Still a work in progress, but there is enough in place to get the First Contest of the Historical Battles Competition underway :charge:
http://p067.ezboard.com/bsamuraiclanwars3295

A. Please read the latest revision of the Rules.

B. Then the Battle Assignments.

C. And finally find your Match thread on the Match Appointments forum.

Got it done up to that point, but haven’t even posted on my own Match Assignment.
But I will tomorrow.
Hope to see your posts there too.

Have a good night :wink:

Oh, I look forward to playing you.

Do we organise our own match times? If so, when is good for you Shadow?

The Historical Battles Competition is underway :charge:
http://p067.ezboard.com/bsamuraiclanwars3295

A. Please read the latest revision of the Rules (2.0).

B. Then the Battle Assignments from those signing up so far.

C. And finally find your Match thread on the Match Appointments forum.

D. If you are interested in joining in, please add your player name to the Register Here forum.

Tomi do you have MSN if so could i have it so i can tell you when im free for a match? Or should i just stick to the forum?

Use PM's...

P.S. Shadow, do you have MSN, oir an email that I can contact you with?

Of course you can use any means you wish to contact each other and make your Match arrangements. But the Match Arrangements forum works very well for this purpose. It is the same method that we have used for the Clan Wars Competitions for years, with great success.

HBC Match Arrangements forum http://p067.ezboard.com/fsamuraiclanwars3295frm12

There are other benefits that come from using a public forum. Other Contestants and potential Contestants can see and be encouraged by your progress. And the Competition Administration can see if you are having any problems getting responses, arranging meetings or other details or of your Match, so they can lend a hand where needed :smile:

i have a problem with ezboards, i cant use my old global account cos ive forgotten my password. whenever i try to get the details sent to me it says they are on the way but they never arrive. i cant be bothered with setting up a new email account just to use an ezboard.

"This" ezbord does not require an account :bow:

Anyone can post anywhere, except on the subtitled "Adninistrative Posts" forums.

ezboard wont let me sign up! crappy thing. Anyway im going to have to show cow a thing or 2 now!

A fixed time will be quit hard as i am quite busy over the holidays Tomi. I might be able to do wednesdey evening. Could i give you a bell when i know what time i can do via posting here?
Thanks

Guess I was wrong about no registration :sad:

Tested it, and although that's not how I set it up, that's what ezboard has as a basic requirement now.

Oh well, if you can't get there, you can't get there...

Although I have 234 members on my CWC forum, without any problems :confused:


Tibilicus, being as you are in the UK, and I in the US (-6 GMT), weekends will be the only possibility unless you stay up past midnight?

Can we meet today at around 8 or 9pm BST?

same problem im not going to be here this week, and probably not next week and oter times due to many different things i have to do


WHY? dont you set a date say 20th june that the results have to be in by, then the 5th july for the next etc etc giving more flexablity

I could probably fit you in now Tomi yes right now.

Just played first battle I was Rome; I lost, lol. good game Tomi shame you couldnt of been kinder in beating me lol. Anyway a good game. Lets hope our next match is as good. P.S next tim you will feel waht its like to get flanked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.
Yours respectivly
Tibilicus :bow: ~:cheers:

i just tried to catch you two in the lobby, i was waiting ages for you to finish your match then you left before i could say anything lol :(

hey tomi could u make that ezboard esier to find for the other members?

Added link to first post on this thread, if that helps?

http://p067.ezboard.com/bsamuraiclanwars3295

ya thanks

ohh and craterus i dont have msn but you can contact me at the boards for the hbc http://p067.ezboard.com/fsamuraiclan...opicID=2.topic
my email is flame9040@msn.com

I left you a message on the competition board Wishazu, put lol it aint workin any more

so how about this friday 3rd of june at 8pm gmt if thats ok with you

Hmmm, some hackers taken down ezBoards apparently, so I'll try arrange a fight here instead of in the proper place.

So to make a long story short Voigtkampf - Im pretty much free anytime, so when would you like to fight?

Ezboard took a big hit, and many customer's boards were damaged. Some lost only a few parts of their forums, others lost everything. I have started recreating the HBC forums. So far have the Rules, Battle Assignments, and Match Appointments back up.

:dizzy:

Test Your Skill In Our Historical Battles Competition

How good of a General are you really?

Without the advantage of selecting your favorite Faction, picking out own Troops, or hosting your favorite Map.

Facing your peers in a point based Competition, how would you do?

Do you have what it takes?

Want true evaluation of your skill?

Sign up now and we will match you with an opponent as soon as possible.

http://p067.ezboard.com/bsamuraiclanwars3295

hey tomi, tibilicus wants to apologise for missing the match, apparently he was knackered so hes hit the sack.

Thanks Wish :smile:

Yes, he sent me a private message earlier that he might not be able to make it.

I still hung around for a couple of hours, just in case.

While I was hanging out, I did get a chance to learn more about RTR, and got it downloaded and installed. Wow! There are many great mods for Rome, but Realism may just be the best.

I understand you have a ladder set up. Could you give a link directly to that?

And if anyone reading does not know about Rome: Total Realism, check this out:

http://www.rometotalrealism.com/

I would venture to say, although I don’t think it’s finished yet, that RTR is quite possibly the game that you always thought RTW should have been!

Go see for yourself ~:handball:

off topic but RTR 6 is to be released sometime this month, it is scheduled for mid-june but depends on testing results to if it needs changes before release.

this is more of a hardcore version. i think RTW was made for the masses, nothing wrong with that, it is still a good game. they needed to attract as many people as possible to there game but RTR is deffinitly the game that us "hardcore" Total War players wanted.

Yep as wishazu said im sorry i couldn't make it. would saturday time be good for you? sundays are now a lot more busy than my saterdats.

