Re: LORDS OF HISTORY (the ultimate edition)
I've been making scenarios of some ancient battles I did not choose to do the first time around and rewriting some other to the present standard. So from time to time, we'll have a round of ancient battles.
ROUND 33: HEGEMONIES
The decades following Sparta's victory in the Peloponnesian War were to see her hegemony challenged then brought down by Thebes. Theban hegemony however proved to be short-lived. Waiting in the north was Macedon whose eventual hegemony was to spell the end of Greek independence.

Re: LORDS OF HISTORY (the ultimate edition)
result from two weeks ago:
Leuctra
Thebans (fogman) 61/72
Spartans (allendeuce) 52/48
Crazily, the whole Pelopponesian line surged forwards instead of backwards.
My windows laptop seems to have some sort of connectivity failure. I may have to buy a new one in order to play multiplayer.

2 challenges & 2 Results
CHALLENGES
LEUCTRA versus Londo password LEUC
CHAERONEA versus mcfcivo password CHAE
RESULTS
LEUCTRA
Edmund (Thebans) defeats iandavidsmith (Spartans), Thebans 55/72, Spartans 48/48
Edmund 10.0 pts
iandavidsmith 7.6 pts
It turned into a messy battle where both sides scored alike, but the Thebans won on the higher base count. Thanks for the game Ian
CHAERONEA
Edmund (Macedonians) defeats allendeuce (Greeks), Greeks 85/83, Macedonians 60/68
Edmund 10.2 pts
allendeuce 8.8 pts
A very close battle, where the Macedonians looked set to win, despite heroic resistance from a particularly brave tactical marker, but then everything switched around with a big points swing on the last but one turn. Thanks for the game Jim and a medal for the marker man

Re: LORDS OF HISTORY (the ultimate edition)
I gave the Chaeronea from Edmund to you to another player. I thought you were out since I saw you active in FoG 2. That's fine.
edit: it appears Edmund reposted that challenge.

Re: LORDS OF HISTORY (the ultimate edition)
Result for CHAERONEA versus mcfcivo
CHAERONEA
Edmund (Greeks) defeats mcfcivo (Greeks), Greeks 66/83, Macedonians 74/68
Edmund 10.9 pts
mcfcivo 8.0 pts
Within the limited scope on an inevitable slugfest, the main tactical choice for the Greeks is the balance between reinforcing the battle line and running away. Hear they mainly opted for running away as quickly as possible.
The battle seemed very close for most of the game before Alexander's death, closely followed by Antipater's and then it turned rapidly with the Macedonians suddenly losing a lot of points, so I think the key difference was the dice.

Re: LORDS OF HISTORY (the ultimate edition)
Sorry to everyone I went AWOL for a long while! Here are a whole bunch of results I don't think I've posted. Although these are gone from the server now, I scribbled down the numbers after each game.

Re: LORDS OF HISTORY (the ultimate edition)
More results!
Chaeronea
Londo (Macedonians) 50/68 - Andy (Greeks) 83/83
Leuctra
Londo (Thebans) 59/72 - Edmund (Spartans) 52/48
I find the marker placement in Leuctra a bit odd. Fogman, I understand what you're doing with the Theban markers behind the Spartans - recreating the second line that the Spartans established after the collapse of their main phalanx fronted by the Spartiates.
But the problem is that the Spartans have to start withdrawing troops to get these markers from the beginning of the scenario. It's as if they know from the outset that their phalanx is doomed, and they will have to set up a second line. But they wouldn't have known that, would they?
In this case, I was overlapping the edges of the Spartan phalanx and pressing on its flanks. Edmund's necessary withdrawal of troops to take markers left him with insufficient to protect the flanks of the Spartiates. (It also helped that my markers proved stoic and didn't fall easily!)
I now have only one game outstanding - Leuctra with Jim. Looking forward to the new round!

Re: LORDS OF HISTORY (the ultimate edition)
Leuctra: the Spartans can't withdraw right away since they are entangled with some 'reaction time' markers. And I added a couple of Theban cavalry to make the process interesting.
I haven't heard from allendeuce. But I have lined up fedem as new player. I'll wait a few days.
