I am just curious as to how those of you who are running or are running the GPC are reconciling with the BoB.

In year 485 for the Battle of Mearcred Creek it states:
Victor: None
Plunder: None

So does that mean you fight 5 rounds of battle and then state no one won and no one gets any plunder? I would think that would be the case but I am not sure.

Also how do you factor into effect the Modifier: Uther has superior troops: +5?

Thanks!

Todd

The BoBATTLE2 is going into production very soon

It explains this better
and in fact,
goes through the first battle round by round

That is Great news.
A time estimate as to release?

What do we do in the meantime?

Yes. Although I suggest as a GM you also describe what is going on elsewhere within sight of the player knights to not have to explain an abrupt retreat.
However, if the player knights manage to do something to change those results, either a penetration of ranks to reach the enemy camp or a major flub that causes a panic collapse, then those always supercede what the book says.
Of course, that may require some gamemaster adjustments to what follows, but that is where the challenge lies

Not sure what you are asking.
BoB p 15?
