The defence of Italia was progressing just fine , albeit with a little too much local blood spilt, when a rush of blood to the head of the CinC of TomoeGozen's army had him swapping units to lead a unit of Auxilia personally... you can all guess what happened next...

TomoeGozen's CinC falls in battle...:-( again...

The scores when it happened were..
Aetius39 - 43% losses
TomoeGozen - 35% losses

One day I'll learn :-)
Thanks to Aetius for a great game...up until that point :-)
Yes it was a great game, you were playing fantastic and up, I was holding on a bit...too bad it ended like that. A certain man with the initials T. B. sent a dagger our way and asked to join us, but we refused!

Aetius (Romans I) defeats Kronenblatt (Alamans) 46-19

The Alamans slowly came down to our lines (to try and make us nervous, but our brave soldiers stood firm!) and the Romans sent out some sorties which failed. The Alamans won the light war, but could not break the legions. GG as usual Kronenblatt!^^

This is now, as I understand, the one and only battle remaining:

2a. Conquest: TomoeGozen (Romans V, 1569 FP) attacks Aetius39 (Romans I, 1606 FP) in Africa XXIX.

How is it progressing?

Happens to me very often as well: suddenly when I look, my C-in-C is in the middle of the action fighting (ideally against several enemy units), and I don't really have a clue how he got there (well, I do, compulsive charge trigger happy fingers...). And then I look at the enemy C-in-C to at least see that he's in a similar position, but no: he's waiting safely and soundly behind the enemy lines enabling "within command"... :)

Ha ha! Last I heard from T.B., he was among your ranks nowadays, Aetius! :) Somewhere close. Memento Mori, Aetius Augustus.

Round VII (272 AD): attack declarations

Post by kronenblatt »

Order of attack declarations:
1. Aetius39: -32: Oct. 18
2. TomoeGozen: -41: Oct. 19
3. kronenblatt: -44: Oct. 20
4. Doyley50: -48: Oct. 21

Each player shall make two attack declarations upon other players' Roman factions (see Attacks in rules):
I. One conquest attack by his Roman faction.
II. One raid attack by any non-Roman faction.

Once attack declarations have been made, battles are resolved simultaneously during a three-week period.

Please note that:
  • A number of provinces are now looted by certain non-Roman factions (see earlier post and map), with provinces looted from land raids allowing for raids deeper into the Roman empire by these factions.
  • Attack declaration shall be made in posts in this thread.
  • Rules are found in second post of this thread.
  • Date (midnight CET (Rome) time) above indicates deadline, after which opportunity to declare attacks is forfeited and the player next in line may declare attacks.
  • If a player above has announced his attacks, then the player next in line is free and is encouraged to announce attacks too, up to his deadline, i.e., if the players before you have announced attacks, don't wait for your deadline to announce your own attacks but instead do so speedily so battles can start as soon as possible.
The following provinces are now considered looted (as highlighted by lighter colors in the map below)
Arabia XXVI. Cappadocia XXI. Dacia XI. Moesia Inferior XII. Aegyptus XXX. Agri Decumates VI. Thracia XVI. Mesopotamia XXIV. Macedonia XVII. Bithynia et Pontus XVIII.

Aggregate occurrences of Roman factions' C-in-Cs having fallen in battle
TomoeGozen 2. Aetius39 2. kronenblatt 2. Doyley50 1.

Non-Roman factions that cannot make attacks upon certain Roman factions this round (due to losing battle)
Alamans upon Aetius39. Sassanids upon TomoeGozen.

Force point (FP) adjustments
1. Aetius39: -32 (20 - 52)
2. TomoeGozen: -41 (20 - 61)
3. kronenblatt: -44 (20 - 64)
4. Doyley50: -48 (20 - 68)

Darn Alan, you're really into Asia...! :D

The raid attack is ok, but unfortunately not the conquest attack, since XIX Asia is already at stake due to my attack from there upon TomoeGozen's XXII Lycia et Cilicia.

Then wouldn't Tomoe's raid into Noricum also not be possible since I'm attacking your from there? (Don't worry Tomoe, plenty of other places to attack me^^).

Raids are no problem, since they can be made upon provinces-at-stake. However, conquests can't.

  • The defender in Conquests and the attacker in Raids creates the challenge, also deciding the map terrain for the province in question.
  • All battles are 24 turns, 40 x 32 and use Remove the Head (i.e., the battle will end also when one side’s C-in-C falls in battle with that side becoming the loser).
  • Only Aetius39, the current controller of Italia XIII, is allowed to select Praetorian Guard units in his battles.
  • No map re-rolls are allowed.
  • Make sure you have An Empire in Flames v2 module downloaded and installed.
  • When setting up the challenge in-game, in Multiplayer Lobby under My Challenges, through pressing New Challenge and then Create Skirmish, choose Select Another Module, mark An Empire in Flames v2 and click LAUNCH. The factions can now be chosen for the battle when creating the challenge.
  • The defender reports the battle result once concluded: who's victor and loser (if any), always specifying the incurred casualties and whether any faction's C-in-C fell in battle.
Enjoy! Any questions? Please post them here.
