LORDS OF THE WEST circa 450

[fogman]

Lords of the West 450 has been expanded to 8 players with 7 scenarios, by adding Adrianoples 378 and Argentoratum 357 (a blend of Lords of the West and Lords of History!)

Each player now plays 14 games (initiating 7 challenges and receiving 7), enough to keep busy until the end of the year, and hopefully, the new version of FoG.

Challenge table (Challengers are side 2)

ex: Iandavidsmith (as Huns) challenges Londo for the "Allies vs Huns" scenario, and (as West) challenges Jonathan for the "East vs West" scenario etc.

Note that matchups are asymmetrical mirror except, for variety, Adrianoples which is symmetrical mirror (two same players play both sides against each other).

Scenarios to be downloaded:
LOW450 part 1: viewtopic.php?f=92&t=52334
LOW450 part 2: viewtopic.php?f=92&t=52335
Adrianople 378: viewtopic.php?f=92&t=43912
Argentoratum 357: viewtopic.php?f=92&t=42082 (the updated version FM Argentoratum)

Scoring: percent of enemy losses on a 1-10+ scale. eg. 25/50 gives 5 pts (it is possible to exceed 10 pts)

start date: immediately.
end date: end of calendar year. (we're not fussy)

A quick reminder: because the challenger is side 2, the receiving player gets to play the first turn. All challenges are single games, even Adrianople (as both players will initiate the challenge as second side).

It is also a good idea to play hotseat games of the scenarios on the side to get an idea of the situation.

I can't see them , did you post using campaigns by chance ?
Ian

[LordNytram]

I issued historical scenario challenges. Is that not right?

[iandavidsmith]

No sorry , i mean did you Pike and Shot to issue the challenge or Pike and Shot Campaigns , both
use different servers for PBEM games , i only have access to the original Pike and Shot at the
moment ,
Ta
Ian

[LordNytram]

I don't know which servers the game uses. Just use the software in the FOG PC game which links to what ever servers it uses. Isn't Pike and Shot a completely different game?

[iandavidsmith]

OH MY GOD ! I am too old , Sorry my mistake , forgot i am playing FoG not P&S
One thousand and one apologies , i shall now go and take the BLUE pill instead !
Ian

[Geordietaf]

I'd take a moment to check exactly what kind of blue pill it is before you take it....
