If I understand the Table correctly the Challenger of each Round is the Left Column so Round 1 Challengers are the Westerners, Round 2 the Easterners ?

Brian, I expect better from you. That's exactly what it says at the top of the columns.

Hopefully, you'll triumph. If not, I'm sure we'll come up with a solution.

There are three exceptions to the left column rule Brian

FOG2 round 2 Your wonderful self vs markleslie = you launch the challenge
FOGM round 2 lascar vs markleslie = lascar launches the challenge
P&S round 2 Your personable self again vs markleslie again = you again launch the challenge

Sorry, to be a little untidy but this was a table formatting problem due to some eastern players having to launch two challenges. Hence, I understand your question and as the English language always has exceptions I also feel vindicated!

You are indeed vindicated Gavin !
Thanks for posting and a BIG thanks for setting this challenging & very interesting Event !

The draw has been done.
Key facts

• The draw was random except for the following

• If a Eastern player was chosen for the extra match within each round they couldn't be subsequently chosen until all eastern players had been chosen.

• I removed myself from the extra games for P&S to give myself time to collate results and interesting observations and statistics

Bonus: Each team may change one match-up within each period (not round) i.e FOG2 FOGM and P&S = 3 possible changes. The order the changes are processed will be by random selection.Changes received after 1200 GMT 3.4.22 will not be processed

I hope my table is understandable. Good luck to all. Let the games begin (that is...at 1200 GMT 3.4.22)

I have a query concerning my two P&S games, the game that I am least familiar with.

I'm assuming Danish Imperial 1523-1542 is Danish 1523-1542 in Extra Nations V3?
Ottoman 1550-1650? In Extra Nations V3 there are six lists that cover this period but none are that specific list.

1550 - 1650 AD Ottomans, dates to be advised

I presume he'll let us know before 3rd April

I also assumed that Danish Imperial 1523-1542 is Danish 1523-1542 in Extra Nations V3. So, take that as a yes.(as in Danish from the Pro-Imperial list rather than the Anti-imperial list) I haven't checked to see if they're different but I'm sure they'd be the same. (probably just didn't know what side they were on)

Ottomans 1649 - 98 if that is legal under your rules Gavin ?

Yes, Brian. If your list covers the year 1649, then it's legal under the cut off of 1650

Just a note to clarify the Bonus where each team may change one match-up within each period (not round) This enables a team to substitute a drawn opponent and army for a more desirable match because the random draw meant a player is fighting the same opponent too many times over the tournament, or for any other reason they deem advantageous.

I want to issue my challenges and set up the games.
Where do I find the game parameters for army size, terrain, ect..!
I just want to make sure I do the set up right!
Thanks, Don/gort7078

Questions:

Is it possible to look at army lists in Pike & shot without setting up a multiplayer game?
What is the current end date for the P&S lists?
What will be the point limit/ map size on matches?

We'll fit you in Mark. I'm sure we can rustle up another player to even it out. Choose your region and lists, and either PM me or post them on the thread

• You can go through the motions of creating a multiplayer skirmish then just bin it (on the left of your challenges screen)

• I think the latest end date for some lists are around 1690's

• Games are medium/ pot luck but can be changed on agreement with your opponent. you may want agricultural (as some terrain can create an undesirable game for both players)

This is the only explicit guidance I've seen.

The game parameters are detailed on the campaign map published previously Don. Third and fourth paragraph below states:-

Medium/Pot luck terrain (unless by agreement)
Games can be launched all at once, round by round, or in any order by the challenger but may be taken up as desired by the challengee.

You will need to consult table1 for the match-ups (who challenges, the lists and opponents)

Gavin,

the English invasion of the Baltic Empire of the Teutonic Order has commenced. We have sent a lightly equipped mobile force to harass and destroy the plodding forces of repression and Catholic orthodxy.

Gavin,

Thanks for all your efforts in organising this can we just make things slightly more difficult by proposing a swap. It seems unfair that Dooley50 should have to be thrashed 3 times by Carpenkm so we would like the fourth round game between Dooley50 and carpenkm swapped with my game with Kiwiwarlord. Just to share the pain amongst the Eastern team you understand. My Grenadines 1232 can take on Dooley's Danish 1320 and Brian's Crusaders 1155 can take on Carpenkm's English.

Carpenkm is still having problems with the Storm of Arrows DLC but hopefully that will be resolved soon.

If this is not clear please let me know.

1 of 3 allowed changes. Confirmed and updated Peter. Other players please note highlighted change.

You may now lodge challenges (To make the most of the weekend). The best of luck to all. The plodding forces of repression and Catholic orthodoxy are hurrying as fast as we can Andre!
