Locked in Doyley. PM me your lists when you're ready

Thanks, Gavin, for a new approach to our events.

I will take Rome and assorted Italians, please, so probably

P&S : Italian - 1494-1530
FoGM : Papal - 1200- 1319
FoG2: Roman - 219 BC - 200 BC

Sign me up as the Rus/Russians, thanks.

Here's a helpful link to regions and ethnic groups from 3000BC to 2013AD to help decide which armies you are eligible to include in your continuum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l53bmKYXliA

As Poland, I'm having difficulty finding a 1000BC to 0AD list as they simply state Baltic Slav tribes, though Scythia did border them. If no one objects I'll simply use Slavic 500AD-832AD List, which includes mainly irregular jav 1/2 swordsmen, some light archers and javelin men and 3 armoured and 3 protected horse. I doubt their earlier modus operandi would have been very different.

Latest Information 6 players have registered.

Sorry, Gavin, I had not realised that six lists were needed. Here are the rest.

FoG2 - Lombard 568-569 AD
FoGM - Papal - 1050-1154
PS - Savoyard - 1693-1698

The last choice is problematical. I am probably being incredibly dense but I can't find a Danish army in Extra Nations to fit the time scale. If I haven't missed something obvious perhaps I could take the Danish army 1649-1677 from Le Roi Soleil or any other that you feel is appropriate.

I can't seem to find a later Danish army either Alan. I can see using Le Roi Soleil is a reasonable suggestion but may be problematic for your opponents. Here's another option you could consider

On 6 June 1654, Charles X Gustav became the king of Sweden. This was a source of concern to Frederick, who considered that the new Swedish king's temperament would lead to much aggression. An opportunity came when in July 1655, the Swedish king started a campaign against Poland, the Polish War. This was a source of relief to Frederick, who was concerned about a direct attack on Denmark.[4] He saw this as a distinct opportunity, and with his power in the Riksråd secured, he was able to convince them on 23 February 1657 to grant significant subsidies for a mass military mobilisation for a strike on Sweden while their army was overseas in Poland. On 23 April 1657, he got permission from the council to attack Swedish holdings in Germany, and war was formally declared on 5 June 1657. However, this proved to be a mis-step for the Danish king - the Swedish army quickly abandoned their polish campaign and invaded jutland, and then marched quickly across the frozen sea to unexpectedly conquer the rest of Denmark in the March Across the Belts.
This was a crushing defeat for Frederick, who was forced to sign over almost a third of the territory he controlled in the Treaty of Roskilde. One of the provisions of the treaty was to renounce any anti-Swedish alliances, and a second condition was that Denmark must provide troops to fight in Sweden's wars, effectively making Denmark a Vassal of Sweden.

Hence, you could argue that from 1657 you could use the Swedish list. Alternatively, you could use any German list. Does anyone have an objection, or better suggestion?
P.S One more player would be ideal. If they happen to choose a western region, then Doyley/Denmark will move to the Eastern alliance.

If there is still space, i would like to give it a go. happy to play as England. haven't played much pike and shot so there should be a couple of easy wins for someone

I was wondering if we could use allies.
Is that still possible for FoG2 and FoG2M?

Thanks,
Don/gort7078
