I play out of the US, FOG2. Each of my turns is either taking from 1-3 minutes to send or they fail. for those that fail, When I cancel out, I then find the turn has sent and it is in my opponent's cue. In the latter case, have my turns been sent accurately?

Have any of these ideas been considered for testing? Season 9 is upon us and I am getting prescription opioids to numb the pain when I suffer, and to hide the shame when I execute, fall back blocking gamey play. I'm already feeling bad that our games are going to be a pain filled experience for you...

Pete, I think you missed this part of desertedfox's post, In one game this tourney I had crazy good defensive positions, my opponent suggested I come out of it to fight in the open, where I pointed out to him I would be slaughtered. I asked for a map reset and desertedfox said no. Don't both player...

I am also doubtful as to the historical accuracy of the typical in game (mod or vanilla) use of lancers to walk up to infantry and stand there waiting to be charged. I suspect that it is a kind of unintended artifact of the various rules and POA matchups that more veteran players noticed, and then ...

The first time it was used against me, it felt wrong and aggravated me. Soon I realized the tactic was becoming common and I joined the bandwagon. Now, I just see it as a normal and expected part of the game. Doesn't bother me anymore. I do it as well because I must to play competitively. That I ha...

I do not really understand why it needs changing. It is annoying of course when opponents find ways to get an advantage, but that is the nature of a game and I think it is perfectly possible to rationalise what happens. Also I think that there are armies that need this tactic in order to have a cha...

Ah, how simple and elegant....if a unit is blocked from falling back it disengages and simply stays in its square..Are there issue with a fix like this? Is it a major coding challenge?

I will be happy to particpate, thanks for the invite.

I try very hard not to talk in terms of historical examples or tactical knowledge because I know much less history on the FOGII time periods compared to many of you and I know nothing about how men with swords, shield, spear, horse, etc actually fought. I know we have serious historians, writers, ho...

nyczar - Spartan 221-146 BC with Roman 280-220 BC allies defeats paulmcneil - Etruscan 330–280 BC with Samnite 355-272 BC allies 44%-16%

"B" = division "B" in the FOGII Digital League. I understand the potential issue with 24 point light cav being used to block fallbacks and cause cohesion checks given what I offered as a solution to the fallback blocking tactic. In the pre fallback fix days, I can imagine how a light cav blocking ta...

Final solution if no changes are ever made: just don’t do it, don’t ever believe a tournament or leagues rules “forces” you to do things you find to be cheesy. Its your choice how you play. Yes, I have considered this, but at my core I am a competitive person. I will use the tactic myself because t...

I am seeing this more and more in my league play: enemy units being use to block the fallback of an engaged enemy (usually cav) unit, allowing a flanking attack by another enemy unit. I first saw this play when I entered the "B" level ranks. I disliked it when I saws it. I disliked it after I learn ...

The important question now is just one, Did someone from Slitherine told anything about what they intend to do about that? I think that it has to be resolved by them before the new DL start.. It is under discussion. Remember that this blew up over a weekend, so they have not had much of a chance to...

To be honest one of the things that I love about Pike & Shot are the melees being conducted between player turns in a random order. My dream would be that FOG2 and Pike & Shot would conduct all combat between player turns. When you launch an impact attack it doesn't resolve until all movement is fi...
