Just an update on my two remaining games. My 1232 Grenadine army is being slaughtered by Doyley 50's 1320 Danes. I have nothing that can stand up to his Scandinavian Foot (well that is my excuse). That should be ending very soon.

That will leave me with just my 419 Visigoths (with Byzantine Allies) to play Lascar's 675 Bulgar Volga force whenever he is ready to set up the challenge.

In the end, a very interesting game and a pleasant one for me. Brian played with his usual skill and habitual good grace, offering encouragement and praise in a very sporting fashion.
Thank you Alan for your kind remarks in your very good report of our game.
I thought that I had you on the ropes and it was going to be a great Ottoman victory until your flank march appeared on my flanking force's flank routing it !!!! ( Flanking forces are very rare in Pike & Shot and not normally as large as Alan's)
The Ottoman attack then broke down and the Ottomans were routed.
One of Alan's best wins against me, well done.

I don't want to burst the remaining players and games bubble (and the remaining games need to be played for a Western champion and individual kudos) but an awesome faction tournament can now be declared as an East West draw. It is also now time to think of the two top players in a playoff. I suggest an epic battle for the tie breaker ...any suggestions? (only stipulation is that it must be an east vs west epic battle) I look forward to your suggestions .

That is a very good idea, Gavin. I think Chalons or Magnesia as classical battles would be good.

I really enjoyed this event, it was nice to select the armies and have good match-ups. You are very creative in the design and very efficient in managing it all, with plenty of good humour. Many thanks!

Since both sides fielded Rome, I think the final faction victory should decided at none other than the Milvian Bridge 312AD. downloaded community scenario

KiwiWarlord vs either Alan, markleslie or (carpenkm/awsum4 team) depending on the outcome of their matches.

While we wait for the final faction victory at Milvian Bridge 312AD between KiwiWarlord/Brian (rep. the East/Constantine) and Ahuyton/Alan (rep. the West/Maxentius), I'd just like to thank everyone for participating in this experimental factional pan-period tournament. I hope everyone enjoyed the friendly banter and games.
  • I'd just like to add that Alan's War of the Roses factional tournament looks like it might also be breaking new ground with the use of his proven historical scenerio's and the prospect of players changing sides when the going gets rough.
  • at the same time, the Sengoku Jidai factional tournament introduces winning provinces that relate to a list.
  • Overall, I'm encouraged with the experimental creativity of our tournament community. This shows that the digital war-gaming community is thriving. This bodes well for further development in digital war-gaming opportunities.


Meanwhile, we await who our emperor will be (and will he have a lisp?)...

Yes a massive ' Thank you ' and many, many celebratory drinks on us Alan & Gavin for your ingenuity, many hours of manifesting these wonderful Events using the very workable Slitherine game engines.
You have made my computer gaming so interesting and I now have many 'gaming pen pals' to chat with.
Thanks heaps

Yes, many thanks for all the effort put in to make my favourite "tournaments", played with good humour throughout.

(Very) Late News

PeterThe Painter’s Visigoth’s defeat Lascar’s Bulgar (Volga) 4% - 52%.

It is a long way from Spain to the Volga and when we got there we found that our opponent had decided he wanted to defend a nice hill at the rear of his deployment area, so we had to walk across the whole battlefield as well. Lascar’s decision proved well founded as even with the benefit of the slope his irregular foot proved no match for the Visigoth warbands in hand to hand combat. Thanks to Lascar for an interesting game.

So the Visigoths walked across the battlefield and pushed the Bulgar forces off the hill. Which just leaves the question why there were only 7,268 of them and 9,498 of us as the Visigoths didn’t appear inferior in anyway?

A big thank you to Gavin for setting up this event which has proved different to Alan's but has been conducted in the same spirit.

Thanks for the result Pete. Congratulations but I commiserate with Dave. Bulgar's (and early Poles) are just fodder in the open.

I hope we get a final faction result from Milvian Bridge 312AD between KiwiWarlord/Brian (rep. the East/Constantine) and Ahuyton/Alan (rep. the West/Maxentius). It would be nice to round it all off.

The final encounter is well underway and Brian's highly superior legionaries are carving their way through my ranks. Result to follow.
