I will try to get on if I wake up in time. HS comes soon, and then I will have no more time for these parties. Tomorrow, if I make it, will most likely be my last for a while.

Bah... it's not as time-consuming as they make you think it is. (Especially not the first week.)
I might be there. Depends on what time I roll out of bed, and whether or not I decide to go to the library...

I am part of a Scholastic Club that has tournaments on Saturdays, and it starts up with school I believe.

That's a good point. I start tennis this Monday, and last year we had Saturday morning practice for quite a while. =/
I'm hoping it's at a different time this year.

If worst comes to worse we could move it to a different time of the week. Maybe Friday nights or something.

I came just in time to see 6 people start a battle. Lucikily for me Evil Beagle turned up and we had a nice little (humiliating ) 1 vs 1.
The others seemed to have finished about the same time as we did which was nice so I culd join them (Adder seemed to have left and Evil Beagle went to eat). We were about to play a Seleucids vs Egypt game when my computer froze and I had to restart.
Then we had a 7 player free for all on grassy flatlants which was quite fun. I was Greeks and made a box of armored hoplites on deep grass. I put them out of phalanx formation so they could hide.
JudetheObscure was Egypt and he sent his chariot general to my location to get a good look. That's when I poped up with my two heavy peltasts. The general charged them and caused some casualties but they had thrown their javelins. After some charging and ifghting his chariots suddenly started to die of and the stupid pharaoh panicked and fled the field. (It seems like maybe Jude forgot to consider that chariots have multiple hit points so casualties only show after some time when it can be too late and that peltasts have a bonus against them.)
Egypts reaction was to send in his pharaoh's bowmen. I didn't move. They started shoting and all I did was to rotate that one phalanx that had their back turned towards them.
I was patient. As far as I was considered they could shoot as much as they wanted. I wouldn't move.
Jude then used his desert cavalry to fend of a Brutii cavalry attack. This also distracted some of the bowmen. I didn't move.
Unfortunately I then had to go because a storm was gathering here at my place and the only protection my computer has against lighting is pluging it out. I'm sure I would have won if I stayed.
I'm confident I wouldn't have lost more than a 30% of my armoured hoplites to the bowmen. And once the arrows are used up nothing could beat my phalanx box. And of course I also had a backup plan. :evil grin:

Yes...well taking on the pikebox with some archers and desert cav was probably going to be the end of me...luckily, brutii provided a legitimate reason for me to abandon that prospect and turn my attention to the Brutii...and then eventually to the remnants of the other players before the long dormiant SPQR awoke to finally finish off my, as he called, Egyptian War Machine

You guys seemed to have a great time! Too bad I was away the past weekend.
However, if I could make it, I'd be there with bells on. Now, post the picture.
