So it's been years since I played multiplayer or a tourney. How many games total do you think will be played? I ask because my regular laptop will be in repair for a while and I am currently running Pike and Shot on an absolutely ancient IBM Thinkpad T61 with Windows 7... Very slow(the computer tha...

There will be two separate divisions, one covering Renaissance period and the second covering battles from the mid 18th Century. I will organise them in separate threads but for the moment please indicate if you would like to play. You can join one or both of the divisions. - For the Renaissance per...

Esteemated Captain Gdod to the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Yongji, I can report defeat of the Joseon Pretenders, lead by the unfortunate Sems Jon So 77th. Jurchen cavalry sweeping around the enemy flanks and finest manchu matchlockery in their front routed the enemy by 47-12. Already my scouts tell me th...

Before we move on with further events, I would like your views on the Ottoman event. - What worked well and what did not? - What could be done better in a future event? I have posted a thread with a suggestion for a next outing, but so far response has been, shall we say, muted. Maybe we take a brea...

My game with SMJohnso77 came, perhaps inevitably, to an unhappy end for the Imperialists, and I believe that Dang v Kerry D is in suspension due to illness (we wish Kerry D's wife well),

So that brings us to the end of the Ottoman event and I hope you all found some fun at least...

Division B

ahuyton (Persian) won against BushUK (Kushite Egyptian), 65-48

A tough fight

Bearing in mind the preferences expressed in other threads, here is my idea. Please feel free to suggest alternatives or amendments to it. 1. Two teams, captained by our esteemed Kiwi rivals, Kiwiwarlord and Awesum4 2. Two divisions, one covering the Renaissance period and the second covering the mi...

So our team event is coming to a close. Clearly this last scenario was very difficult for the 'Enemies' team, as, to be honest, was the first game (Mohacs). I know there are a couple of games ongoing, Dang v Kerry D ahuyton v SMJohnso77 (I replaced Veles who has sadly gone AWOL) We will finish these...

But whatever is decided I get to choose which side my team is on, Brian has won the last 2 events by a rather large margin, so its only fair. I don't pick sides Andre,they are allocated as are the team members. This is not a competition between you & I so I will step down from being a Team Leader. ...

I am enjoying the 7 years war scenarios and think they make for excellent games. However, I can equally see that they will not appeal to all as they feel, rightly, very different to earlier periods. I would like to find a format that everybody liked, and I would not exclude running two events. After...

Gribol (Ottomans) wins with Cromlechi (Imperial) 40:0 However, i think, that this battle is unfair for the Imperial side and almost impossible to win. Maybe we will reconsider some kind of revenge, maybe even with same opponents that in this turn? I can propose Kahlenberg 1683, a great scenario mad...

Do you mean Joseon 1200 points vs Jurchen 1400 points

or

Joseon 1000 points vs Jurchen 1200 points?

Cause the map defaults to very wide as soon as one of the armies goes over 1200 points.

Ah, OK, well very wide is fine. I had meant Joseon 1200 v Jurchen 1400

Hope that is OK with everyone.

So I suggest the following teams: Emperor - playing the Joseon in Game 1 Kiwiwarlord (Captain) Snugglebunnies GentlemanRanker SMJohnso77 Pretenders - playing the Jurchen (+200 points) in Game 1 Gdod (Captain) Pompeytheflatulent Dang ahuyton Set up with agricultural terrain, wide battlefield, large a...

I'll join the little foray Alan... nothing I like better than revolting peasants! Thanks, Gavin, that is good. Can I appoint you Team Captain? Brian will take the other team, as usual. Sure thing Alan but I may have a revolt on my hands if my record doesn't improve soon! Oh, just see yourself as th...

What's the timeframe for the start of this event? In a couple of weeks or a couple of months? I missed a FOG 2 player organized tournament I had already signed up for because I didn't bother logging in for a 2 week period and missed PMs. We will start in the newt week or so, with approximately one ...

We are still waiting for Veles to pick up his game against SMJohnso77. I will take this over on Wednesday if there is no news.

Dang, your game is against Kerry D now - can the latter pick up the game you have posted please?

I am very scared cause I don't do anything fancy, just advance and scrap it out, a kind of Lord Nelson approach to battle that I can do no wrong to line up my ship alongside the enemy and blast away. Sun Tzu would not be impressed with my performance and might even order my execution for lack of st...
