Meh don't know yet if I'll be able to join, next weekend is going to be really busy...

[Armatus]

Hmm registration is not looking good...

[GeneralChaos]

Damn, I'd be up for an M2 tournament, but 7 people might be a tall order.
Anyway:

AlexandertheMediocre
Footmen/spearmen/cav/archer (in that order)
Byzantines/France/Mongols

[Armatus]

Then vote?

Edit: actually if we get at least 6 we can still play these rules, otherwise we will have to change them. However we can always recruit from the lobby.

[Spartaaaa]

Ill take team 2 captain of footmen top three factions Scotland\Denmark\England\
My ganespy name is cam

[Armatus]

Well we are going to need at least two more before it will be worth updating the teams.

[Armatus]

^ Bumping this to see if anyone new would be interested

and so I don't have to create a whole new topic, but rather change the dates.

[VersionLangley]

This is intersting alright. I'm in.......since this kind of game would take forever to organize in the lobby alone

Mongol/Russia/Egypt
Cavalry/spearmen/Footmen

[Armatus]

Great! now we just need at least 4 more to join.

[avion365]

edit;sorry forgot
france->cav.
scots->spearmen
england->footmen
archers->depends

[Armatus]

Sure you can, 3 more!

[Armatus]

Ok time to bump this. The OP is updated, round 1 is set for the first weekend in November.

Since it's been a while, please update your registration and I'll start filling slots.

You can switch teams, this isn't set in stone so if we miss a few players we'll have to recruit online.

[Armatus]

For those of you who need to see to believe...

Ok here was the big new 4v4 rules experiment game! and a great game it was my allies were on fire literally


Team 1

[USER]Armatus[/USER] -- Capitan of the archers
[USER]gEKKo[/USER] -- Capitan of the spearmen
-=SBR=-_Sathanas -- Commander of the light & heavy infantry
[X]SCOTIA[X] -- Commander of the cavalry

Team 2

[USER]Thompson45cal.[/USER] -- Capitan of the spearmen
{Knight}AK_The_Great -- Commander of the cavalry
{Knight}Omar -- Capitan of the archers
snakedragon -- Commander of the light & heavy infantry

My allied commanders incinerated...

[VersionLangley]

what period is this game on? early, high, late, all?

[Armatus]

We can decide the starting era here. Once the first match is won the winners can pick era, map and time of day.

[Armatus]

Here's the other match we had if there is still disbelief...

Greetings all,

Here is a second attempt (see the first one here) at the Captains & Commanders Rules. I'm not going to go into great depth on this one as the purpose of using these rules was slightly out of wack with what went down. My team got beat fair and square and there was clear disarray on both sides. What I would really like to really see in the future is much more tactical coordination. But for now I will simply highlight some great pictures from my team's valiant struggle to win.

I will say TCal you had them beat at the start, we just didn't have much support for you in time and as you can see about half way through the tide starts to turn and we eventually lose by about 20% or so.

The Opponents

seko (Milan | Skirmishers)
[USER]Armatus[/USER] (Milan | Infantry)
[USER]Thompson45cal.[/USER] (Milan | Cavalry)

Verses

Proteus | Aggony Clan (The Papal States | Skirmishers)
Reborn | Aggony Clan (The Papal States | Cavalry)
|L|MichelNey | Celtic Alliance Clan (The Papal States | Infantry)

[VersionLangley]

HRE/Port/Fra
Cavalry/Missle/Spear

[Armatus]

ok well wasn't sure, but i can tell you most everyone that plays these rules has fun.

[VersionLangley]

I don't know. Which era is consider standard?
I normally go high period but some may disagree
