But yes, I do agree that cataphracts are underwhelming, and I only field them when I'm using an army that lacks a good heavy infantry component. Yes totally agree, very underwhelming indeed. Cats definitely need some extra 'punch' on Impact imo. Many very good comments being bandied about in this t...

As before, please send me a pm or post here, with your choice of armies. I ask Brian and SB to coordinate their teams please. Try to get some variety in the choices...

Each Member of the Pro-Ming Team will be using a different army which will give some variety as requested.

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...

Looks like the Server is down again.

Congratulations to fellow Ming, Alan & Cedric, on amazing scores.........condolences to Pixel

In general, in this game, PnS, and FoGII, I almost never see corner defenses work. Thanks for your assessment SB. What you said makes sense but I thought a line that would be out flanked on both flanks plus the massive numbers advantage of the Pirates made forming a battle line across the map hopel...

SnuggleBunnies (Wokou) defeats KiwiWarlord (Ming Southern) 18-0 (Kiwi surrendered) GG As there was no terrain to stand on top of I opted for a slow withdrawal into a bottom corner leaving a scattered rear guard to take the losses and impede the Pirate Steam Roller whilst my boys hunkered down aroun...

KiwiWarlord (Ming Southern Army 1597-98, 6% ) Defeated Gentleman Ranker (Southern Rebels 1571-99, 41%) 41 - 6 Long drawn out game, which I thought would end in a draw, saw much manoeuvring back & forth by both of us looking for an edge. GR spread out a bit too much and I pounced causing much damage ...

Brian, my expectation was that the teams would stay the same, but the factions would change, i.e. I would choose a pro-Ming army for Round 2, and you would select from the anti-Ming armies. That is correct, the composition of the Teams stays the same GR. The proposal is that the Ming Team continue ...

The modified rules for Round 2 sort of slipped past me until recently. ( too much Ming on the brain :shock: ) As the Teams are not swapping around ( ie the Ming play the Anti Ming in Round 2 ) I put forward to the Players that the Teams stay as they are in Round 2, ie the Ming Team play the pro Ming...

fikabo (Tibetans rivals) defeats KiwiWorld (Ming troops) 60:43
It was roller coster game in which both side could win.

It was indeed.
New to the world of SJ fikabo may be but he knows how to handle the Tibetans.
Well done, you played extremely well.

My Joseon defeats the GentlemanRanker's Southern Rebels 40-4.

I went straight ahead. I shouted insults and prayers very loudly. Buddha heard me.

Wow what a good start,well done that man.
if only Buddha would smile on my boys.....

Don't change too much RBS, just little tweeks here & there. I find the FoG2 game a bit ' over the top ' for my liking.
Being a tabletop wargamer I find P&S a wonderful extension of the hobby.

Challenges to Snuggles, Pixel, GR & Fikabo posted.
Passwords have been sent by Private Message ( PM ) to each of you.

Which army book is this for? Ming in Crisis or Mandate of Heaven? As there are additional lists in MoH.

Also are all the armies in the Pro Ming list available or does the chosen army have to have the word 'Ming' included ?
i.e. are Joseon or any of the Rebels etc allowed ?

Hello everyone, i just want to say that despite P&S, and Field of Glory 2 being out, i still have to say that Sengoku Jidai is still my favorite out of the 3. But because the community is smaller, and there's less mods to play, i am starting to somewhat get bored after over 200 hours of gameplay. D...

(my first an Apple 2E My first PC too, with twin drives.......wow. I started Table Top Wargames with 5th Edition WRG Ancients using 25mm figures and WII skirmish using 1/32 scale Airfix Japanese.

The server came under intermittent DDOS attack over the last three days, causing it to run very slowly. It seems to be working properly again now. Thanks for the reply RBS. This has happened before on occasions if I remember correctly. I have been able to send P&S moves away now so that's great but...

I am finding that loading the game and the Forum is so very slow these days,even moving around within the Forum is very very slow.
Are others having this problem ?
