Well, not sure terrain favoured you that much, most of your troops were cavalry & HI as well - but your flanking manoeuvers were efficient indeed. Thanks for the game & good luck

Division D Herode_2 (Kingdom of Soissons) beats Brenmusik (Slave Revolt) : 49/23 The battle remained uncertain for a while as the Slaves threatened Roman's flanks and offered a good resistance in the center. Eventually, professional soldiers overcame casual ones as it is almost always the case and t...

Herode (Soissons) defeats Blobka (Pictish) : 58/27

A close and hard fight, even if the final odds do not show it clearly (that's often the result of cumulative frags/routs after the 'breaking' point has been reached)

Thanks for the game and good luck for the next ones !

Division D Herode_2 - Kingdom of Soissons 461-486 AD defeats lydianed - Kappadokian 260 BC-17 AD : 46/16 The battle started late in the day, as Soissons crossed the map and moved towards the Kappadokians waiting for the attack on a good and wisely choosen defensive position. As Roman soldiers looked...

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm in this one.

Here is my armies list :

1 - Kingdom of Soissons
2 - Scots-Irish 50-476
3 - Pictish 477-850
4 - Romano-British

I can't find the deadline for applying (except Feb 1st when the Tournament begins). Is there one officially stated before 01/31 ? Point is : I have some preferences, sure, but they are still weak, as well as I'm a weak player ^^ and I plan to wait as long as possible and to apply to a division lacki...

I've just tried to play my 2 current games , and I'm in France - I've been able to load the MP lobby - even if it was a bit slow. - I've been able to play my turn without problem (which makes sense since the problem des not come from my PC or the installed game itself) - but after hitting the "confi...

Herode_2 (Seleucid 300-206 BC) defeats bcbarnesRR (Spartan 550-461BC) : 44 - 16
A clear terrain helped the seleucid phalanxes to optimize their potential. Thanks for the game !

Wew ! I confirm : my Seleucids have been lucky on rally rolls on the last turns ! BTW, Barry and his Romans had to fight hard until the conclusion (at t-3 or t-2 or so, the last screen does not show the number of turns unfortunately) That's the kind of defeats I love, a lot of fun for the looser :D ...

I've been surprised by the efficiency of Samnites on the field, considering their lack of heavy troops. Under skilful hands, this army is really impressive. And I don't believe in luck: victory only goes to the ones who deserve it :D I guess there will now be several players willing to try them next...

I won’t give youngr any more tips or training! What a beast!

More like a fortunate choice of army!

Nope. Choosing an army is part of the job, using it efficiently is the real main stuff. That's why FoG II is such a great game

Makes sense, but I also understand SLancaster's request. Maybe you could open a (single) free chat thread for the purpose ? I mean, the Rally Point is about (serious) discussion and questions about the tournament, the free chat thread could host any other free comments, just like people chating and ...
