New FOGII (April 2018) Campaign Tournament (bbogensc)

[bbogensc]

Yes, you can join. just send me your orders in the next 24 hours.

If you are ok with Antigonid that would be balance the geography better and you will border several neutral zones. You can select either Antigonid OR Greek. Kappadocia will also be a human player FYI but immobile the first turn.

[bbogensc]

To answer several questions:

(I) Victory conditions should be controlling 1/2 the total provinces, or all opponents resign.

(II) A player with a mix of army types either by era or faction (by building on conquered provinces) may select any of these for battle BUT must choose the majority typeby faction and era. So, if 2 greek, 1 roman, then Greek. If 2 greek (500bc), 1 greek (100 bc), then its 500bc.

All right then peasants... oh wait thats me.... .....time for you all to die horrible long lingering deaths, especially you Roman sucktards who wish to enslave everyone, workers unite, free us one and all the slaves shall rise from the ashes and be equals once again

Battle List (Turn 1)

*NOTES*

* 2 battles for everyone that submitted a turn (no turns from Spain, Rome and Etruscan). If you missed the turn your province will still build, so not the end of the world.

* The Neutral battles were assigned only to players who submitted turn by AsiaPac location first, and then geography in the game itself (where I tried to put nearby players in as neutral). If you can't play for some reason please let me know and I'll substitute.

* Attacker sets up the battle in PBEM system. State whom the game is for to avoid confusion. Use the force size table on forum post. Defender should be Side A.

* When ATTACKING NEUTRAL PROVINCES, attacker chooses the defending army when setting up the game in PBEM.

* IMC and rexhurley both invaded JEWISH (46). Najanaja will play Jewish on both sides. If both win whoever gets the higher break percentage gets the province, and the other army automatically returns home.

* CunningCairn and IMC cross attacked and MEET AT THE BORDER. CunningCairn gets 3x armies on 49 calculated as: (1) attacking army; (2) 50 army moved into and defending province 49; (3) 49 build army.

Hi,

NEW FOGII (April 2018) Campaign Tournament

Open to anyone (not sponsored or affiliated with Byzantine games or Slitherine).
Multiplayer battles rules (map size, army size, etc.) are the same as in the sponsored tournament

NOTE: Players are expected to resolve 1 or more battles in a 4 day period, and to submit strategic moves in a 2 day period. Slow players (persons that make 1 move per day or so) should not join this campaign.
Strategic Campaign Map (attached here)

Reply to this post to choose faction! Please specify time period for army as appropriate. First come first served.

(bbogensc has created the map and factions to be playable and historically plausible but not strictly so)

Factions to choose from:

Ancient British
Gaul
Galatia
Germania
Iberia
Spain
Campanian
Etruscan
Umbrian
Rome - MikeC_81
Carthage
Numidia
Ptolemaic
Pyrric
Dacia
Macadeonian
Greece
Syracuse
Slave Revolt
Jewish
Arab
Nabatean
Persian - bbogensc
Armenian
Antigonid
Lyimachid
Kapadocian
Seleucid
Bosporan
Skythian

Note: There are several black boundary lines on the map that divide Rome into 2 provinces, and the Med into 2 sea zones, etc.

Strategic Rules (these are based on simple tabletop campaign practices used in ancient figurine tournaments)

* Each player starts with 2 provinces as reflected on the Strategic Campaign Map (except Slave Revolt with 3).
* Each province starts with 1 army of its province type.
* Each province automatically produces 1 army per turn (unless conquered in that turn).
* New army produced in that turn defends the province.
* Units move 1 land space on the strategic map (will be colored counters placed on the map).
* Units may move out to sea in 1 turn, and may move to any land space bordering that sea space in the next turn, no naval battles. Sea spaces are North Sea, West Med, East Med, Black Sea.
* A conquered province may build EITHER local province unit or base unit of the player.

Tactical Rules

* When a province is invaded, the invading army fights the defending armies 1 at a time, in sequence. If the attacker wins, that eliminates 1 defending army. If there are 2 or more defending armies, then the a new battle is initiated as each defending army is defeated, or likewise with 2 or more attacking armies.
* A draw of any kind results in BOTH armies eliminated.
* Attacker sets up battle in FOGII multiplayer with Pot Luck map.
* If armies meet at the border, then either player may set up battle (first in time prevails).
* Slow play (of any kind) results in DEFEAT for the ENTIRE force at the end of the 4 day Tactical Phase period. If you encounter slow play take a screenshot and send to the moderator with the next Strategic Move Phase (see below). If both players allege slow play, then moderator will adjudicate based on screenshots submitted. It is presumed that players will make multiple moves per day.

Diplomatic Rules

* Alliances are encouraged between players, no holds barred, but winner takes all (no joint victory).

Administrative Rules:

Strategic Move Phase (every 2 days)
*Each Player sends by PM (to bbogensc) moves and build for each province controlled, e.g.:

Numidia 51
(1) 2 Numidian armies attacks Carthage
(2) 1 Numidian army move to West Med sea zone
(3) Build 1 army Numidian

Tactical Battle Resolution Phase

* Within a day or so after the Strategic Move Phase, bbogensc will send each player the battles resulting from simultaneous moves in the Strategic Move Phase.
* Tactical Battles should be resolved within 4 days.
* 4 days begin when moderator (bbogensc) sends you your battles after the Strategic Move Phase* Post battle results on forum page.
* If a province is conquered, NOTE that in the forum post.

[bbogensc]

Attacker chooses the era for the neutral.

[bbogensc]

Kabill experienced a technical glitch so ive allowed him to submit the move an hour late. This resulted in an additional battle in Iberia as follows:

Kabill Spain (40) v bbogensc (for neutral Iberia).

[bbogensc]

2 more players wanted for Syracuse and Kappadocia. Both auto built the first turn and were not attacked.

[Najanaja]

Is there an updated map somewhere?

[bbogensc]

No, not yet, I will make an updated map once the battles are concluded to be used for planning before the next strategic move phase. Right now I don't know where armies will end up, so I think it makes sense to update the map once per turn.

[bbogensc]

We need a new Roman player for the tournament if anyone is reading this and wants to join with a good faction.

[Ludendorf]

1x1 Ironclad German Horse (260AD-492AD) v Gaul (Ludendorf) has resulted in stalemate. Both armies eliminated, province uncaptured.

[bbogensc]

Persia captures Armenia 44. Attacking army lost due to casualties, however.

bbogensc (Persia) defeats Ludendorf (for Armenia) 61-45.

[RagnarOneTooth]

A tough challenge faces teh Kyreaneans if the want the Lysimachid territory.

[RagnarOneTooth]

Kyreanean bravery was not enough this day. They fought with and for honour, before withdrawing while the nobles charged their stone and arrow battered chariots into the pikes to cover the retreat. Chased by lancers, peltasts and elephants as the savage thracian flanking force, that meet the kyrenean peltats in the mountain passes, rushed envelope their entire army.

[Kabill]

(Turn 1) Spain utterly crushed in woefully inept invasion of Iberia.

[RagnarOneTooth]

The forces of Pyrrhos push north into Campanian territory, outnumbered the Campanian hoplites stood firm luring the pike into an ambush by their italian foot emerging from the woods to hit their flank while the famous Campanian cavalry sorely tested the greek cavalry. But with the aid of elephants on the right, while hastily redeployed Pyrrhic italian allies to shore up the left, the epirot pike used their greater numbers to push through the centre and on to victory. Pyrrhics losing 6% of their force. In a 2:1 claiming victory and
Pyrrhos claims 19 as a new territory
