(From The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon)
Theodoric the Last: a tournament about the (potential) fall of the Ostrogoths
The Year of The Lord 526...
... Just after the death of Theodoric the Great...
... A power vacuum, within the realm, outside...
... Nearby rivals seek to exploit the turmoil, picking up the shards of the Ostrogothic kingdom, and conquer Italy...
... Will Theodoric not only be the Great, but also the Last?
This is a very simple ladder-style up-or-out tournament for five players over a maximum of seven rounds, in which players fight each other with early sixth-century AD army lists over getting first to Ravenna. Players will get a limited set of army lists to choose from and will be forced to use different army lists each time, for the sake of variety.
