FOG: Medieval Campaign: The King Is Dead - TURN 5 -- final turn!

Rico · 2025-12-06T13:26:23Z

@chiquichops @cargol @nathangun @kronenblatt @earl-of-grey @otosan @mad-mike The King Is Dead is a cut-throat, quick and simple cut-throat FOG: Medieval Campaign set in late 14th Century France semi-fictional dynastic war. (it's short -- only 5 turns and rules are really quite simple. The King is on his deathbed... and the succession to the crown of France is in dispute. FOUR factions vie for supremacy in the Kingdom of France: The King of France's loyal supporters based around Paris and the royal lands in the centre. The King of England and his large fiefdoms in north and western France. The power hungry Dukes of Burgundy controlling eastern France and the low countries. The ambitious Counts of Toulouse eager to expand their power base in the south. Alliances and betrayals and back stabbing will be essential! Players The campaign is for 4 - 8 players (players can play in teams of 2 -- we can assign players to factions or teams by random draw, or pair experienced players with novice/less experienced players) My guess is that the King of France and the King of England factions will be trickiest to play. Starting Setup Each faction starts with FOUR provinces -- one Capital Province and three Home Provinces. (Capital Provinces are marked with a crown eg: Paris, Burgundy) The King of England faction has four Home Provinces and a Capital in England that is not directly in play. The campaign is played over FIVE turns and the faction with the highest score at the end of Turn 5 wins. Attacks Each faction gets ONE attack per turn. The Attack orders sequence at Turn 1 is by random draw. From Turn 2 onwards, it is determined by the best Victory % points result for each faction from the previous turn's battle results. A faction can attack any enemy home province that is adjacent to a friendly-controlled province. You may not attack from a province that is already under attack by another faction. You may attack into a province from which an attack into a different province has been launched. Attacking Capital Provinces One can only attack an enemy Capital Province if you control any THREE adjacent provinces. (this applies to recapturing a lost friendly Capital province as well) Example: in map above, if the Burgundy faction captures Artois or Bourbon to be able to attack PARIS. Or... the Toulouse faction would have to capture Dauphin, Bourbon and Champagne to be able to attack BURGUNDY. ENGLAND cannot be attacked by any faction. King of England Attacks The King of England faction works a little differently. The light-red-coloured provinces are controlled by vassals and any attacks from there would be by vassal armies, (see Armies) The England faction can TWICE deploy an English Royal army by sea to either attack an enemy province (like at start Artois or Flanders) or take over one of its Home Provinces (placing a dark red Royal Army marker indicating an English army present) and attack from there. Only ONE army can be deployed at a time -- the second can only be deployed after the first has been destroyed. This English Royal Army is destroyed if: 1. It suffers a Major Defeat in its seaborne attack battle. 2. It suffers a Major Defeat in a defensive battle. 3. The province it controls is lost to an enemy siege. This loss will result in a permanent 1 point loss on the scoreboard. FIELD BATTLES Field Battles are medium size Open Battle on either Pot Luck or North European Agricultural maps. Battle Results Attacker Major Victory (40%) -- Province is captured (English Royal Army eliminated if applicable) Attacker Minor Victory (60%) -- Province if placed under SIEGE (see Sieges) Draw - Battle continues next Turn Defender Minor Victory (60%) -- Attacker is repulsed (no other effects) Defender Major Victory (40%) -- Attacker repulsed (Province from which attack was launched is marked as Disrupted -- not attack can be launched from there for the next turn) In map sample below, Toulouse attacked Aquitaine from Auvergne and suffered a Major Defeat -- no attack can be launched from Auvergne during the next turn, but the province can defend normally. SIEGES Sieges are resolved at the end of the Turn after they were begun using an 8-sided die roll on the Siege Table: Roll of 1 to 5: Siege successful and the province is captured Roll: 6 to 8: Siege is broken off Capital Provinces get a +1 die roll modifier. If the besieging army's home province is lost during the battle phase of that turn, then the siege is automatically lifted. Relieving A Siege A faction can launch an attack to attempt to relieve a siege. (in map sample above, Burgundians are besieging Bourbon, and the King of France faction launch an attack from Paris to relieve it) These battles are played in FOG Medieval as Relieve The Siege battles. Siege Battle Results: Attacker Major Victory - Siege is lifted - besiegers home province is marked Disrupted Attacker Minor Victory - Siege continue...

Would have loved 40-26, but unfortunately it was 40-14 (+26) in @chiquichops 's favour. Congrats to a well-played victory: can't really blame the terrain, because it was in my favour having the higher ground. But apart from that admittedly a tricky map. Anyway, "we'll always have Paris" 🤣 I'll be back!

Yes, fresh news from NORMANDY => kronenblatt wins 45-12 (+33), luckily because Nathan's right flank with many knights never got into the fight. Many thanks for the battle.

TURN 5

Ok, we have reached the final turn of this mini campaign. Burgundy is still firmly in first place with +2 points and still in a position to capture the French throne by taking PARIS. The English alas, are out of contention, but may still restore some honour in the end.

Let's see how this final turn plays out.

All regions marked with an X are disrupted and cannot be used to launch attacks from (but can defend as per usual)

Here is the Attack Orders Sequence:

1. Burgundy (+43%)

2. King of France (+26%)

3. Toulouse (+26%)

4. King of England (-26%)

@kronenblatt -- you're up first!
