Map updated.

@Badger73 -- will get battle turns started morning first thing.

 

[Nelson1812]

The Sat Nav... broke!

 

[Rico]

We got hills, hills... and some more hills. Did I mention hills?

 

[Badger73]

And shieldwalls, lots of shieldwalls.

The BLUE @Badger73 Empire is capturing impressive bits of real estate ... the Yellow Rico Empire is thinking of declaring neutrality and hunkering down in their little Caucus Mountain Kingdom ;-)



How is the battle for Aegyptus going? @Wellsonian @Nelson1812

 

[Wellsonian]

Aegyptus goes to Wellsonian! We split games, but the math went my way.

 

[Rico]

We move along to the next set of battles -- BLUE Empire currently in lead with 5 regions captured.

@Wellsonian (picks region and sets up battle) vs @Rico

@Badger73 (picks region and sets up battle) vs @Nelson1812

 

[Wellsonian]

I declare the battlefield to be Caledonia! Armies to be declared soon

 

[Badger73]

@Nelson1812 - Let's go to LUGDUNENSIS in the 10th Century with Bretons against Normans and see if who can establish Normandy!

[Wellsonian]

Ok, @Rico, the armies are as follows:

Anglo-Danish 1017-1041 vs. Scots 851-1051. Challenge is up, pw FGM1. Good luck!

 

[Rico]

Map updated.

@Wellsonian -- will accept challenge now and pick up battle in the morning.

 

[Badger73]

Yo, @Rico. LUGDUNENSIS is done, truly brutal contests of hammer and tongs leaving tattered victors and shattered vanquished. Great games played by @Nelson1812.

• Round 1 - @Badger73 Bretons overcame @Nelson1812 Normans 24% to 51%; +/- 27% to @Badger73
• Round 2 - @Badger73 Normans squeaked past @Nelson1812 Bretons 58% to 62%; +/- 4% to @Badger73

 

[Rico]

The BLUE @Badger73 Empire is expanding rapidly...



@Wellsonian and I are having quite a slug fest on the fields of Caledonia ... the Anglo-Danish a tad fragile... the Pictish Spearman mean Mofo's indeed ...

 

[Wellsonian]

I put a lot of misplaced faith in the "Well-Equipped Shield Wall."

 

[Rico]

I put a lot of misplaced faith in the "Well-Equipped Shield Wall."

I was also taken in by "well-equipped" red herring...

 

[Rico]

Looks like I've defeated @Wellsonian (I have +39% in the first battle, I think he'll have +30% in the second -- confirmation pending) ... the Anglo-Danish "Well-Equipped" shield walls proving no match for Pictish spearmen, especially on rough terrain.

Yellow Rico Armenian Empire gets its first territorial conquest... huzza!! .... it's distant, cold Caledonia, but apparently the locals there make something called Whis-ky ... looks promising.



Next Battle draw:

@Badger73 (selects province and sets up battle) vs @Wellsonian

@Rico (selects province and sets up battle) vs @Nelson1812 -- - Ill be making a grab for SCYTHIA ... will set up game anon.

 

[Rico]

Battle for SKYTHIA set up vs @Nelson1812 set up:


Skythians 750 - 551BC vs Cimmerians 750 - 600BC -- I'm guessing lots of archers and horse-play
