During the course of the trial I will listen to arguments that say the default size of the battles should be 1600pts (because larger sized battles won the poll) and that both players should have to opt for 1200pt armies to be able to play a medium sized battle. I do think it is incumbent on me to l...

Tough game for the Thracians as a couple of double drops and a chain reaction unhinged their line early. Thanks for the game.

In a way it's odd that Early Middle Ages has larger armies than Classical, when historically I imagine it would generally be the opposite based on what we know of army sizes. Based on my interest in pregunpower armies and I am sure I have read a few hundred books plus numerous magazine articles ove...

Good game, much closer than the score indicates. A forced redeployment due to an unexpected ambush helped the Thracians greatly.

Congratulations to Macedoncyzk. Playing him has convinced me that Arab Conquest is an even better army than my beloved Andalusians. And condolences to klayeckles who had to contend with a great army and a terrain map that did not help his Indo Greeks.

Closer than the score indicates. GG.

Most I've seen is 6 units rallying from rout over 2 turns (one turn for each player), I agree with SLancaster Pike's seem to rally from rout more than other units, I'm guessing because they are large units, fairly easily outflanked if not in square, easier to break with flank attacks early on, but ...
