| Oh what a lovely (war)game it was! - pieandmash (Mar 26, 2013, 10:58 am) |
Phew!a close run thing...all players and GM I salute you.
Yes having only 5 players on this map makes it brutal, but id like to see more trials before passing judgement on improvements because you can build anywhere, and as Aragon I was expecting Burgundy fleets on the med at any point, that would have done me. But certainly England looks impregnable with the sea spaces as they are.
The 4 way should have come about, which is a problem for this game I think, it only didnt because, well i got bored! but i was very lucky to get the 3 way.
A great bunch of players with no replacements- fantastic.
cheers

| Oh what a lovely (war)game it was! - pedros (Mar 26, 2013, 9:52 am) |
That's it then. Ground to a 3-way deadlock after 8 years.
Very enjoyable game despite the disappointing result. The map needs some attention, but the idea (5-player expansion of Hundred) is a good one. Thanks Matthew for the opportunity and for the GMing - faultless (apart from your attempt to resurrect a Castilian fleet to hold me up even further!)
France is the obvious target with the map as it is - surrounded by the other four and an easy victim. And so it went. Once France was weakened Castile and Aragon decided to split off and fight Burgundy and me (England) but they had little chance of making progress. A fairly attritional war until Aragon stabbed Castile in 1306 (I think it was.) I may have missed a trick there; I wasn't fast enough of the mark to offer friendship to Castile, which might have changed the game, and he quickly dropped out. Aragon proposed that he and I take on Burgundy, but it seemed clear to me that he would gain a lot more than I would out of that one.
The final problem was the map - the sea spaces are totally divided into three sections - those to the north of France, the Med, and the two/three spaces in the West. England is always going to control the northern waters with no challenge let alone difficulty; Only Aragon gets a look in with the Med; and there is little room for movement in the West. Fairly early Castile tried to persuade me that there was no way into that area for me; I'm still not convinced that was true, but it was always going to take a long time (in the event Aragon's stab undermined Castile's defence.)
Those are the problems which need to be fixed before this becomes the excellent small variant it could become (alongside such as Baltic.)
1. Find a way to give France a decent game - at the very least it needs a fleet on the Channel coast. A France-Burgundy alliance might be interesting, but I doubt whether Burgundy would see enough mileage in it to make it a realistic starter.
2. Free up the western waters - I'd suggest that a new space is needed west of the current Mid-Atlantic and possibly touching Gibraltar and the Atlantic space in the north-west.
3. Open up the Med to somebody other than Aragon. At present there is almost no hope of anybody coming from the north managing to build even a single fleet there even if they do manage to take Piedmont or Languedoc.
But don't get me wrong - I think this map has huge potential.[Reply] |

| DC440: War is raging in Western Europe this year... - mmedeiros (Dec 13, 2012, 10:12 pm) |
Aquitaine, long held by the English, has now fallen to Castilian rule. With decisive tactics the English were expelled from this area. But the victories have only minimal impact on the French condition. With England and Burgundy stripping the French King of his royal realms, he has now been relegated to the northern regions France. And with the loss of much of the King's lands, revenues have fallen and conscripts have dwindled, and the ability to maintain the once great companies of knights and fleets has declined. To the south, the Kingdom of Aragon holds sway over the seas. And in the center, Burgundy has spread its armies rapidly to overcome the French and restore its former size and control.
Let us see what continued war brings in this year of 1302 as the English King enforces his claim over the French crown.....[Reply] |
| Western Europe Circa 1300 - mmedeiros (Nov 25, 2012, 2:36 pm) |
English King's claims to the French throne is relentless in the year of our Lord, 1300. The forged alliance with Burgundy has resulted in the occupation of Paris and Toulous. But France will not yield to this insubordination by the Duke of Normandy. To combat English-Burgundian aggression France has annexed Brabant and Brittany to hopefuly find conscripts and build its armies. The threats to the French Kingdom are mounting as the English have amassed a naval storm to the north -- such naval might not seen since the great sea-going battles of the Roman civil wars -- Burgundy's defiance in the east and support of the English claim, and the possible invasion of the south by the Aragonese in need of land and resources. Castilian hegemony continue to sweep through the Iberian with the taking of Portugal and the expulsion of the Saracens from Granada...

The King of England, Duke of Normandy, wishes to emphasise his gratitude to
the noble King of France for our warm relationship over many centuries, and
to emphasise that he wishes only to occupy his ancestors' home.
We greatly regret the absence of any constructive discussion over this

| DC440: Regarding orders and submissions. - mmedeiros (Nov 23, 2012, 11:40 am) |
Hello everyone. Happy thanksgiving! So, just to let you know, I have received finalized orders from two players so far. Like I said before, if I receive finalized orders from all players starting Nov. 22 (11 pm GMT) or later, I'll process the orders as soon as possible to speed up the pace of the game. However, the last day to submit orders is Nov. 25 at 11PM GMT (I'll then process orders whether finalized or not). So, no pressure on submitting orders-- continue your negotiations if need be. If you have just submitted finalized orders, you may continue to submit revisions to your orders and indicate whether finalized or not. I'll only process the very last set received at the time when I receive finalized orders from all players, or on the deadline (Nov. 25).
Thanks.
