HOML Medieval 9 Challenges.

Challenges.
All matches are Mirror match, 1600 points, Wide map, Open Battle.
The Away player sets up the match. They can choose any historical opponent to the Home army EXCEPT that same army or your own Home army. If you leave ‘DATE’ and ‘GEOGRAPHICAL’ checked that will give you the list of valid armies that you can use. The Home player should check that their opponent has used a valid army, invalid matches will have to be replayed.
So look your name up, then look along the row. The players you set up the games for are in red and you use their chosen army and an Historical opponent for that army. You do not set up games for your own Home army.
There are NO Allies for either side.
Use the map that the Home army has selected, or ‘Pot Luck’ if they have not selected one.

Players are allowed one map reroll each. You do not need to consult your opponent, just set up the game again exactly as before and PM your opponent. But only one reroll per player per match.
If both of your opponents to your HOME army select the same army, then you can require the second challenger to use a choose a different army. This is to avoid playing the same match up twice. If we are well into the league you might want to PM an opponent before setting up the match to avoid this.

The competition runs from 11th October - 21st December (10 weeks). There will be no extensions, all results must be posted by the last day.

You must set up one challenge in the first week (that is one of your two Away mirror matches). Post in this thread and PM your opponent.
You must set up your second challenge by week 6.

Please respond to all challenges within a week, either pick them up or let the challenger know when you will start.
If you don't get a response to a challenge within a week then PM me.
Once a game has been started all turns must be returned within three days, unless by prior notice. Players would generally be expected to average a turn a day or if it suits faster.
If a challenge is not posted on schedule AND the results are not posted by the end of the competition OR if players don't respond to PM's from me then the game will default to their opponent.

All matches are Ranked, Allow Restarts, Mirror.

If you have not played in the HOML before please read the rules.
If you have any questions then ask before you start setting up games, every season some players are not not setting up the right challenges.
Please check that your opponent has set up the challenge properly before starting to play.
