Right, I have a (relatively) easy tomorrow so I'll try to get it started then. :yes:

As a note, I will be in the process of posting all the necessary information for the Battle of the Iron Bridge in the next few hours. I'll make a post here once I'm done. :yes:
If anyone knows the Iron Bridge it would be Matthias.
I actually got the reference. I feel special :grin:
hehe, can't wait for it to begin
Okay, as you can see, I still have a bit of work to do. If anybody can help me out with the Word Document I would greatly appreciate it and we can get the battle started faster. Basically, if you decide to do so, use whatever image-editing tool you possess to individually select the area around each regiment and copy-paste it onto MS Word to make it easy for the participants to manipulate on their map.
You may do as little or as much as you wish, and I'll let you know my email address so you can send your work directly to me instead of having to put it through the .Org uploader.
Many thanks if you do decide to help, and let me know if you spot any errors (particularly with what army belongs to who) or are confused by anything. :2thumbsup:
Never mind, just realized how much regiment manipulation I need to do.
-edit- Battle map slightly updated.
Is it just me, or do the Ioannian Komnenoi have a slight advantage in numbers in the war?
Like three times the troops of anyone else?
I think I'm the worst off, but if I am to fall here, I'll make sure the campaign is over for Andronikos. :wink:

This does not factor in troop quality. :skull:
Is that counting Helarionas' troops? Seeing as they can't help Tagaris in this battle and all...
Although if he wins perhaps he can make it to Helarionas and regroup.
So the game is really over after this battle, right?
Probably one or two more battles, there are still a lot of big armies running around.
mkej :)
This means the new game is still far off.. Darn ^^
Well, it would likely take a little while to be ready to start regardless.
I have been working on a proposed full ruleset. Even if everybody likes it there will be things to iron out, though...
True :)
From what I can read, it's going to be a pretty interesting game :)
I anticipate 2 more battles after the Iron Bridge. I also agree that Ioannis Komnenos III is going to be very difficult to beat, especially if everyone else fights it out before confronting him.
The second post of the Iron Bridge thread has been updated. The battle is officially on and the deadline for Turn 0 orders are in 30 hours.
Best of luck, everybody. :2thumbsup:
Lol..
GH, I'm not happy how you called my loyal peasant army! :laugh4:
They are all very clean, bath every day and cannons are not even brought to Europe yet!! :laugh4::laugh4:Quote:
Division II: Worthless stinking cannon fodder peasants
Well, let's put it this way...
These armies are a step or two back from the forces I worked with in Trent. :laugh4:
I don't know, qualitywise Andronikos' group doesn't look that bad, especially when we consider that it was collected in game and not just assigned based on the number and influence of the generals involved in the battle.
Tagaris' was pretty impressive as well before that loss to the Turks. :yes:

The move will take place mid-late next week. It will take a while to get internet access up (pretty much all our money is going into the deposit) but we'll only be a block away from my father, who I run with most days. I won't be on quite as often for a little while but I will be able to get online from time to time at his place or one of the cafes across the street.
This should not affect my ability to participate in polls or threads related to the new game, nor even to give orders or participate in battles for the current event in LotR.
Just to be safe, we all better turn around and attack Ioannis Komnenus' bunch. :clown:
Have at it, we're not keen to chase you halfway around the world. :beam:
Congrats on the new place, Zim.
As a precaution, you can designate another player to give campaign map movement orders for you. That way if you're unable to get online for any reason, you can at least keep up with your allies.Quote:

Best of luck, woad. :yes:
As a personal request, can people please not half the size of their battle maps when sending it to me? I can barely read the exact placement of the units. If you use Photobucket, you can go to options and make the "resize picture" setting to 1MB, which should do the trick.
Thanks in advance. :bow:
What does the red line around the peasants at the bridge mean?
That would be the defenses I've placed at the bridge.
