Gavin, given the dearth of pointy-stick options amongst the potential allies of the Song, I will put my faith in Uyghur (GaoChang) as allies. Thank you!

GentlemanRanker’s Tang with Uyghur(Gaochang) allies defeated ahuyton’s Zhou with Uyghur(Gaochang) allies by 60 to 39. The scores advance neck-and-neck until the last third of the game, with both left wings collapsing under sustained cavalry pressure. The deciding factor proved to be the greater avai...

What an intriguing mod - and with a refreshingly uncomplicated premise for the tournament! I would like to try my luck with the Tang 923 - 936 AD army please Gavin.

GentlemanRanker’s Spanish All-stars have successfully invaded the patrie of PeterThePainter’s French winning by 52 to 5. Learning from his previous mistakes [and the Snugglebunies’ vs awesome4 videos exploring this matchup], the Spanish general maxed on colunelas (12), and was thereby able to mop up...

Horror, infamy, disaster: SnuggleBunnies’ French defeat GentlemanRankers Spanish by 46 – 19. The splendid Spanish team, having fallen into the relegation zone, will be requiring a new manager for Round 4; it is to be hoped that whosoever takes up the challenge does a better job with this promising s...

GentlemanRanker (Imperialist) takes Savoy from GDod (French) by 64-35 The map presented a large tiered central hill, flanked by woodland on the Imperialist left flank; the French side of the board was relatively devoid of terrain features. GDod is a general for whom attack is the best form of defenc...

Ah, that's fine, 1518 it is then.

It is to be hoped that Steve will have smoothed the way by ejecting the pesky Scots by then!

Really Andre? I would have thought that my claim, timestamped ‘13 Feb 2023 11:48’ would take precedence over Steve’s at ‘14 Feb 2023 01:48’. No matter, mindful of the acuity of Alex’s analysis of the Scots’ potential, I happily waive my claim, fortunate perhaps to be able to slink away and avoid the...

I volunteer to lead the attempt to eject the uncouth, skirt wearing, offal eating, accursed Scots from our lovely sunny beaches, and send them packing, back to the dreary, dank realm from whence they had the temerity to emerge!

The magnificent Spanish-Imperial 1503-1533 army for me please.

I think that for many of us old P&S grognards, the ideal P&S2 would indeed be an update of the current game, with the known bugs fixed, and UI and artwork improved to the standard of FoG [personally I would love to keep the 6mm tabletop feel of the graphics]. But it is evident that Slitherin...

The Archduchy of Austria has been retained for the Emperor: GentlemanRanker’s Imperial 1494-1519 army has defeated Doyley50’s Kalmar Union 1494-1527 forces by 10 to 42. Intending firmly to “hide in a corner somewhere” the Habsburg forces were gifted a good range of hills in their deployment zone, wh...

Brandenburg retained for the Protestant cause; GentlemanRanker’s German Protestant 1639-1648 army beat SpeedyCM’s German Catholic 1639-1648 force, by 58-22. The Protestant army deployed a defensive infantry line, anchored on a wood on the left wing, with most of the cavalry and a strong infantry sup...

A change is said to be as good as a rest, so I shall take to the field once again, this time in loyal support of the Holy Roman Emperor please.

[It's not you Gavin - honest!]

The interest shown in the Silk Road mods suggests that East Asian focused DLCs, for both FoGII and FoGM, might prove to be commercially viable.

Bohemia has been secured for the Protestant cause! GentlemanRanker’s German Protestant army defeats KiwiWarlord’s Catholic League force by 38 to 62 On a flat and fairly open map, the Protestant force maximised the available firepower, deployed well back, and awaited the inevitable onslaught. With no...

Upon the assumption that I manage ever to bring the situation in Bohemia to a just and satisfactory conclusion, I will campaign in the Rhineland with the newly reinforced army of Saxe-Weimar [Weimarian 1635-1643] please.

Shenanigans in Saxony: GentlemanRanker’s German Protestant 1618-1631 army beat PeterThePainter’s Imperialist 1619-1632 army by 14 – 49. The field of battle was bisected by a stream in the Protestant half of the field, with a large flat hill on the Imperialist’s left wing. The Imperialist general had...

The Protestant cause has managed to scrape another much needed victory against the Emperor’s illegitimate suzerainty- GentlemanRanker’s Bohemian rebels beat smjohnso77’s German Catholic army by 23 – 69. The field was dominated by a large central forest, both armies chose to deploy back towards their...

Phew! We got away with it again (just), GentlemanRanker’s well-fed nobility defeated GDod’s starving peasantry by 52 : 60. The pious nobles were blessed with a large hill, dotted with rough ground and woods, fronted by an ample forest. Landsknechts and massed arquebusiers formed up in a tight defens...
