| Re: [eia] Victory at Leipzig? |
If this interpretation were correct, then we have been playing sieges wrong since we started playing this game. My instincts tell me that this is not what the designers intended. I will consult Empires in Harm and see what they say. kdh ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Helle" <jhelle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "public list for an Empires in Arms game" <eia@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 8:30 PM Subject: [eia] Victory at Leipzig? I have been studying the Assault Combat Resolution rules since I conceded defeat at Leipzig yesterday, especially 7.5.4.1.3.4 - 7.5.4.1.3.5, and am convinced that France won the assault combat there. Here is why: 7.5.4.1.3.4 states that if the beseiger (i.e. France) loses or does not break the defender in three rounds the siege is resumed with no further combat this round. To lose means that one side breaks and the other does not. No other result, other than elimination, is ever considered a win. Since the Saxons broke also, France did not lose. 7.5.4.1.3.5 states that if the defender breaks or is eliminated the beseiger wins, the city is captured, and the surviving defenders surrender. In summary, France met the requirement for winning the assault, despite breaking, and should now control the city. _______________________________________________ eia mailing list eia@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/eia _______________________________________________ eia mailing list eia@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/eia
