Madness! Madness!

Typical old, overweight, beyond his years barbarian chiefdown going for "one more score". The bards will say that he went down heroically in a charge against the elite legions, but in reality both he and his horse had heart attacks as they tried recovering from last night's drink bout.

Ha ha! Yes, I noticed that his charge was unusually slow, but thought it had something to do with my gfx card, rendering, fps, etc. (All that talk about a new computer, you know.) I'm not even sure he made contact with my unit actually.

[TomoeGozen]

3a. kronenblatt (Romans II, 1570 FP) attacks TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1577 FP) in Italia XIII.

TomoeGozen defeats kronenblatt 64-51 in a tense bloodbath where both CinC were involved in multiple risky combats but somehow managed to survive...!

[kronenblatt]

With three battles remaining:

1a. Aetius39 (Romans I, 1608 FP) attacks TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1577 FP) in Africa XXIX with Mauretania XXVIII at stake too.
2a. TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1577 FP) attacks Doyley50 (Romans IV, 1561 FP) in Lycia and Cilicia XXII with Syria XXIII at stake too.
2b. TomoeGozen (Franks, 1600 FP) attack Aetius39 (Romans I, 1608 FP) in Germania Inferior IV.

the situation looks as follows:

[TomoeGozen]

I'm not at my computer right now so I could be wrong(very confused with so many games going on...) but I don't remember seeing this one set up.

2b. TomoeGozen (Franks, 1600 FP) attack Aetius39 (Romans I, 1608 FP) in Germania Inferior IV.

It may have got forgotten by Aetius39.
Or I'm going senile....

[Doyley50]

TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1577 FP) attacks Doyley50 (Romans IV, 1561 FP) in Lycia and Cilicia XXII with Syria XXIII at stake too.

Doyley50 suffers defeat 54-28

[kronenblatt]

This one is outstanding too, I believe, must have missed it in my list:

4b. Doyley50 (Sassanids, 1600 FP) attack TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1577 FP) in Syria XXIII.

This one doesn't have too many turns left but it does look like it may run to the end as it is pretty close at the moment and there are units in pretty much every corner of the map! It's chaos

Unfortunately , I will be away from my computer from tomorrow morning until sometime on Monday(I'm going to play with real toy soldiers , in a real actual, in your face(mask) , wargame tournament, wooooohoooooo! )

Cheers,
Dave.

What? A draw? How often does that happen in this tournament?

No hurry, but thanks for heads-up: then we know that you'll be away on "real life" (in which sense toy soldiers are actually real life...). Have fun and welcome back to AEiF, DiSp, VV, ExCoB, etc etc, next week!

[Aetius39]

Aetius39 (Romans I) defeats TomoeGozen (Romans V) 51-14

Desert battle! It seemed to hang in the balance for a bit as the Roman I cavalry on the left pushed V back while V's legions scored a few tough flank attacks in the center. Eventually the Roman I cavalry came around and helped seal the deal, although they had some luck in a warband holding up fragged two turns. GG as always!

[kronenblatt]

With all Roman vs. Roman battles concluded, the provincial control looks as follows:



It remains to be seen from the two remaining raid battles whether any additional provinces become looted.

Also, FP adjustments for next round currently look as follows (but both Aetius39 and TomoeGozen have their Roman factions in battle):

1. Aetius39: +6 (20 - 14) - tentative
2. TomoeGozen: -31 (20 - 51) -tentative
3. Doyley50: -40 (20 - 60) - final
4. kronenblatt: -44 (20 - 64) - final

[TomoeGozen]

4b. Doyley50 (Sassanids, 1600 FP) attack TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1577 FP) in Syria XXIII.

This battle has finally reached it's bloody conclusion.
The brave and honourable , er .. 'Romans' resisted the Sassanid raid but at great loss to themselves.

Result is draw after all turns completed , 46% losses for the Romans , 41% losses for the Sassanids.
