Tah how do I tell that I only look at does it have hills, trees etc never knew you could tell its a desert.

Tah muchly

if it's beige, it's desert.

I know that but you cant tell that from the pick screen of 4, as with our game i had to go from memory and must admit it wasnt my map pick of choice of the 4

[rexhurley]

Rex Hurley (Gepids) 39/45 bt Turk (Italian Ostrogoths) 46/40.

[Turk1964]

Gday Solly in our game you have chosen a desert map.Rules say you must choose a green map so we need to restart. It also looks to be a Crowded map and Open should be chosen. I will reissue the challange password=restart

Cheers Turk

[fogman]

solly, turk is right, you may have entered crowded terrain. if so you need to redo your challenges with the appropriate settings. i won initiative and was able to choose a relatively open field but there are a couple of choices that looked rather crowded.

[Turk1964]

Thanks Fogman,just waiting for Solly to get back to me. Its an honest mistake hes just picked a map from the bunch presented to him to suit his army.Have PMd Solly aswell. Cheers Turk

[Turk1964]

Turk1964(Italian Ostrogothic) 21/40 def uheng1997(Maurikian Byzantine) 39/36

The Goth infantry quickly took control of a Small hill the only defining feature on the map.With Lancers Formed up on the left and right flank of knoll.Arush of blood from the Byzantine commander who sent his Cavalry on a brave charge to sweep the Goths from their perch.The Byzantine Infantry manouvered from the left Flank to Pen in the Gothic right Flank. A bloody battle ensued with the Goths holding the Hill until their Lancers turned the Byzantine army. A brave battle but in the end the Gothic Lancers were too strong for anything the Byantines could throw at them. Thanks For a very good game and well played.

Cheers Turk

The Ostragoths had a strong central position with their infantry on the hill but cavalry was split. The Byzantines tried to use maneuver to overwhelm the left flank. I think the only error i made was that when I shifted my cav from the right to the left I got to close to the central hill and got shot up. On the left the Byzantines had numbers and position but failed to execute before the holding force on the right folded.

eric (Avars early) 7/37 vs Turk1964 42/40

Mark had some really really bad dice

[fogman]

fogman (lombards) 0/40 vs turk1964 (ostrogoths) 2/40

the ostrogoths refused to leave the large hill they were on. the lombards grew tired of lobbing arrows at them and went home.

[ericdoman1]

eric (Avars early) 31/37 vs fogman (Lombard early) 40/40

Very close game. I got lucky to pick up the single bp I needed, otherwise it could have been a win for fogman or possibly a draw.

My mstae in game vs Solly I thought I could customize army.

Solly have pmd you, please cancel our game and issue new challenge.

[uheng1997]

uheng1997 (Byzantines early) 16/36 vs Mike48 (Italian Ostragoths) 40/39

Battlefield was mostly open with an oasis on the center right. The Byzantines ignored the 1/3 section and loaded up on the left and center. Ostragoths placed a contingent on the Byzantine right, but it was too far away to affect the battle. Byzantines charged up the middle and broke the Ostragoth center in a bloody battle.

[uheng1997]

Shout out to Rex....

There is still a challenge out there from me to you.

[Turk1964]

Solly i have reissued a challange for you. Could you please make sure you choose a GREEN Map if you win initiative. Password=restart

Cheers Turk

[Turk1964]

Turk1964(Italian Ostrogothic) 18/40 def iandavidsmith(Lombards) 40/40


A game where Ians Saxons performed dismally in the centre and must have brought rubber swords as they had very little effect on the Gothic Defensive Spear.Lancers on both sides fought well but when the centre held by the Saxons collapsed there was very little the Lombards could do.Thanks for the game Ian . Cheers Turk

[lydianed]

Solly, I've resigned the game and reposted with the pw byzzers. if you win initiative pls pick a green map. Ta, Jules
