    I would love to participate but I'm very busy the next two weeks (Uni, parties, competitions, etc).

    Repeating myself here, but I think this tournament will bring us together as we tell tales and grudgingly respect each other. That is, if it is done in good spirits and with sportsmanship.

    Good idea to make it. Perhaps at some point people who prefers Suebi, Casse or whatever can participate as well.

    I wish Wursti made a Phalanx Strong video along with his Legion Strong video. That would work quite well for this thread. :-D

    That is unless someone wants to make some sort of propaganda video spoof for this contest.

    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Who is this... Wursti person? Some videos would definitely be nice.

    In the meantime, I borrowed Photoshop from a friend and started fiddling with it.
    Here's what I came up with so far:
    Nevermind...

    There'll be more to come. And if you'd like a personalised one I could do that.
    In the meantime, I'd like any screenshots you can throw at me. With mighty charges, furious clashes, fearsome fighting... anything as long as it has Roman, Hellenic units or (especially) both.

    To settle the deal between Romans and Greeks once and for all... both Italy and Greece are in deep s*** at the moment. Do you really think who had the biggest spear in antiquity makes any difference?

    It seems to me we have 4 roman and 6 greek generals. If anyone would chance side we'd be even.

    If this time goes well I'd love to do it like Potocello said: A monthly (or perhaps every second month depending how much time is needed for the preparations and the battles itself) tournament with different factions each month. (e.g. Celts VS Germans, Barbaroi Vs "civilized" people, HA-factions against each other etc.)



    And here's the replay of our test battle: Link


    The first round of the tournament has started. Who's going to prevail?

    Gladius or Sarissa, Scutum or Aspis?

    What about post marian troops? Post marian elite light infantry are always game changers in my games, and I use them extensively. They just mow down enemy cavalry like nobody's business.
