Yet another fun game night yesterday. Glad so many people showed up to play, or just hang out in TS

[Steel Wolf]

And for those of you interested in the Skjaldborg, we don't only do things twice a week. We do random games, practices, and fun experiments all through the week. So if you're interested, hop on over to http://www.uobgaming.com/forum.php and check us out.

We've hit 2 companies worth of Mechwarriors!

So, here's a Centurion for each of our 3 companies.

[Adridos]

Just 24 people?

I thought you were counting your warriors in 10s, rather than simple individuals.

[Dihm]

We're each worth 10.

[Tramalhas]

What are you talking about, Befälhavare. Were worth 20.

But listen up, Any europeans joining will have the wonderfull posibility of piloting a red-crested centurion! whats not to love!

A warrior who stands on the front is always worth more than the ones hiding in bunkers.

Heh, ive been playing too much medieval total war. I instantly thought of the "it is easy to be brave when one is standing behind the ramparts of your fortress" quote.

Very nice. I miss playing that game. I used to do crusades against random places and give the Pope the conquered territory so he could deal with the riots. Well, that was in medieval 2 total war I think, but close enough.

Yeah using the Papacy in M:TW2 was a lot of fun. I played the Sicilians a lot, and kept getting stomped by the HRE in Naples/Bologna. Eventually what I did was build up papal favor, and declared a crusade on the Holy Roman Empire in order to amass two huge crusader armies.

Great games tonight. But some imrovement in anti-clan warefare might proove neccecary.

[Dihm]

I feel dirty after having portrayed Clan Wolf in that campaign.

Well, that is not true. If I have 300 people in the bunker, they can inflict massive casualties to an army of 1 000 000. Proven by history.

You miss the point. I wasn't saying against each other. I meant against the real threat that you Liao chaps sit out because your insane ruler is an *****.

you obviously havent been reading your history books. sure, a reduced number of troops CAN and will defeat a superior foe that charges blindly at them if they bunker down.... but if intelligant tactics are used, the high numbers can be effectivally used to annul any advantages. Take, for example, the battle at Poltava.

Whaaaaaaat? Who says Zerg rushes aren't a viable tactic?

We're slackin' on the convo. Our thread is getting pushed down in the crowd.

I had noticed that as well. We should take this time to talk bad about people who are left hand dominant. (snicker)

Lefties aren't real. They're a figment of our imagination.

And I don't consider that a shameless bump, Z. Keeping this much awesome up at the top is a public service.
