"Bring up the holy hand grenade!"
Might be my favorite scene in any movie. “That Rabbit’s dynamite!â€
And Liguria goes green! With some timely rallies, the Wellsonian empire wins both games (-27, -14). It was a tough and lengthy fight. Good game @Nelson1812!
Excellent -- there is a GREEN incursion in northern Italia ... -- we move right along.

Okay. @Rico, the Badger Kingdoms pick BELGICA; ruling from sea to shining sea, don't you know.

The battle for DALMATIA vs @Wellsonian is one or perhaps two turns away from completion ... fun but rather strange second battle with hardly any Croatians and Serbians left standing and everybody scattered nearly to the edges of the map...
How goes the fight for BELGICA? ... who wins the source of all that great Celtic cervisia (beer).

Fun games Badger73, well played.
Yo, @Rico - with the battles for BELGICA ending in a Badger Kingdoms victory, the Blue Horde now rides into SARMATIA EUROPAEA where Western Huns (Sabir) 413-558 AD confront Romans 425-492 AD upon the steppe. All is ready for my next opponent.

Battle is joined on the dray, dusty plains of SYRIA ... let's see if I can get a handle on those tricky Byzantines!
Roman trumpets and Hun kettledrums resound upon the Sarmatian steppe. Battle lines approach.
Thunder of hooves and clash of horse imminent... (aka the moment just before my cunning battle plans go "tits up", as they say... somewhere ... )
My Arab cavalry deploying on the right wing...
...my Byzantine cavalry doing the same on my left.

(it's all Greek to me...)My Arab armies have managed to rout @Wellsonian 's Byzantines ... now, hopefully my Byzantines in turn can hold out for a victory and SYRA can but taken under the benevolent rule of the Yellow Rico Empire, where it belongs.
@Nelson1812 & @Badger73 -- how go things on the wilderness of the SARMATIAN steppes?
We're 2/3rds into SARMATIA with a dozen turns left in each. "Swirling cavalry" and "well ordered lines" can't be used in the same sentence. :shocknaz:
