THREE KINGDOMS - FOG Medieval Campaign - TURN 4

[Rico]

You can't anyway, seeing as I occupy Reitano right now. Negreno either, am I right?

He can -- ony applies to Major Towns and Capitals.

Diplomacy represents all the various non-military means the two powers might leverage to influence a Major Town or City —bribery, treachery, coup attempts, or simply currying political favour. Catania, Syracusa and Major Towns with an enemy army may never be targets of Diplomacy.

Page 6 says: major or minor town with an enemy army.

Am I using a different set of rules? Is there a v1.2 ?

Ah ... yes, that one is right -- there's a discrepancy between that and page 3 intro of Diplomacy. (I hate writing rules -- good thing I am not a lawyer...LOL)

This is the correct rule (we go with the one on page 6):

A Diplomacy operation may be played in any neutral or hostile space (except Capital Cities, or a major or minor town with an enemy army).
A Diplomacy action allows one die roll attempt on the Diplomacy Table.



@Nathangun -- please replay your action.

Shit, sorry guys.
Army 1 to Negreno: modifiers -1 hostile city, rolled a 7: Result 6.

No prob -- what size is your Army?

10 pts.

Catania Army I marches to Negreno.

Catania Army I revealed as 10 strength.
Syracusa Army II revealed as 10 strength.

Syracusa Army II stands and fights -- Map die roll: 5 --> Hilly

1000pts vs 1000pts

@Nathangun -- battle challenge set up. Pw: FGM1

 

[chiquichops]

I'll be rooting for both of you!

Who's winning?

 

[chiquichops]

It looks as if this round might give some results, it's been pretty much a stalemate so far.

Yeah... mostly it’s been the bad dice rolls that’s been doing all the winning.

Battle for Negreno is finally up and running this morning -- my wifi conked out yesterday evening.

Back in action today.

 

[Rico]

Battle for Negreno is a very cagey affair ... caution reigns on both sides so far -- nobody wants to stick their neck out too much.

 

[Rico]

Battle for Negreno eventually getting up close and personal... my Ottomans finally managed to rout and disrupt some of @Nathangun 's units and close the % count a bit (it was 16% to 0 in his favour at one point) -- but the effort and ammo expended might spell my doom at the end ... those pike units are nigh indestructible by fire at range...
(forgot to take a screenshot -- try and remember next turn)

 

[Nathangun]

The end is nigh.

 

[Rico]

This one is heading for a Draw.

 

[Nathangun]

Our battle ended, on screen it was 32% loses each. On further inspection @Rico edged it.

Interesting fight -- both sides wanted to keep losses down -- definitely a DRAW.

Damn, looking at that screen, we were badly outnumbered in terms of manpower -- in the end both Armies lose 2 strength points and are reduced to 8 points.

I'll update the map a little later this afternoon/evening.

That's want makes campaign battles more interesting, no matter if it's FOG or CM campaign if done right.
