Ian your challenge has a persian army, thought this was supposed to be greek vs greek.
My Greeks are willing to take on your persians but you might want to set a new challenge with a greek army

What's a Grecian urn?.....

I tried that as the full password but it was too long!

Good to know someone likes the old jokes as well as me.

Posted a challenge for JayRaider: raider

TheGrayMouser 39/55

iandavidsmith 36/50
vs
deadtorius 60/60

Iandavidsmith: Victory (Losses 72% vs 100%)


Bad luck and bad dice rolls plagued Dead's moves , which is kind of
how i like my opponents to be. The bugger plundered my camp though.
I don't remember any generals being lost.

Thanks for the game Dead , i hope your luck is better in the LT Campaign
for my sake
Cheers

PG vs Blathergut

PG: 14700/5972 55/49 Loss and an IC and an FC killed.

Blathergut: 20100/3954 Win (displays those two commander heads from PGs army)

Was an interesting one. PG had one slinger who killed everything that hit it!! My dumb troops couldn't even hit the derrieres of PGs troops when we charged their behinds!! **Give glasses to the file commanders**

Most of my greeks are heading home on their hoplons - I never seemed to get anywhere with this battle.

No generals died, when things looked bleak The unlucky leaders decided to ride clear of the victorious horde, seemed like the best thing to do. I did manage to rout 5 of his Spartans, one has to take ones minor victories where one can when the virtual dice don't like you. So far in the other campaign none of the allied foot have engaged the enemy, just a few cav and your general is safely behind the front line of your troops so no worries there.

Ok, our battle is finished and the civil war has been ended

Archie against Finir.

52/50 Archie
27/52 Finir

As i remember, no extra points. Archie can you confirm?

It was a very nice game. Thank you

a long battle, but the spartan contingent did all the difference...

petran1978 8/54
vs
pijusmagnificus 49/48



All generals managed to survive.

Archie against Finir.

As i remember, no extra points. Archie can you confirm?

At the end, I had routed 2x field generals, and you had routed a troop general. If it had carried on a few more moves, I sure you would have bagged the lot!

Thanks for the game.
