KingMaker PBeM - QuickPlay!

[uckelman]

Thus spake Morgoth:

Initial Setup - Update (with the possibility of a fifth player,
unless he doesn’t get back to me today!)

Would you guys mind moving to the Games in Progress forum if you’re
going to play a game here? Thanks.

Will do J.!

I’ll make my first post of the new game in the said forum, when we’re 100% sorted
with players. Tues night (UTC timezone) will be the start of the game. I think I’m
4 or 5 hours ahead of other players, being in Scotland?

I’ll have to check the ambush rules (it’s been 3 decades after all! I’ll be “checking” ALL of 'em!)…

@PzrLehr

…but an ambush can only kill the bottom noble if more than one…no?

Taken from the 2nd Ed Rulebook …

AMBUSH
A battle in which the attacking force cannot hope to gain at least an indecisive
result (i.e … the defending force has a ratio of 4/1 or better in troop strength) is no
longer allowed. An attacking force which is too weak to do battle may ambush instead.

An ambush is conducted in the same manner as a normal battle except that only
the lowermost printed Noble in the “Nobles killed section of the Event card” is killed.
The other noble(s) above him in the “nobles killed” section are ignored. As it is required
for the defender to be at least 4 times stronger than the attacker, any surviving
ambusher(s) are automatically captured by the defender. “Bad Weather” postpones an
ambush.

Noble(s) in a town, city or castle cannot be ambushed.
ONLY the bottom noble is killed and the attacker is automatically captured (unless “Bad Weather” puts a dampener on things!) …
Walts

…yes, but as my question was; what happens to the captured survivors?

[PzrLehr]

@Morgoth

Hail Nobles!

As you’ll know, combat is key to the game and requires the turning of an Event card, so as a suggestion to retain the attackers/defenders honor, might I suggest we use the next player inline to pick the outcome of a battle?

Any other suggestions appreciated!

Walts, High Lord of Scotland!

Actually the principle would be the same no matter who draws the card.

See rules on Page 4 … CAPTURE OF NOBLE COUNTERS … and Page 3 for NOBLES KILLED (if not ransomed!),

Yeah, that seems to be what other players are saying. Best to keep things flowing and let the attacker do the card draw?

…going good : )

Great game guys!!

[amandkm]

Can we get an update? What heirs are held? who has met the block?

[Morgoth]

Here’s the latest logfile from the Knot playa as he lays
siege to the Nobles of the Crescent faction!

Walts (Acorn)

[Stiglr]

A bevy of logfiles in your email, amandkm!

and the above turn there represents some of my finest work to date, I must say!