Nihilist has set up a rtr ladder for rome. i can assure you its much better than rtw, much, much better ~;)

Yes, but the ladder isn't really active yet (I haven't told anyone outside the clan).... I suppose there's no reason why we couldn't start on it though... It's located here

The reason I was holding off was that I have doubts about the balance between factions as it is designed for single player not multi player, so was thinking of waiting for the next major release and having a proper start at it then.

whatever you think is best mate.

can we try again for tonight ~:cheers:

tuesday 7th june 7pm gmt

well im online now if your up for it.

i'am at work lol, shhh dont tell the boss

ok, i might be able to play tomorrow night, i cant do tonite untill about midnight unfortunately :(

Most Honoable Tibilicus,

Will look for your Org pm Saturday morning, and we will try again.

Please remember I am 6 hours behind your time.

:bow:

P.S. Codies, we have received the “all clear” from ezboard.

It should be safe to post on the HBC forums now.

http://p067.ezboard.com/bsamuraiclanwars3295

maybe we should try for the weekend again (friday night 8pm gmt), thats if it is fine with you , oh yeah if i fail to turn up, you can have the win by default,

~:cheers:

sorry mate but id rather play the game :) will you be available this evening?

right it thurdays i get back form the gym at 7pm, so i could manage 8pm ?

hard work this lol, but i want to :duel: as i kind of like the historical battles

yeah, they are a good laugh, however its my birthday today and im having some mates round, im not sure if i`ll be able to get on to play, i`ll do my best though :)

:balloon2: Happy Birthday Wishazu :balloon2:

Voigtkampf, I'm pretty much free whenever until september, which gives us plenty of time to get our match in, so what times suit you?

Cheers RabidGibbon ~:cheers: just out of curiosity, are you in a clan?

Hi Tomi. I went ther at 9 my time as i couldnt play any erlier. I take it you had allready left? A shame as we will now have to organise again. Sorry about the confusion
Tibilicus ~:bow:

Are you available now?

I was waiting for a pm from you ~:eek:

I am lets go go go !

Well played Tomi good game. Sorry i couldnt talk at the end my computer just crashed. I couldnt exit the battle it wouldnt let me ! lol. Any way I forgot to put on scored resolution at start for battle options but I saved the replay and wrote down the results. Once againg good game.

Saturday June 11 2005
Tibilicus_CoH as Seleucids - Kills: 964
Tomisama_CoH as SPQR - Kills: 102
Total Kills 1066

Good Games :charge:

Im confused ~:confused: So first battle you wun then second i wun. And who got overall more kills? Sorry to add to the confusion also i would post defensive stats. Infact i will do for are most resent battle:

Tibilicus_CoH: Men deployed Kills menremaning

976=men deployed 964=kills 886=menremaning

Tomisama_CoH: Men deployed Kills menremaning

1101=men deployed 102=kills 135=menremaning


Could you post the other game like that? That way its easier to understand. Well for me, but hey im just stupid lol.

Once again both good games and hope to play more games with you in the future as your one of the good players out there
Thanks
Tibilicus :bow: ~:cheers:
Keep the Code :bow:



Edit:
p.s are game was not played a week from now lol. I think you have the dates wrong anyway good game once again.

yeah i think the date of the second result in the post is wrong :)

Sorry about the dates (both were wrong). Fixed That!

The first Battle Scores as you requested.

Tomisama_CoH: Men deployed Kills menremaning

976=men deployed 995=kills 612=menremaning

Tibilicus_CoH: Men deployed Kills menremaning

1101=men deployed 406=kills 92=menremaning


The reason I posted in the Kills and Total Kills format is because those are the categories of the Contest.

http://p067.ezboard.com/fsamuraiclanwars3295frm8

VII. The Categories for each HBC Challenge will be, Highest Point Score for each Faction, and Highest Point Score (for each Faction) in the Highest Point Battle.

There are Four High Point Categories.

So far of the 2 Battles turned in:

Tomisama_CoH vs. [LeoHonouris]Tibilicus_CoH

Sunday June 5 2005
Tomisama_CoH as Seleucids - Kills: 995
Tibilicus_CoH as SPQR - Kills: 406
Total Kills 1401

Saturday June 11 2005
Tibilicus_CoH as Seleucids - Kills: 964
Tomisama_CoH as SPQR - Kills: 102
Total Kills 1066

---

The Highest Point Score for each Faction are both from the first Battle.

Seleucids - Kills: 995 - Tomisama_CoH
SPQR - Kills: 406 - Tibilicus_CoH

And the Highest Point Battle is also the first Battle, with those Highest Point Scores.

Total Kills 1401
Seleucids - Kills: 995 - Tomisama_CoH
SPQR - Kills: 406 - Tibilicus_CoH

Please note that the Categories will not always necessarily be the same between Highest Point Score for each Faction, and Highest Point Score for each Faction in the Highest Point Battle. It just worked out that way this time.

It is quite possible to have a Highest Point Score for either Faction in the Highest Point Battle, that is not the Highest Point Score for that Faction overall.

The Scores for the balance of the Competitors to beat now are:

1. Seleucids - Kills: 995
2. SPQR - Kills: 406
3. Total Kills 1401 with Seleucids - Kills: 995
4. Total Kills 1401 with SPQR - Kills: 406

Until that is done, we are the High Point leaders.

(There was a post on the Ezboard forum that explained the Total Kills thing, but it was lost when Ezboard was hacked :sad:)

You are a very good player Tibilicus, really better than me ~:cheers:
Salute!

Wishazu, I'am begining to think we may never be online at the same time lol (prob my fault guildwars as taken over my life at the moment)
