Kingdoms Britannia Hotseat: These Sceptred Isles (completed, Nightbringer+ Myth won)

Dude PMed me that he can play his turn in 12 hours, he managed to get his PC working. Can we wait for him?

I got a pm too but in mine he said he hadn't installed his motherboard yet...we can wait a bit though

Well, what did you do on his turn. Did you kill any of my stuff? If not, I say we keep going XD

I'm fine with waiting though

It's been three days. I'm also pretty confident that I did as good a job as possible with his turn under the circumstances.

Let's just play on unless he pops up before Igno gets to it.

Ok, I'll take the save now.

Yep, we were. It's been your turn. But I subbed and Igno is playing from that save instead.

Wales: you have momentum for the early turns, but if you fail to capitalize on it in a major way England will steamroll you with it's superior economy and production.

ok, I have pm'd Igno to find out what's going on

Sorry guys, I did the save on Tuesday but forgot to put the save up:

Here it is:

BTW: I accidentally saved it as Scotland-7, but it is the Norway save.

King Alexander was defeated and cannot move next turn.

Admiral Farquar was defeated and cannot move next turn.

Englanders, up!

are players allowed to fight losing defensive battles on purpose in this game? That has not been allowed in many previous games, but it is not specified in the rules of this one.

No that is not allowed, well spotted, I have fixed the rules now in the first post and in the WiC game too

Ireland up!

*I hate Scotland's unit roster*.

Edit: Sorry for the mini-rant. Having not played Scotland before, I didn't realise how beefed up Norway was at the start - live and learn.

Does Scotland not have good infantry? Anyway, Zim and Cecil had a war since turn 1 and Zim said he'd have gotten flattened before Haakon even had a chance to arrive.

Their stats are weaker than Norway's, partly because they're mainly pikemen.

Wales up.

Yeah Norway seems to get a good start, at least against Scotland. Partly offset by the tenuous territorial grip it has.

A major early loss in a battle that could have gone either way was what came close to doing me in. By the time Haakon arrived I'd have a far smaller army than Scotland (counting the reinforcements) and be badly in debt.

Yes, as far as debt is concerned Norway, England and Wales all have it pretty bad. Scotland is forced to go into the negatives soon unless it somehow deals with the Norse diplomatically. Ireland has it pretty good in that regard :laugh4:

Scotland up

The Welsh nation stands on its knees, the vile English about to take the jewel of the kingdom as well as the southwestern coast. Seemingly endless hordes relentlessly bearing down on us, having suffered a recent defeat the King and prince can only wait for the grim news at the beating heart of Wales.

How very different the situation would have been with assistance, how vulnerable the English spine have been left for years yet none have taken advantage of our plight. Ireland is united, but will they help their cousins?

In the north great battles are fought, with the Norse showing no mercy. Will they perhaps swing their axes against English, will there still be a Welsh nation by then? Only time will tell.

For now, the people prepare for a lengthy siege.

Norway!

Indeed, it's a frustrating campaign since you're forced to blitz on account of the incoming reinforcements.
