Please declare (through posting in the tournament thread) your respective attacks (one each) in round 2 ASAP, but no later than April 10.

Example on how to express attack declarations (assuming second round 1390-1150 BC):
kronenblatt attacks using Egyptian 1200-1150 BC with Greek 1179-681 BC allies.

Please keep the following in mind for your respective attacks:

• Players can announce attacks without having to wait for each other and without any particular order.

• Attacking players are not affected or limited by each other's choices.

• Main army
  • A player uses major factions and their army lists of his own choice as the main army, subject to however that he cannot select the same major faction:
    • in two consecutive rounds (i.e., not the same major faction as in the first round), and
    • more than twice over the course of full seven rounds.
  • The selected major faction's army list must overlap (at least partially, with 1 year at least) the time period of the round in question.

• Ally army
  • A player must use an available minor faction as allies, but may in maximum one attack elect to not use any allies at all.
  • A minor faction can be selected only once by a player (i.e., either as an ally army or as a defending army) during the course of the tournament.
  • The selected minor faction's army list must overlap (at least partially, with 1 year at least) the time period of the major faction's army list as well as the time period of the round.
