Howver, they just managed to hold out until their Free company opponents were exhausted.

Highland victory (davouthojo)
Casualties 24,020/75,000

Free Company defeat (hidde)
Casualties 18,859/52,000

Impressed by the bravery of the defeated army, Clan Brave declares that on capture of this province in revenge for the unprovoked assault on the Highland nation, they will offer a generous peace with Canaan and join their attack on the evil Crimean/Pantherian menace that threatens the Freedom of the Lost World.

Again I can't see where this war is being fought. I may have to apologise to previous posts as it has just occurred to me that Scar may be away / not upto date. Hoping underlining is less wrath-like than bold

Results to here (kinda)

For me, an ally giving me a heart card, next two battles could gain 100, as per msg from you. Both were used against Morbio.

Whilst here, can I ask for clarification: If a game ends in a turn where both sides break, it is a draw?

Yes.

This makes two defeats for the invaders. We assume that means they skulker back and leave us to our bubblebathettes.

Gentlemen - by what means have you increased the size of your respective army? What have I missed (other than witchcraft or a trip to the virtual model shop) ?

Dear God: My prayer of 16 May 2010 22:00 refers in this instance. Best regards, you most loyal and humble servant. Morbio

No doubt they were tripped up by their renaissance frippery. The Horde awaits word as to whether Lord Deadtorius wishes to lead more of his overdressed lambs to the slaughter.

According to the map you two are not at war! You have to keep Scar informed. Please advise who is attacking whom & in which area.

We were actually too prompt in informing Scar apparently. We were fighting in Aria, Scar had it on the map, the war ended (Covenanters gave up and went away), Scar took it off the map, Canaan invaded me in Aria, and Scar put that up on the map.

All under control Oh Mighty One.

Thanks for the answers.

Also yes if both sides are over their rout limit in the same turn it's a draw.

I'm one who neglected to do some reports. Sorry about that. Hard to keep track some times.
I pm:d Scar what I hope is everything I get going right now:

Hi
This is the Canaan situation at the moment:
Nervii (6) have given up Turnacum. It belongs to me now
Clan Braveheart (23) is invading my region Hauran.
I'm invading Empire of Panther (17) region unknown.
I hope that's all that you don't already know.

Here is the result of the second battle in the Kappadokian invasion of the Rhodian Plain of Desolation. (Where there is now weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth).

The Kappadokians were victorious, which, if I am not mistaken, means that we have captured this (highly valuable ) province.

Casualties:

Rhodians: 14761/34000 (37/32)
Kappadokians: 8693/25000 (21/35)

Bah! Whatever. I'm sure their are plenty more plains in LW that we can desolate later.

Arrakis 23/32 7887/28520

Yes, Wastelands.

Panther Empire vs Rhodes
Battle of Littertray (part 2)

Attacker: ianiow (Ptolemaic)
14,237/35,500 - 36/35 - LOSE

Defender: pantherboy (Furry Borg)
7,765/50,500 - 28/65 - WIN

Rhodes whimpers and returns to its lands in shame. Since they rejected the Pantherite peace offers, with a heavy heart, the counter-invasion shall begin.

ROAR!

So speaks Pantherboy,
KING OF THE JUNGLE

Caanan vs Egypt
Battle of Bashan(2)

Attacker:Blathergut(Ptolemaic)
44000/17894 - 47/40 - LOSE

Defender:hidde(Judean)
50500/13273 - 36/54 - WIN

A welcome revenge for the Canaan forces. It's now one win each and we awaits the word from Egypt on how to proceed.

Battle Results to Here (PG)

In a disastrous encounter on the slopes of the steep wooded mountain in the region of Glenlivet, the highlanders were badly let down by their general, who ordered them into highland fling manoevres in the face of the enemy, then insisted on a fighting retreat at the snails-pace of 1 hex per turn with a pursuing force moving twice as fast. He has been replaced.

Victory for the invading forces of Crimea:

Crimea 6,173/56,000
Highlanders 25,467/77,000

Although the odds may be hopeless, that is the sort of dour odds the scots enjoy most (look at our football team).

We will fight on in defence of our homes.

Current summary of Clan Braveheart situation:

Defending Glenlivet against Crimea, lost the first battle
Attacking Canaan in Hauran, won the first battle, waiting on result
Attacking Rhodian empire in ???, won the first battle, waiting on result

Crimea (WOR(L)): 56000/6173, 11/47 WIN
Clan Brave (Scots Highlands): 77000/25467, 58/55 LOSS

Rumor has it that Clan Brave will fight on, although its first-round losses may prove crippling.

Time will tell.

Morbious vs Covananter Empire
Battle of Wastes of Doom (part 2)

Attacker: Morbio (Seleucid)
6,295/34,500 - 13/32 - WIN

Defender: deadtorius(Pontic)
8,922/27,000 - 42/35 - LOSE

The Wastes of Doom have been captured, along with all the ugly women (according to deadtorius).

Rhome vs Phanagoria
Battle of Lesbos

Attacker: Batesmotel (Bosporan)
44,000/16,518 - 55/54 - LOSE

Defender: maximvs (Roman)
39,500/12069 - 38/48 - WIN

The Rhoman Empire rejoices, the dastardly army that dared attack Lesbos is thrown back in disarray and the Lesbians are celebrating in their traditional manner... (no, don't ask)

MAXIMVS General of the North (and various other places)
