Awwwwww

The Syracusean excursion laid on by the Tyrant for the blood sports devotees amongst his citizenry will now have to be cancelled as the hoped for early bloodbath between the Campanians and the Roman upstarts appears to have been cancelled due to the Campanian army running away (sorry, I mean " strategically redeploying ") south east.

Thirteen battles (all Type B) to be fought this round, i.e., all to be set up by the defenders (in bold) below (by December 29 at latest) as follows:

• Module: VV: Bellum Italicum v3 (please note: version 3!).

• Scenario: Open Battle.

• Map size: Medium (32 x 32) (since Type B).

• Map type: as specified below (since Type B, it's the terrain of the hex in which the attacking armies are located).

• Force size: 1200 FP for each side, subject to adjustments (e.g., if attackers are bringing Mercenary as allies or main army).

• Main armies and allies:
  • Attackers: please advise to the defenders which army and ally (if any) you're bringing, normally your culture but Mercenary as ally or main army is allowed (at FP penalty: -25 FP if ally, -50 if main army), and those of you who own Towns or Cities of other cultures can now bring these as allies (and, under certain circumstances, even as main army).
  • Defenders: main army as specified below, with no allies allowed.

• No map re-rolls.

• The winner, or the player having incurred the fewest casualties, reports the results in this thread.

• Battles to be concluded and reported within four weeks, i.e., by January 26 at latest.

The battles:

1. Volturnum: kronenblatt versus SpeedyCM (Campanian), Mediterranean Agricultural
2. Narnia: Aetius39 versus shane30 (Italic Tribal), Mediterranean Hilly
3. Asculum: GeneralKostas versus deeter (Umbrian), Mediterranean Hilly
4. Ariminium: Rosedelio versus dragmio (Umbrian), Mediterranean Agricultural
5. Venusia: dim30 versus Giacofa93 (Italic Tribal), Mediterranean Hilly
6. Agrigentum: Giacofa93 versus batesmotel (Greek), Mediterranean Agricultural

devoncop is withdrawing from this tournament, which means that army #4 is now available for a new player entering, as Syracusan culture and starting out of any of Syracusan Towns or Cities along the Sicilian east coast (i.e., Catania, Megara Hyblaia, or Syracusae itself). Please PM me if you're interested.

1. Volturnum: kronenblatt versus SpeedyCM (Campanian, no allies), Mediterranean Agricultural.

@SpeedyCM: I will be using Campanian with Latin allies.

Thus 1200 FP for me. If I had brought Mercenary allies, I would have fought at 1175 FP (since -25 FP penalty) or if fighting with Mercenary main army with 1150 FP (since -50 FP penalty).

Since I now own the Latin Town of Tarracina, I'm allowed to choose Latin as allies (in addition to Mercenary). Should I come to own Roma as well, I'm allowed to choose between Latin and Roman allies (and no allies at all, of course, and Mercenary allies at -25 FP penalty). And so on.

@kronenblatt: Game is setup, pw- camp

@carpenkm: I will be bringing plain old vanilla Carthaginians to our little shindig.

4. Ariminium: Rosedelio versus dragmio (Umbrian), Mediterranean Agricultural

@dragmio I'll be using only the Gallic army.

Terventum: carpenkm versus Karvon (Samnite, Mediterranean Hilly

No allies for me Karvon - thanks

You mean when creating/accepting challenge or when looking to make in-game download?

Version 3 should be available in-game for download. You don't have it already downloaded?

markleslie will be taking over Syracusan #4's holding in Sicily, with Catania as capital and Tauromenium as spear-won land. Army strength to be the same as the other players arriving later, at 1462 FP. Welcome, Mark!

This means that there's another battle to be fought:

14. Messana: markleslie versus Aetius39 (Greek), Mediterranean Hilly.

Venusia: dim30 versus Giacofa93 (Italic Tribal), Mediterranean Hilly


Hi Giacofa93. For this battle I will use epirote with apulian allies.

That was it - thanks Karvon

Battle set up for SpeedyCM pw Speedy
1200 pts both Carthaginian - hopefully that's correct
Good Luck

14. Messana: markleslie versus Aetius39 (Greek), Mediterranean Hilly.

Well met, I've cast aside the Arabs like an ill fitting suite and now wear the mantle of Syracusan with Greek allies.

To all, tidings from Sicily.

The former Tyrant, having been found dead in bed from obvious natural causes, has reluctantly released the reins of power. All mourn his passing and the hat has been passed around for the Ferryman's toll.

By acclamation of the poleis of Hellenic Sicily I, markleslie, now take up the heavy burden of hegemon. May Poseidon guide my hand.

Battle set up.
4. Ariminium: Rosedelio versus dragmio (Umbrian), Mediterranean Agricultural

pw: Rosedelio

@Doyley50
9. Scylletium: dragmio versus Doyley50 (Lucanian), Mediterranean Hilly

12 Populonia: Doyley50 versus TheGrayMouser (Etruscan), Mediterranean Agricultural
