E.B multiplayer AAr thread
Hi folks, this thread is meant for you to post scrennies of your heroic victories/crushing defeats and just to generaly boast of your MP greatness.
Say who you were fighting and who won.
I'll sart the ball rolling with this heroic seleukid taking of a bridge from hoards of rebelious Parthian mad menhttps://img502.imageshack.us/img502/2545/uudc8.jpg
Despite Randarkmaan's best efforts otherwise.
Re: E.B multiplayer AAr thread
I can't see the screenie, I would like to see the mangled bodies of my soldiers you know!
Re: E.B multiplayer AAr thread
You should now make a battle where Randarkmaan is the defender.
Re: E.B multiplayer AAr thread
:inquisitive: But Randarkman was defending
Re: E.B multiplayer AAr thread
a humble note from an RTR MP vet if i may. just make sure you let your counterparts know of your intentions to make battles resaults public before postin' an AAR, just so nobody's feelings are hurt...
we used to have a commentator who was present at the battle as a third side. and would post an interesting chronicles supported by battle's pics. was such a pleasure and a teaser to read:yes:

I didn't use the right kind of army or the right kind of moves to beat his phalanxes, but I bear no grudge, it's the first time I played EB online and I would like to try again... and by the way, not all those corpses are Parthians, some are seleucids actually.

Yes true enough, cataphracts can be messy when they charge into a diorganised mass of depleted and exhausetd phalagnites...:smash:
And all of the corpses on the bridge are mine.(then he ran out of arrows) thank Ares for incompetent logistics:laugh4:
Re: E.B multiplayer AAr thread
I like the one Pezhetairos walking away. I can imagine this smug look on his face as he thinks to himself, Yup, my job is done here.

Hi, guys, a few pics of my ignominious defeat at the hands of easternscourge:https://img225.imageshack.us/img225/...htyrya5.th.jpg
more to follow but I got to go now
Edit here are the rest
Pontic chariots chrashing into the back of Babylonian heavy spearmen:[img=https://img209.imageshack.us/img209/7255/uhyza5.jpg]
And finnaly, the hopless last charge of the prodromoi:[img=https://img209.imageshack.us/img209/8405/yjyyjjpx4.jpg]
A few thoughts about the battle: Strangely, my chariots absolutley butchered his cataphracts, (even his generals gripanvar), but got hoplessley cut to peices by his heavy infantry, even though they were charging into the back of them. I thought that in E.B. chariots were suposed to be very disadvantaged against cavalry and a their best when fighting densely packed heavy infantry armed with swords. Ironicaly, I could probably have won using the prodromoi in the last picture, but I used them to chase off some horse archers, then forgot all about them:embarassed:
