C3C PBEM: "Dom Juan" - Great Armada scenario (version "c").

[LouLong]

Sorry for the delay but apparently there is a big problem in the set up.
Luthor, did you get my mail ? I think you should start again, using the MP version "c" otherwise the play order does not fit. For instance when I tried to laod I got to play Scotland which does not fit.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

I think I used the correct file (V 2_2cMP) and Ireland is not set to play after Spain. Can u pls check that?

 

[LouLong]

Checked. The correct file was not on VFC... errr :blush

Coorect file sent to Luthor. Sorry for the trouble and the restart.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Is this a foul attempt of the Spanish King to confuse the moorish rulers?

Game re-started and re-sent. GPS Version 2.

gps - again....

 

[LouLong]

Spain and Ireland have started moving.
Europe will be catholic...

Now we don't want to fight against our Muslim brothers but we would appreciate if they could move away from our lands... peacefully !

Edit : forgot !!

4 Dutch rebels killed for the price of one rider.
A Dutch militia and and English pikeman on the frontier were also killed by tercios.

I also forgot about the first turn, no fight - rule.
Only I just managed to loose 2 riders and promote a Frenck musketman without even scratching him.

What happened to no fighting during the 1st turn???? I think Spain should pay a penalty for this!

[semental]

Well, it does feel like the second turn. Although it looks like I came out on top against the League's preemptive strike.

perhaps no fighting for them 2nd turn.

 

[cubsfan6506]

LouLong I need you're email.

 

[LouLong]

Woops, forgot again... :-(
Errr, if you want I can take a penalty for attacking regular troops. But NOT for attacking guerillas are this is allowed.

Cubsfan, you should send to Knutis I believe, according to the play order I sent in the mail. I will copy it in the first post.

I tried loading it anyway and found it was the turn for Maghrib whiwh is weird... as it should be the League. Knutis, did you use a password ?
BTW please send me your password for this game by mail (won't use it except in case of replacement).

 

[Knutis]

I played before Cubsfan and sent the save to him, so I guess the play-order in the mail is a little wrong at the end between the League and Scotland.
So i believe Cubsfan should send it to Luthor and the Maghrib and not to me.
Please correect me if I'm wroing

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh! I just wanted to be a simple pirate and I can't!

Few things I (sadly) found out:
- Pirates don't attack nations which are at peace with.
- Pirates don't even give you the chance of declaring war when they try to attack (they just won't attack).
- It's not possible to simply declare war on another human, an attack must be made to trigger war.

So there goes my 'piracy' strategy down the drain... the pirate lords are gathered to define a new strategy... 'conventional war' is a term they have difficulty understanding...

Anyway.... GPS. Nothing to report apart from a pirats gathering to get some formal training on 'concepts of conventional war and fixed enemies'.

I relearned how wimpy bombards are in this game

On the one hand they did knock down walls in Blois and Avignon, on the other Avignon turned out to be a League training ground anyway.

Argenton - killed militia with Reiter - captured

Castres - lost rider, killed militia with rider, captured.

Limognes Killed militia and pikeman at a horrid cost of 2 musketmen and 3 reiters.

Then there is Avignon

Lost 4 Landknecht, 3 muskets and 2 reiters and only managed to kill a pikeman and a musket.

 

[LouLong]

The Irish launched massive attacks and suffered very heavy losses but after the first waves they had to go on...

Belfast resisted. 1 militia killed for the price of 1 knight and 2 gallowglass
Newry captured (militia, musket and bombard destroyed) for the heavy price of 7 gallowglass (the defenders got promotions...)
Dublin resisted. 2 pikemen, 1 militia and 1 musketman destroyed for the price of 1 knight and 2 gallowglass.
Nearby musket and pikeman were killed. We lost one gallowglass.

Spain bombarded one Dutch war Galleon by bombard and sunk it by a war galleon SW of Amsterdam.
Tercio kills English pikeman.

Indeed I made a mistake in the order of players. Will correct it.

 

[aksully]

It seems I may have violated rules too?? No naval bombardments? Is that correct?

Well I did bombard and destroy League roads. Can't undo what's been done. But I do need clarification..No Naval Bombardments during the game???

PS.I'm trying to unravel being in this game and RoCroy..I apologize for my confusion...it should get better????

You can hit troops not improvements. You can pillage with troops, whichever ones that can pillage.

If these are really house rules, they should be posted on post #1.
