The BG2 gaming community has recently come together to form a European league. The Royal Battlegrounds League will be playing their first season over 10 weeks beginning in mid January using version 1.1b. The map pool already looks good with Freeman’s Farm. This historically inspired map takes in part of the Saratoga Campaign where the fighting hung in the balance through farm buildings and the British redoubt. This map will be joined by Woodlands and Pine Barrens both fantastic skirmish scenarios.

Teams will consist of 5 players in a ‘capture the flag’ game. The league will be run and administered by experienced European players on the www cupwars.com site. This will allow individuals to comment on matches, upload media and follow results. Any additional teams wishing to sign up are still at liberty to do so via the site.
