Re: (L) and (FF) mean what?

I thank you all very much for your responses. They were quite helpful.

Without meaning to cast aspersion on anyone, I hate this army list. There are 39 different listings, and you're not allowed more than three of any of them, mostly they are one or two each.

Re: Comments on Hungarian tournament

Made it this far and got a timeout, on turn 13, when I was ahead 49-34. Sigh.

Kudos to my opponent, who made a heroic effort to help me get through enough turns on the final day. I do appreciate it.

(L) and (FF) mean what?

Force selection for this 5th round of the current tourney has got me really frustrated and confused. On the Hungarian side, both the Knights and the MaA have two versions, one with (L) and one without. On the Ottoman side, there's an odd extra key at the bottom of the army list saying "Use FF&q...

Same here with FOG2 Ancients and Medieval. I logged in and played earlier today, but cannot do so now.

Comments on Hungarian tournament

Whoa, those Varangian Guard units are formidable. Heavy Foot, Highly Superior, Well Armored, Heavy Weapons At 87 points, I suppose they damn well better be good, but still. The Standard Wagon is a weirdness. If you haven't read the rules about it, I respectfully suggest you open up the manual, hit C...

FOG-M has a new karaoke module?

Banner at the top of the page says "New tournament open for sing-ups"

I mean, it's a cool idea, I'm just having trouble imagining how it works. Then again, back in the glory days of the USSR they had the Red Army Men's Choir...

Re: Field of Glory II - Seleucid Tournament

I've been having some flakiness with email notifications. Sometimes I get the notifications and sometimes I do not. Yes, yes, yes, there goes up a great cry of "CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER!", but I have done that, and also the Social and Promotions tabs. My opponent reported the same when I ask...

Re: Field of Glory II - Seleucid Tournament

The map for this round that's just ending now is a tricksy one. That Large Stream and the narrow pass with the cliffs on either side, those have introduced some unusual wrinkles. I confess I did not handle them particularly well on either side.

Re: Field of Glory II - Seleucid Tournament

We are having a roaring good time with the first battle, and I was moved to look it up, because the Lysimachids seem to be getting the upper hand on both sides. Near as I can figure, it's Corupedium. The wiki article says " Almost nothing is known about the battle itself save that Seleucus won...

Assign Light Troops to a leader?

What are the pros and cons of assigning light troops to a leader in the deployment phase, as opposed to leaving them unassigned?

Re: Field of Glory II - Umayyad Caliphate Tournament

I just looked at the map for the final round, and this is the most open map I have ever seen in an FOG II game. From the Umayyad POV, there are a few hills in the far top right corner, a few hills and a small wood in the far bottom-right corner, and some rough in the far top left corner. Aside from ...

Bedouin Light Horse

In the Umayyad tourney, Bedouin Light Horse are light cavalry, but with lance.

Does this mean they will not retreat before combat?

Re: Field of Glory II - Umayyad Caliphate Tournament

Much to my embarrassment, I timed out in round one. I was sick with the flu and not keeping up. I also got a penalty for not completing a sufficient number of turns (18, the rules say). But when I look at the scores from round one, I am seeing a lot of timeouts. My honorable opponent in round two al...

Re: ExCoB II - The Prophecy of Merlin: Upcoming

Is it too late to get some color changes to the map? I have been allocated to The South, and I can't see for squat what's going on down there. Specifically, the background color and the color of the text are too similar; there's very little contrast. For example, Calleva Atrebatum is not too bad, be...

Really annoyed that I did not get a set of messages about turns waiting from my Oppo I should have just logged on and checked anyway in the morning, but just checked tonight and two turns and no e-mails. Just a warning to folks as with this being a timed tourney... Bloody annoying... Yet as I was d...
