Strategi Gregoshi and Advisora Barocca,

When are we starting?!

**Gregoshi** · 07-28-2005, 20:10

Go!

Translation: Whenever you have the time.

Oh you mean we pick our own battles to write about? If that's the case I hereby announce that I will be, for my first attempt, writing on the battle of Arbela/Gaugamela.

How do we submit our work?

If we can pick our own battle, I think I want Teutoberg Forest.

edyzmedieval and pezhetairoi,

can we start right away? Gaugamela is fine to me. (I still remember Alex on his horse when he spoke to his men). Well, this battle is very well known. Won't be too difficult.

Maybe we start a new thread, where we can put everything together. I guess we start withthe history and story follows.

Should we ask IliaDn to join?

Franc, this sounds good! But I don't think it's right to take up Org server space (or whatever it is... bandwidth, memory, whatever) for just the three of us and one thread... what say we team up and I'll start a private egroup? If you say okay, just PM me with your email, yep?

Maybe we could make this team permanent and start churning out battle stories from all eras... Starting with Gaugamela... we could move on to, I don't know... Hastings? Or something. But that's for the future. :) For now... Gaugamela!

What say you start putting together the events leading up to the battle, including Darius' movements? I have a diagram of the precise dispositions and the conduct of the battle so I'll deal with the nitty-gritty of the battle, e.g. unit movements.

Of course, RTW walkthroughs may be...difficult to do :-\ Maybe it can be done, but it takes quite a bit of engineering... Gee, this is like writing a screenplay and directing the thing :-P

taking up org space is more than welcome,
we have no restrictions on space or bandwidth
:-)
