sneak attack

Ah - i thought perhaps he had merely retired from moderating...

In that case, Batesmotel is next on our list. PW: 3rdtymluki

This season is going well with all challenges made except for batesmotel, who everyone seems to have attacked

cheers

batesmotel34 -Nikephorian Byzantines(early) - 25/38
phlewis Dailami(Buyid) - 30/30

Byzantine numbers and bow fire decided this. The Dailami lost a TC and an FC, no camps were looted. Thanks for the game.

Lord Chaldia is proud to announce a victory against the Great Turk
and his Saminid Horde.
A very narrow one at that with the Turk coming back from all odds
to nearly achieving a victory, only for a few sneaky Ghaznavid horse archers pillaging the
Saminids camp clenched the victory.

Yes a thrilling game which started very ordinary for me and i thought i was going to get a severe thrashing.Fortunatly my Dailami and armoured defensive foot held their ground and took it back to the Ghazis. My Cav were a huge disapointment and fought without courage and were soon running from the battle field. No doubt those Nellies scared the hell out of them Thanks for a great game Ian. Cheers Turk

Aristides,

I picked up the challenge and did my set up on Monday so it's been your turn since then.

Chris

Hi Macsen , my game with Turk is complete ,
See the post towards the top of this page ,
Cheers

Aristides Nikeforian byzantine(later) 43/39 vs Tiavals Komnean byzantine(mercenaries) 9/38

Nothing looted. No commanders killed, I think.

My unit composition happened to be a more or less perfect counter for Aristides, so the result was decided pretty early.

Posted challenge for Tiavals, password "tiaval"s.

Plus I have never seen ayone roll such consistently excellent dice as T! (I make no dark accusations, as this also happens during my own turns!)

Mr Lucky i callls him Yes its not meant to happen and luck isnt a factor they say. I respectfully disagree and think luck is an overwhelming factor in some games.

Turk1964 wrote:luck is an overwhelming factor in some games.

I have to agree - although it does seem the same players win competitions regularly...

batesmotel - Nikephorian Byzantine(early) 16/42
Tiavals - Italian Ostrogothic 48/44

Byzantines lost their camp, the Ostrogoths lost both their FCs who died heroicially trying to save their troops. The Ostrogoths deployed in two wings and the Byzantines were able to gang up on one while delaying the other Ostrogothic wing with light troops assisted by generous amounts of impassable terrain on that flank.

Thanks for a fun game.

Chris

Im sure ive already played Chris and Lost but i may be mistaken. It was Dailami vs Ghazanivads cant remember the score though.....
