Romanes Eunt Domus!

[keyth]

Had enough of those chippy Romans trying to bully their way through Italy? Or do you harbour a secret desire to *be* those chippy Romans? If the answer to either of these questions is 'Yes' then this may be of interest!

Romanes Eunt Domus is a mini-tournament where nine brave souls will vie for control of Italia. The forces involved are:

Apulian
Bruttian
Campanian
Italian Hill Tribes
Lucanian
Roman 280-220BC
Samnites
Syracusan
Umbrian

Armies will be chosen at random. Every round for four rounds, each commander will issue two challenges, so by the end of Round IV everyone should have played everyone else twice. The challenger will choose the terrain for each battle. Points will be awarded to the victor; one point for a win plus an additional point for each complete 15% difference in casualties (INT(Difference%/15)+1). After four rounds the commander with the most points wins bragging rights over Italia. A tie will be resolved by a play-off.

If you are interested please reply here - first come, first served!

Edit: It has been pointed out that Ligurian is a disaster of a list so Lucanian has been substituted using the Bruttian/Lucanian list.

Hi, count me in, Syracusan if possible

[keyth]

The armies will be pulled out of a hat, either by me or by a helpful disinterested party on the forum. Players can then trade between themselves if they can find a buyer

Here here!!

[Cumandante]

But... Ligurian is my favorite list

When you say "armies will be chosen at random", do you mean the army list or the army composition?

Complete newbie here, new to the game and the era.

All abilities are welcome - it's not like I'm any good at the game This is just a bit of fun anyway and I'm sure everyone will be happy to answer questions along the way. If you still want in, the last spot is yours.

And now let's enjoy this eerie minute between being promoted as a general and the first of an humiliating series of defeats...
Thank you for taking me aboard !
