Sorry everybody , i went away for the weekend ,
I move to engage the Ptolemaic Kingdom

Ta
Ian

Be warned Ian, I am a fairly useless vassal even if you do steal me away from Hidde .

Games is up, just checking to make sure I got this right. Med. Aggricultural, Medium map, medium force, auto select. Ptolomey 1200 vs Arabs 1100. Let me know if I messed up.

edit: password is "iamavassal"

The last two moves were not possible. Arab Tribes has no path to the Ptolemaic Kingdom without passing through either Nabataea or Seleucid Empire, both of which have active armies.

Sorry Ian, you have to attack one or the other given the geography.

That may validate Atropatene's similar move through the active Seleucid Empire.

Despite my better judgement ....
The Arabs will move on the Seleucid Empire.

OK, I think that I finally have all of the movement correct. The Turn 3 movement map has been updated, and the Turn 3 scoring sheet.

Arab Tribes - iandavidsmith (1,100 FP) moves one area to attack Seleucid Empire - stockwellpete (1,200 FP) in Middle-Eastern Agricultural.

Atropatene - Ulysisgrunt (1,100 FP) moves two areas to attack Nabataea - hidde (1,200 FP) in Middle-Eastern Hilly.

Next move is movement sequence number 5: Mauryan Empire - TheGrayMouser

I’ll stick closer to home this round: invade Bactria

Hey, GreyMouse,

I don't think you can do that -- I already invaded Hsiung-nu. Currently I'm waiting for him to set up the battle...

msaunders865 -- Bactria

Haha, everyone knows you are just EZ pickings Saunders!

Just so I understand the legalities involved, Mouser, can attack anyone not engaged since there are no more territories being blocked by inactive armies right? So Mountain Indians, Saka, Parthia, Armenia, or the Ptolomeic Kingdom (me the guy with 0 points )

Its hard to keep up with what is what... Ok, We will detour into Parthia then !

I am 7th and Pete is stuck defending so its time to break one of the two the goose eggs. I am attacking the Armenians!

All of the moves are in. The Turn 3 campaign battle map and scoring sheet have been updated.

Mauryan Empire - TheGrayMouser (1,100 FP) moves two areas to attack Parthia - ianiow (1,200 FP) in Steppe.

Ptolemaic Kingdom - mikec_81 (1,100 FP) moves two areas to attack Armenia - rbodleyscott (1,200 FP) in Middle-Eastern Hilly.

Saka - Ironclad (1,100 FP) moves two areas to attack Mountain Indians - SnuggleBunnies (1,200 FP) in Middle Eastern Mountains..

Good luck to all. You have until Midnight Eastern Standard Time 10 Dec 2017 to complete your battles.

Stars on the campaign map indicate an active (i.e. unengaged in battle) army. If you enter and area with an active army, who is not your vassal or overlord, then you stop and engage in battle. The Seleucid Empire is a special case because it is so large (three areas). The active Seleucid army is considered to occupy all three areas simultaneously, and will intercept an invading army in any of the three areas (perhaps I should show three Seleucid stars instead of one to make it clearer). The Seleucids may start the invasion of another empire from any of their three areas. Once the star is removed from the map for an empire then the areas in that empire may be traversed without interception (even battle areas).

Defenders, please set up your challenges.

I didn't send any orders in to attack Mountain Indians. Holding number 8 I was waiting to order.

He was the only legal target for you to attack unfortunately as everyone else was already engaged.

edit: It is assumed that you want to attack given that attacking gives you the chance to earn a vassal. I am not sure if you can choose not to move and force the other guy to attack you but I think it was agreed that if its your turn to move, you are attacking.

Challenge set up iandavidsmith and his marauding chappies, password is "getoffmyland".

I can't set up my challenge.
When I chose Nabataea as defender(player A) there's no Atropatene to pick as Player B...
