    Default Battle Maps (revisited)

    hi all,

    Well, I spent a few hours doing a really basic battle up with maps/descriptions, see what you think:

    http://www.mbc.umt.edu/sTemp/mtw/

    What I'd like to do is get ahold of some GOOD replays (i.e. with commanders who have to deal with a bit more creative attack or defence) and do the same thing. Anyone know where I can find some?

    Thank you,

    Tamur

    Hey man, that is the clearest visual explanation of some M:TW battle mechanics that I've seen. I take it that you've read a lot of military history books?

    CA should hire you to do a tutorial on the forthcoming R:TW! It's the kind of stuff a newcomer would want to have a look at. Pretty basic strategic-wise, as you said, but great presentation.


    To the point: I tried to find a link to the replay section, but it is dead indeed. Bummer. I could email you some of mine, but I'm neither a tactics-guru nor do I have a lot of extraordinary replays, just some stuff from my last campaign that I enjoyed. (Well, you could see Louis commanding his 100 men to a stunning victory over 1200 rebels...)

    I can't see anything, is the page down or something?

    hi all,

    Apparently they're rewiring the building the server is in... but I hear it'll be okay today. Let me know if you're still having troubles.

    Louis, thanks and glad you liked it. I learn visually better than any other way, so I think I'll keep pursuing this.

    I'd be happy to check out your replays, do you have them posted anywhere or should I PM you with my email addy?

    PM me an email adress.

    BTW, your page is up again, or at least it's working fine for me.

    It was worth the wait... look forward to seeing some more lessons.

    Got another one up, using Ludens HA guide and one of SeljukSinan's replays. Thanks to everyone who has told me about or sent replays! It may be a while but I'll be going through them all and digging out relevant stuff for use. It's been great fun seeing the best of the best

    I'll leave this thread alone now, will update everyone again in October or November when there's a solid amount of content there (and a few RTW replays to boot).
