[SwissBarbar]

Just to make it official: the keyboard to my EB-computer is broken so I won't be able to do any in-game stuff until I've got a new one. I have therefore given the control of my Royal Army over to GMaximus, and if I still haven't sorted out this problem when SwissBarbar joins the army, the control will then pass to him until I return.

I'll still be here and do my part in the Council and what-not, but if you want anything done with my RA, you can talk to them. As long as it doesn't break the instructions I have given them (you can see my SOT post for that), they're free to accept or decline as they please.

Hmm... I should probably make up an IC excuse for this...

don't worry, i'll take care if this worst case happens, but i don't think so. if the turns pass this slowly further on i won't be there by christmas i'm still in antiocheia and did not move my avatar a single time yet

[Alerion]

Well I really hope it goes a little faster as soon as we get over this turn ^^

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Don't worry SwissBarbar, It usually gets done in 24 hours. It's just this time we have had toooo many battles to fight and peoples RL have kept them away from this game.

Incitatus, like Alerion said - not all heroic victories are famous victories.

I-K i should have 2 battle points should i not

You won battle against the rebels. That's 2 Bp's. But you retreated when the Ptolemaioi attacked your army, this counts as a defeat. I took it as a Clear Defeat.

Actually this part in the rules are quite fuzzy. So I would propose in the next Royal Council Session this CA:

Following lines will be added to the Rule 2.5:

To get to the next rank(Rule 2.4) every Strategos must get certain amount of 'battle points'. If you retreat from the battle, with out fighting it, it will be counted as 'Close Defeat'. How many 'battle points' 1 battle gives are shown below.
"Crushing Defeat" -3 points
"Clear Defeat" -2 point
"Average Defeat" -1 point
"Close Defeat" 0 point
"Close Victory" 1/2 point
"Average Victory" 1 point
"Clear Victory" 2 points
"Heroic Victory" 3 points

do famous victories get any extra BPs?

No.

[SwissBarbar]

why count it as close defeat, maybe you just draw back to gain better battle position, an ordered retreat must not be a shame.

i pledge for counting it not at all, wich would mean the same for the Battle points, because a close defeat makes no difference

[kingsnake]

Isn't there a Heroic Defeat?

[00jebus]

once again, will be away for the weekend, try to withdraw from battle/merge with any other commander if at all possible.

and try not to get timmy killed, I don't wanna have to make a new nickname for a new avatar :P

[Celtic_Punk]

no heroic defeat, only close.

[SwissBarbar]

Isn't there a Heroic Defeat?

that would be a crushing defeat...

[Roka]

that would be a crushing defeat...

i tihnk he means like a defeat were you are heaviy outnumbered and you manage to kill a lot of the enemy
