Division E
Captainwaltersavage - Roman 24BC-196AD with Jewish 64 BC-6AD allies defeated texanotedesco - Arab 312 BC-476 AD 60: 57.
As the score suggests it was a very tight game. The Arabs brought a horde of medium infantry and camel archers against my legions and cavalry. Terrain was a dominant factor with a huge mountain range in the middle of the battlefield. The legions were unstoppable in face to face contact but the mediums avoided that at every turn and carried out lots of flanking as you might expect. Great game that ranged over the whole board.
(3-1)

Division B
XLegione (aka Stefano63) - Roman 105-25 BC with Numidian 55-6 BC allies defeated paulmcneil - Etruscan 330–280 BC with Samnite 355-272 BC allies, 62% - 59%
It was a very challenging battle, the higher number of the etruscans and their cavalry superiority created a lot of problems to the romans, at the end the higher quality of the roman units made the difference.
Great battle!
Thanks
XLegione

Division A
Nosy_Rat (Franks) defeats pompeytheflatulent (Germans) 43-11
Initially I deployed in fairly standart way (red line) - heavy infantry in the center, cavalry and irregulars on the flanks - expecting Pompey to contest the hill in the center. However, he decided to focus his offensive on my right and tried to seize the hill dominating that flank with cavalry and skirmishers while heavy infantry made its way around the big patch of rough ground and a skeleton force of some spearmen and archers supported by a couple of units of cavalry was left against my center.
At first I decided to contest the hill the hill on the right and started to move some infantry and lancers there, but after a turn realized that they won't get there in time, and instead used those forces ther to just tie the enemy (irregulars moved to forest, shieldwalls to the rough and to the nearby village, lancers moved away - in the end I've lost two units there, but tied up a slightly more numerous and expensive enemy force), while the rest started to fall back to the defensive position in the center (orange line). On the other flank my cavalry (probably unseen?) and infantry were moving to engage German forces there who were too slow to realize how badly they were outnumbered. When the threat of encirclement became obvious Germans tried to turn around and run to the forest for cover but it was one turn too late - Frankish cavalry with help from infantry from the center caught them just on the edge of forest and quickly destroyed that flank, routing six or seven units without any losses of their own. By that time main German infantry force still didn't engage my own infatry.
Infantry lines finally clashed, but now my inferior infantry had a fairly good position on the hill and my own dismounted lancers were evenly matched against their German counterparts in the open. their flank protected by rough ground (Germans don't have access to any medium foot except archers, big disadvantage imo). Germans tried to counter-attack through the narrow gap between the big rough ground patch and the forest, but by that time I've already dealt with what remained of their left flank and was able to turn around in time and flank that attack. And finally my own medium foot arrived to the rough routing the remaining archers from there and getting the enemy over 40% casualties.

Re: dkalenda has been expelled from the tournament for multiple re-loading of turns during his matches . . .
Good shout.pompeytheflatulent wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 4:59 pmIf we could get and publish the reload data for all of the games played in division A this season, would that tamp down on the paranoia and suspicion of cheating(at least temporarily)?stockwellpete wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:46 pm I was given the following details of the 99 excess re-loads match during the course of the investigation into dkalenda . . .

Re: dkalenda has been expelled from the tournament for multiple re-loading of turns during his matches . . .
This is a great idea in my view. If an opponent has problems and explains it the other party could accept it, ask for a restart or if it was excessive ask for adjudication. At least it would be transparent.pantherboy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 5:28 am I'm in the camp of MikeC. Just allow instances of reloading to be included in the pop-up dialog at the start of your turn. Shift the onus onto the player to explain the reasoning. By having the info on whether a redownload occurred or not a player will be able to analyze the replay for the frequency of unusual event before beginning their turn. For example if it happens in the first turn or two then obviously it will have no impact on the game and lends weight to any excuse. But if it is at a critical juncture of the game and a number of outcomes go the way of the re-loader than it would not be unreasonable to be suspicious. In such a case I would support the position that a player whose opponent reloads at a point in the game that they feel may give an advantage will automatically be awarded a win if they request one. Yes it could of been due to one's daughter switching off the PC (happened once to me while watching youtube) but that is still no excuse for affording your opponent an advantage whether sort or not.

Re: Larger armies right across the FOG2 Digital League?
I would prefer to know at the start whether the section is 1200 or 1600 pts. Allowing players to decide leaves this unclear. I can choose whether I want to join a section of a particular size (as long as I do so before the close date!)

Re: Larger armies right across the FOG2 Digital League?
Well, you will know what the default size of the armies will be - and if you choose that size then all your matches will be played at that size.
