Team Tori it is then! Thanks Gavin

Thanks also to Baldrick52. I think the simplest is to add you to one of the teams. The imbalance innumbers does not really matter.

Players so far (in no particular order): Snugglebunnies (aka Jack, I think) Kiwiwarlord (Brian) GentlemanRanker (Nick) Gdod (Gavin) TheGrayMouser (??? shame on me for not knowing) Eobrian2 (Erin) ahuyton (Alan) LFDLM (Cedric) tbc No word from Fikabo so I assume he is out. As soon as LFDLM confirms w...

I recently finished a pair of games with Stockwellpete, the designer, using this dark age scenario. It sees a force of quivering British medium foot (light spear armed) facing off a mass of Saxon warbands. The warbands are mostly average but have superior Generals. As the British player, you have a ...

That sounds like a nice idea. Count me in please, though be warned I am really terrible at this game. Alan

Pete This is a very nice approach and it looks very well done. Coincidentally, I have just proposed to some of my habitual online opponents something very similar but involving ancient Spanish and Republican Romans. I won't list it here as I don't want to gatecrash your thread but will put it on the...

I would like to launch our third SJ team event in the next few weeks. Our discussions after last year's event led to the following idea, but I am happy to adapt it if people object or have better ideas. Please PM me or reply to this post to confirm that you would like to play. Comments on the scenar...

It would be quite sensible for Slitherine to create an easily accessible groups, with BA, BA2, P&S and SJ. These are all high quality games even of they are ageing a little.

It looks as if these two games have been taken off the front page of the Forum and relegated to the 'Classic Games' forum. Is there any possibility to reverse this change? There are active groups of players for both of these excellent games, and we organise annual and occasional tournaments. Indeed ...

Yes, the problems are back again. Over the weekend, frequently the turn was sent but after several apparent fails. Now it just fails.

I have the same problem, with SJ also

Thanks to everyone for the comments and suggestions. I think this 'Event' is a lot of fun so I hope that we can continue next year. So far we have three suggestions - Gempei Kampen - Invasions - Samurai battles All three sound good to me, but let's continue with the friendly games and then decide on...

I see that all the Round 2 games are complete, except for those involving Pixel. I assume that Pixel is having some sort of difficulty in finding time for his games (and there is still one of his Round 1 games outstanding Ithink). However, it is very difficult for his opponents to keep focused on a ...

fikabo (Southern Rebels) defeats Ahuyton (Tibetan Lords) 62:49 Very hard battle for me. Most time I have feeling that I lost it. I have more mens (14k to 10k) but with cost of small number of horses and many raw units. So at beginning I winning with more my units engage in shooting and mele but whe...

I posted eobrian and my result above

Thanks SB.

How about Pixel, GR and Fikabo?

Hello everybody

Thanks to Fikabo and Pixel for picking up their games. Hopefully we can get these finished by early November.

How are the games with Eobrian2 going? I have received no word on this.

ahuyton (Tibetan Lords) won against Gentleman Ranker 58-32 This was actually a very close game for most turns. At one stage I counted three fragmented units on my side. I managed to pull ahead as the game broke up and pieces scattered. A draw would have been a fairer result I think. I concur with Br...

SnuggleBunnies (Tibetan) defeats ahuyton (Tibetan) 49-21 SnuggleBunnies (Tibetan) defeats LFDLM (Zheng Dynasty) 71-28 SnuggleBunnies (Tibetan) defeats eobrian2 (Western Mongols) 60-6. LFDLM (Zheng) defeat GentlemanRanker (Qing) 41-14. KiwiWarlord ( Ming Southern Army 1683 ) beat Gentleman Ranker ( Q...

So here is the line-up: Anti-Ming GentlemanRanker: Qing 1636- Pixel: Jurchen 1629- Fikabo: Southern Rebels 1597- SnuggleBunnies: Tibetan 1650- Pro Ming Kiwiwarlord: Southern Ming 1599-1683 LFDLM - Zheng Dynasty 1663-1683 ahuyton - Tibetan Lords 1650-1700 Eobrian2 - Western Mongols 1650-1700 Could th...

The Ming team is ready with its army selection for Round Two. As soon as the anti-Ming selection is complete, SB, please send it to me and we can get started.

So with just one game to go (Pixel v Eobrian2), our interesting Round One has come to a close. The anti-Ming are a clear winner and the Ming will have a hard job in Round Two to catch-up. Well done to SB, Fik, GR and EOB. I wonder if players would like to share their thoughts on the armies used, ta...
