    I'll be gone from tomorrow until the 16th of November. If someone wants to fight the possible battles I'd have to, then feel free to go at it.

    Hope you have fun wherever you're going, WH.

    Ignoramus has just PM'd me saying that he's having troubles with M2TW and requesting that I fight the Bruges battle. I can definitely get it done by TinCow's deadline, so taking the save now.

    -edit- ...and, the entire second part of my post has been made obsolete.

    Thanks to both Ignoramus and GH for getting the battle done quickly. Taking the save.

    From an OOC perspective, I thought we only let proxies fight if players will be absent for a very long period of time rather than not being able to fight it within the usual deadline (in which case it should be autoresolved)?

    The idea of a PvP assault on Bern got me excited, so I have come up with a map. We will use the Swiss Alps custom battle map with a huge city. This is my representation of that city:

    Oh God this is gonna be fun.

    Do the numbered points (S1, N5, etc) correspond to potential docking points or towers?

    The numbered points are the towers (N1 = first north tower). NG is north gate etc. Brown tracks are the roads. The blue splondge is a mini-lake. Thick blue lines mark where the attacker can set up behind. Basically, I took the mini-map and blew it up to get the dimensions of the walls, then annotated those features.
