It's certainly comparable, but according to GoogleMaps, it's about 100-150 miles shorter.

Cheers,

Hi Greg,

Thanks for pointing that out. It seems like a strange coincidence... but I better make sure I captured the army information correctly. I will double check it tonight.

I don't remember it happening in any previous big battle competition.

Huh?
I fielded Medieval Norwegians in the "Knights in White Satin" Theme, not P-M Samurai.

I only had the army number that Jack wrote down on the paper results sheet... seemed a bit odd to me, but see, I flushed out the correct information!

I remember for sure that our group only had armies without any allies. For me and Jack, it was coincidence and not a conscious decision to use an army without an ally.

Yes, but we could not follow the old crow as it flew over the rugged terrain, construction and round-a-bouts. As the valley narrowed, the trace of the roadway vanished, and we were forced to ford the rivers in spate. We haulded the wagon and manhandled the luggage carts up a boulder-paved gorge. Chilled by the unnatural cold of the heights, we sighted the crest of a ridge guarded by granite pinnacles. And these bastions of stone were thronged with shaggy, unkempt men, weapons in hand, men who held no love of DBA. A parley was held under a flag of truce but at dawn the mountain warriors swarmed down the track, attacking the carts laden with gold for the dealers hall and flea market. And here Tonantius rolled a rare "6", attacking the mountaineers and sending them fleeing like goats to the valley below. So did the Army of Denver and the West leave the mountains of West Virginia on I 64 headed east to Fredericksburg and the meade halls of Historicon 2012.
