[EB]3v3 or 4v4 Historical Battle Logistics

[antisocialmunky]

Large or Huge or both?

[Arjos]

Made conversions for large unit size, Magnesia already gave quite a sense of confusion, Raphia is going to be even bigger ^^

[The Celtic Viking]

Yeah, 3 guys with 20 phalangitai - and then there'll still be 5 more present!

[Arjos]

Oh btw didn't answer yet, I'm ok with both 19 GMT saturday or whenever on sunday...
Edu any is fine, would be nice having the official one ready for historical battles aswell though ^^

[The Celtic Viking]

I too should be able to make it.

[TheShakAttack]

Lol. Let's avoid duplication of labor. Robin says he already has the EDU ready, so that's that. Any news on the "historical battle" making front?

EDIT: Also, we need to decide if it is 3v3 or 4v4. I get the feeling 4v4 is actually possible.

[Arjos]

It's 4v4 or nothing, far too many units :D
Ofc I'm happy to use Rob's edu, was just saying that, in the future, having all in one would save time ^^

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Hehe, you guys make it seem like its so much work. All I had to do, afaik is add Merc Thracians to the Ptolemioi. Everything else for this battle should be fine.

And oh TCV, you forgot the guy who gets to command 10(!) units of Argyraspides. Quite the lucky man. All those pointy sticks should be so beautiful as to make a man cry.
We need to take some screenshots of this one and upload them in the competition!

No, I just left that guy out. He gets the fun with that so let him seek recognition elsewhere. I feel more sorry for the guy who gets 15 pantos and 5 klerouchs and start out opposite klerouchs and pez's. :p

Well, I haven't put all too much time into it yet, so basically I've only looked around for good ground, and practiced making plain fields, which is a chore, for lack of a more expressive word. I also looked at the battlefield provided by the Raphia battle provided by the historical battles pack, but I think that plain is simply too small for the size of our battle.

I also did some quick modding to add the name Echecratos to the Ptollies as no version of it was available from start. That's it, though. I'll put some more time in later tonight.

[gamegeek2]

Actually, Rob, I'll put that edu on the front of the main EDU thread. No reason not to.

[Lazy O]

IM UP FOR IT PM ME CALL ME SWIM TO KARACHI AND WAKE ME UP I HAVENT PLAYED ANYTHING FOR WEEKS



me soul has been crushed

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

By the time I swim to Karachi I'm pretty sure the match will be over.

Just an heads up, that edu doesn't have fear for Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi, and no one wants to use it apparently XD

There will be a counterbalance for that soon enough.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Well there are no catphracts present at Raphia so it shouldn't be a problem whatever your point of view on the situation is. :p

[TheShakAttack]

How many people are able to make it at 1900 GMT tomorrow (Sunday, 13 November 2011) for battle of Arausio?

Sadly I won't. I've got work.

[Arjos]

Argh, Rob did not see that coming XD
lol seriously when would you have time?
I hope we can find a common schedule for everyone...

[TheShakAttack]

OK- so no one else available???? We might have to postpone this to next week. Maybe playing on a weekday will be better so that Robin can make it? As someone who has showed considerable interest and initiative, its only fair we try to accommodate his schedule.

[Arjos]

Not to mention he's just unlucky and will fail to attend any time XD

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Lol, the first time really was bad luck, the second, well, women have a certain pull on us, wouldn't you agree?

Anyways, I've been busy lately with applications and various other schoolwork. Wednesday sometime around 17:00 (I think that would be 1 on the east coast of the US but I am often wrong with this) would work for me considering we usually need a 2 hour window to get this working. But if there is another time you can fight this without me, go ahead. I'm sure once my apps are finished and I go on semester break I will have a lot more time.

No.

[The Celtic Viking]

As for today, I can whenever, as long as it's within reasonable GMT time. 19:00 GMT again is perfectly fine, though I'd prefer earlier. :p

Well, if your estimate of 01:00 EST is correct, then that would be 07:00 for me. That doesn't suit me, I'm afraid.

[Lazy O]

Nah its just the curse of the Lazyman. Im sure we will be able to do it on the 19th

Nice smiley btw robin.

[Arjos]

Are eight nice chaps going to log today or tomorrow for Arausio? :)

[The Celtic Viking]

You know I will.

[TheShakAttack]

I'm in. Please specify time.

[Lazy O]

Im in

[Arjos]

I have no idea about people's schedules, but so far the window of 18-21 GMT seemed the best option for everyone...
We could set that as regular, maybe on sundays even more hours...

[TheShakAttack]

cool. I can make that.
