I think the generals in waiting should ask. That way they at least get something.

Haha, GH, we won't need TC's asking to get instant death for Lothar.
Read the last paragraph of "Ride of the Rohirrim" in Return of the King and replace Theoden's name with Peter and Snowmane's with Schwarz. Lothar is doomed.
:laugh4:
I have a few problems:
- Firstly, Dread avatars don't get white horses. Period.
- You forgot to replace Eomer with somebody (Fritz, maybe?)
- Unlike in RotK, there is ambiguity between which side is good and which side is evil, or if either side is either.
- Finally, the Republicans will be getting slightly better troops than Orcs (the LotR equivalent of Pilgrims) :laugh4:
I know, Schwarz is black.
Eomer will be Tancred.
If we're picking characters from Tolkein I'll let Fritz be Glaurung, the dragon who sacked Nargothrond and then took horrific revenge on Turin despite his own imminent death.
:egypt:
Peter could be Turin himself, being brutally scarred and +8 hitpoints.
Speaking of which, I gotta hand it to you GH. That line in the Battle of Trent thread about the war being between the Diet and the Kaiser provided me with a real moment of clarity. In a way, you understood why Becker couldn't take sides better than I could.Quote:

Who's a hero and who's a villain probably depends on which side you're on and who ends up writing the history (which is me no matter who wins :evilgrin:).
Of course we could end up with a Bonnie Prinz Dieter scenario.
Edit: Or to extend the metaphor more accurately, after a few years of failed Puri. . .Republican rule, Dieter could be invited back to rule as Emperor.
A secret plot - Dieter played us all against each other so he could rule the world!
Oooo I can't wait 'til the armies are posted!!! AAGHHAHHGH!
You won't have to wait much longer.
Sweet! I'm gonna go vaccuum and they'd better be done before I'm back.

Warluster, please clear your inbox.
Yeah, man!
Giddyup!
Truly incredible stuff GH!! Well done on signing off this game with a hell of a back story.
I assume OK and I don't need to send 'whip them harder!' orders while we're still marching to the field, right? If it's a random die roll when we enter I'm sure there's nothing we could do to influence it.
I'll send you a pm about restructuring the divisions a little later.
:egypt:
That's correct, Ramses. Just pray harder than OK does. :wink:
Take your time about sending that PM, you won't be on the field for at least two turns.
Because there's been some discussion about it on both Quicktopics, I will allow divisional/regimental transfer, but to a limited extent - i.e. no swapping forces with everybody until you've created the ultimate army. It also has to come out even on both sides, or barring that, the side that benefits more has to have or make a free divisional slot.
Yes Sir! Orders received.Quote:

So you're saying I don't have to feel bad for procrastinating about PMing you? :2thumbsup:
I didn't expect you to reply anyway (no reply = neutral), so no harm done. :laugh4:
Hmm looks like both sides find the Swabians the most expendable :laugh4:
Civil war redux, methinks. I was going to make a note of it in the thread but forgot.
Indeed. We really are the expendable house :beam: Was good being on your side for a bit FH, now back to revolting!Quote:

Yes, nice work on the story Cecil. Kept your character involved without drawing your sword.Quote:

Indeed my little Imperial bottom slappers!!
You must think the sun shines out of the horses arses you ride on...
May I suggest wheeling slightly to the east and engaging Ludwig's pikemen?
That would be most helpful.
Just wait man! I'll show you all!
