Happy birthday, AG !!

Indeed. Don't celebrate too hard.

[Tamur]

Indeed. Don't celebrate too hard.

I don't think that's an option for AG. If it's a party, AG is there and ready to party - especially if there are those dancing pink elephants involved.

[Ramses II CP]

Happy birthday, AG !!

Ditto that!

[Cecil XIX]

Happy birthday, AG !!

I'd send you a severed head as a present, but I don't think it'd get through customs.

But no matter, have a Happy Birthday!

yay! happy birthday!! So, what is it? 30?? (again )

[Northnovas]

Happy birthday, AG !!

Hey didn't you just have one last year!

Careful of those dancing pink elephants. Best Wishes AG!

For the sake of clarification (and the first post of the Lorraine thread): Is Staufen still in the Duchy or not?

[Braden]

I can answer: yes but not now, and as far as I believe this whole thing is behind us, but perhaps Trist needs to confirm this for us

the scenario (as I believe it to be) is that it was established Staufen was firmly in the Duchy of Lorraine and had been for some time. Lorraine was not "independant" as it is a Ratified Duchy...hence the lands go to the Duc of Lorraine as promoted by the King - i.e Henri

As such Staufen is now within Charles' ownership now and Villain is a member of the Royal household.

[_Tristan_]

Hasn't it been given to Charles, rather ? Though the King would argue it is in the King's Demesne...

[Braden]

Wot Trist said...exactly that.

Guy's!!!

Yes, I'm counting backwards now so I'm 36 going on 35!!

I recommend it for all you chaps who have hit the peak (30) and are starting the "George Clooney/Sean Connery decline with style" period. :-)

Thanks for all the best wishes.

It's all downhill after 35? Ah, hell... I better make use of my remaining few years...

Happy Birthday!

[Braden]

Darn-it!

Well, not had a chance to take the save tonight, I'm messaged several people to take the save through the day as I knew I couldn't make it and play that battle outside Frankfurt through though. I'm hoping at least Ituralde can take it or another of the Order Avatars as Marcus Agrippa may well miss the deadline.

[Braden]

Having a problem with the save. For some reason, I'm moving Lorraines army into the intercept "red" zone but its not coming as re-enforcements if Henri attacks

However, if I move it and then attack with the stack...Henri does come as re-enforcements.

Is that right or a "glitch"?

[Ramses II CP]

If you're sallying out of a town you need any reinforcements to be next to the town walls in order for them to arrive on the field. If they're just next to the enemy army they can't come into the battle.

[Braden]

Ok, think I understand and I don't think I've got them in the right red bit then. No matter.

Save is back. Run with it, still have hopes that one person from that stack wants to fight a battle!

[_Tristan_]

The save has been taken for almost 8 hours now by Marcus... I intended to do my senechal things on deadline but I will certainly allow a "slight" overtime for people who didn't get a chance to do their moves.

[deguerra]

Hey oldie, a belated happy bday from the younger generation

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

At uni I'm surrounded by people who are still under 20, so being able to say that for a change is nice

[_Tristan_]

The save posted by Marcus Agrippa is the wrong one... The siege of Frankfurt is not lifted...

Marcus, could you quickly repost the right save ?

[Braden]

I'm messaged and emailed him to try and get this resolved ASAP.

EDIT - I have also messaged other members in the stack to see if they can take the save and re-run the battle.

[Ituralde]

That's a bummer! I won't be home and able to fight any battles until 4 hours from now. So I jus thope Marcus Agrippa gets this sorted out.

[Braden]

Other avatars in the stack include Elite_ferret with André des Vaux and shlin28 with Villain de la Salle so I'd hope someone from that list could at least fight the battle again if we get no response from Marcus Agrippa.

However, if nothing is heard from anyone in the next 2hrs I'd be content to let the save slip through as it is and let the IC re-percussions fall on those...who...have...failed...me (he said in an over the top booming voice)

[Tamur]

...let the IC re-percussions fall on those...who...have...failed...me

ha! oh dear, what excitement that could lead to.

[shlin28]

I'll play it

[Braden]

Villain to the rescue!

[_Tristan_]

As Marcus' post (or rather edit) predates Shlin's, I'll go from Marcus' save.

However, I won't be able to access the save right now so if other people have business to conduct with it please use Marcus' save.

[Braden]

Sorry to say but Marcus's save does not work. It is far too small a file and doesn't even register as a save file whilst "in game".

Use Shlin28's file.

We'll have to check with Marcus that he's got everything correct with uploading and using the save file I think.

[Braden]

Just to clarify what happened last night as I was rushing doing the posts (being hounded by the misses to get off the PC).

Downloaded and tried to use the edited version of the save Marcus put up but it didn’t show up on the save file list “in game”. Tried it several times, reloaded the game with a fresh copy after double checking it was present in the correct save file folder. Still wouldn’t show.

I finally checked the details of the file to find it was something like only 43kb in size, clearly not the complete save file we’re using which is about 2mb.

Uploaded Shlin28’s version and it worked fine.

I decided to use the working save file and moved some troops about between Avatars around Frankfurt and sending the two Order Avatars more towards Antwerp to help there.

Hope this is ok with everyone. Thought we needed a working save file rather than chasing down another copy.
