I just watched the MP video - it does look very slick.

It is. If you don't mind the generally low unit count (I know I don't), you should really consider this.

Looks interesting. Of course if I played it against Tamas I would be accused of winning and he would have to quit.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

:rolleyes: you exploited that ACW game. You sent 3 armies worth of yankee soldiers organized in a single division

:console:  Berkut does the same, so I know how you feel.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

That is why Hungarians lost at Lechfeld and Mohacs. Can't think outside the box.

Had a very close game as my first pbem match but lost :( Was Romans vs. the Acheans at Corinth, the Greeks had to avoid gathering 19 morale point-somethings to avoid routing en masse, I had to avoid 24. They were at 17 when I crossed into 25 :bleeding:

My initial plan was to hold their strong center with my spearmen allies while my crack legions wrap up both flanks, but the phalanxes fared much better than I anticipated, my allies were no match for them, so my only hope was to turn this into a Cannae, and altough their left did crumble, and their right was holding out for dear life, my center collapsed, routing the battlefield. Of course, my flankers were also pretty much exhausted.

Where'd you buy this game, by the way?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

There could be sources other than direct from Slitherine, no?
