[EB]3v3 or 4v4 Historical Battle Logistics

[TheShakAttack]

Alrighty. Looks like we’re getting close to finalising the army compositions for the first historical battle fought on a 3v3 scale on EB! And, the weekend is nearly here! Now, to take care of the logistics.

Time: What time this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) would be suitable for everyone? Please state in +/- GMT.

Players: Who is interested in taking part?

I propose that we appoint Vartan (unless he wants to play ofc) as the referee. Whoever is interested in playing should indicate preference of faction (Rome or AS) below. If it is heavily unbalanced, then the ref can re-allocate players to make balanced teams.

Then there is the matter of choosing the generals on each side- I’ve written my thoughts on this before (see other post). I’d be inclined to say that once the general/consul is selected, we should allow them to decide how to allocate roles within the team.

Unless I am wrong, we will be taking over the historical positions that captains/consuls/legates/generals took. So there is not much flexibility in that we will not be able to deploy units as we want to.

As far as I know, the following people have clearly stated they want to play/participate:

Lazy
Robin
Arjos
Me (Shak)
Yavanna (Cyris)
Roach
Vega
Burebista

The following people have participated in the discussions, but have not clearly stated that they wish to take part in the battle:

ASM
GG2
Gaius
Kival
TCV
Vartan

So please make your desire to participate explicit if you don't mind, just so we have a rough idea of numbers.

Lets get the following decided within the next 36 hours (it would be nice if we could start the weekend with most things taken care of, and to discuss plans/tactics ):

1. Time of play (+/- GMT please) - once this is decided, we will be able to see who can make it and who cant and will make team selection for the referee much easier.

2. Teams.

Hmm... A lot of people. I doubt this will get done in a single match.

Either way, I should be available most of the day this week.

Next week (and after that) - after 1700 hours GMT on Monday and Wednesday, after 1900 hours GMT on Tuesday and Thursday, after 1200 hours on Friday.

[Arjos]

Any time is fine for me, except friday and saturday evenings/nights...

[Lazy O]

I propose any time said players are online.....

[TheShakAttack]

That would be a very disorganised way to go about it. Given the amount of time and energy people are putting into this, I think it deserves to be a little organised. Deciding on a time slot of about 2-3 hours will make sure we know who is coming to play, who is on what team, etc.

I am hereby clearly stating that I am taking part in this battle.

As for time, well, if we are going to do it on Sunday, then we will have to wait until possibly as late as ~15:30 (GMT +2), depending on how quickly I can finish my exam. On Saturday though I can whenever.
