I want to confirm what is happening with this.

Last night we marked our starting positions on the map. I will produce a copy of this for the forum when I get a chance, probably Thursday. I will also try an make the map and hexes bigger so it is easier to see various units.

On the 18th we will move armies and do all necessery dice rolls for your faction. This is normally done in order of empire size but as we all have 7 hexes it will be in the same order as we set up except that Dicko will have to roll to find his starting position. I urge all players to have decided at least one Hero and Regiment of renown from their army decided on becuase if you do not then any bonus to these units will be lost.

We will then have 4 Mondays 17th, 24th, 31st and 7th Feb for everyone to complete any battles , if you do not play the game on a Monday night and there is no reason you have to or I am not at the club for some reason, then please inform me of the result via PM. Failing that Sam has offered to assist in anything I can not do.

On the fith Monday - 14th Feb, we will move and do dice rolls again.

One important rules change.
After looking at the map and our positions I realised that if armies return the home each turn then who each person get to fight will be limited. Therefore I have made the following rules change: At the end of the turn an army *may* return to your home area, it can also stay where it is to continue it attacks into enemy territory

Also can someone get a message to Rob. I agreed to play him next week but after careful thought I have realised that processing the first turn for 11 players will take more time than we will have at the end of the night. So if someone can get my apologise to him or agree to fight him then I would be grateful (he should be on the forum as a player but some are holding out!!)

With regards to the general of the faction and his two lieutenants, do these have to be represented in games (and thus used with the same gear each time). Are they separate to the named heroes and regiments of renown that are requested.........


James

The General and Lietenants can be the same as your heroes of Renown but that can be different. For instance I may decide to have a Wight King as one of my Heroes but I would not have him as a General or Lieutenant as they would be Vampires. In general though I would expect people to have the same.

The Regiments and Heroes of renown are just a way of adding a bit of flavour to the game so that people can build them up. If you get sucessful you could end up equiping him with loads of magic and it costing you nothing. If I get time I may take the information to create overall campaign reports but I am hoping that other create personal reports.

OK Attached is the map with starting position. I have made it bigger and so it now prints on 15 pages!!!

The borders are free hand by necessity as the software will only do one border if I snap to line, still should do.

So start look for opponent and territory to take - Dicko's mine!!!!
