The Will of the Senate - Out of character thread V

No problems with 1.5, I have an install with that version as well. Want to plan on something around noon MST on Saturday? I also run a BF2/BF2142/ETF community and we host a Teamspeak server as well. If you want to use Teamspeak to make setup easier, I can create a private channel for us. That would probably be easier from a troubleshooting aspect.

Noon saturday is good, teamspeak is fine if you want it.

I suppose I should, at this stage, mention that I'm not entirely new to MP, in that I've played it in vanilla, the first release of RTR 6.0, as well as EB, having no technical issues in any of them. This is why I suspect there won't be an issue.

I'd be willing to practice against anybody Friday Saturday or Sunday, we just need to work out a time.

And Mount, what was my wish? *lost*

The situation at the end of turn 3 (late morning) of the battle of Ancrya:

Note to Braden and Tamur: there may be some light cavalry off to the right of the map, but they are out of command and out of sight.

Another note to the participants - sending me a map of where you would like the units you can control to be at the end of turn 4 would be very useful. However, don't move the Battle Divisions or the Senate Reserve Division - they are committed and after the antics your generals got up to in turn 3, I really can't see them being able to effect any kind of tactical control over them in this turn. The scrummage will be resolved by the end of this turn, however, and then the victors be free to control the survivors.

To the non-participants: apologies for not making progress with the campaign. Resolving this battle is surprisingly time consuming. I hope to play turn 3 of the war on the campaign map this weekend and ideally finish off this battle, so I can move the victor as well and then press "end turn".

That thing about writing a story with different authors for the differenct characters.

Oh yeah, it happened, just not quite in the manner I had expected it to. Though I am very, very pleased with the incredible story unraveling in the civil war stories thread.

This is really touch-and-go at the moment!

I can't call who's going to win but what I do know is...

....I really don't believe they'll be much of a victorious army left, whoever leads that army.

(though, potentially not Appius and definately not Manius's adoptive son - RiP)

Oj, it's tense! And with the cause at hand I don't think there will be an easy victory for either side. Whoever wins will have to do a lot of recruiting on the way to Rome.
