FOG II -- Bootie vs Rico

[Rico]

@Bootie 's Vikings holding the high ground...

How goes the song?...
1 000 Vikings all lined up on a Hill
1 000 Vikings all lined up on a Hill
And if one Viking should accidentally fall...
There'll be 999 Vikings all lined up on a hill..."

 

[Rico]

Hordes of poorly armed rabble on the starboard bow, Sire!

 

[Bootie]

Coming at ya with pitchforks!

 

[Rico]

The lines are being stretched to breaking point -- looks like I'm going to have to pry them Vikings off the hill by force...

 

[Bootie]

Im glad Im at least putting up a bit of a fight.

 

[Bootie]

I did it... the timer favoured me... another turn or two and my stand would have collapsed. Great game Rico.

 

[Rico]

It was just a Hill Too Far for my Anglo-Saxons -- well played @Bootie -- fun challenge trying to work my way around/through that solid Viking hilltop shieldwall

New battle set up if you're keen -- Romans Legions vs Macedonians Pikes...

 

[Rico]

Battle is joined... my Macedonians have maneuvered well to swing round to (hopefully) crush Legate Bootius's right flank and rid the Hellenistic world of these Italian upstarts!

 

[mTk]

Would like to get in on this. I'm pretty sure my skill level is such that you will fight to get to see who plays me next.

 

[Bootie]

Set something up and send it over mTk its been quite a while.

 

[mTk]

Yes, it has. Will see what I can find tomorrow.
Battle ya' soon!

@Bootie @mTk -- you may want to join in here?

Donning The Purple - Roman Civil Wars - CLOSED

This is the FOG II version of the King Of The Hill tournament. Players battle their way to Rome, eliminating opponents along the way, to secure their seat on the imperial throne as CAESAR! Seeing this is a civil war -- FOG II battles are medium-size Roman vs Roman (for variety, players can...

Nah, I'd just be cannon fodder.

Wait. Could I play Bootie all the time?

 

[Rico]

@Bootie finds a suitable hill and hunkers down with his Scots (and Ireland Viking allies) against my approaching Anglo-Saxons (mostly off-screen to the left)



Gonna be quite the job to dig them out of that position ... maybe I can lure them down by dangling some fresh haggis from a few pikes...?

 

[mTk]

I have never seen a hill(s) like that. I want one!

Having disposed of Bootibal Barca's Carthaginians my Romans are looking at you @Rico.

[Rico]

@Bootie is having a grand old time swatting away my ineffectual attempts at storming his hill stronghold... in real life I'd surround it, besiege it starve him out until his troops run out of whiskey and dried haggis... LOL

 

[mTk]

"until his troops run out of whiskey..."
Soo, you're saying it would take, uhm, what? About an hour or so?

 

[Bootie]

Another victory in the bag... rrrraaaaarrrrr.

Actually I played that one like an asshole and thanks to Rico for keeping his troops attacking. Nice big hill my side of the map and I was like yeah... lets see if height is much of an advantage, safe to say it definitely is as I massacred his troops at a rate of 5 to 1.

Deployed javelins and archers to attack his troops before they got near the hill then moved my spearmen into the front line to fight down on his attacking hordes. Worked a treat... was a little jiggery pokery now and again as Rico tried to flank and I had to rotate my hilltop defence line a couple of times.

Thanks Rico.

Yeah, was trying to figure out if there was a way up there and a way to stretch his defences ... but all the slopes were basically double-elevation "difficult"slopes, so immediate disorder moving up them... needed a battery of those Roman catapults ;-)
