Dividing the Spoils - Tournament 1: Concluded

[Blagrot]

Blagrot (Makedonia) beats Deeter (Mesopotamia) 61%-56%

We still aren't sure what strange man-beasts infest this land but they are stubborn and violent to the end. Both sides were running low on pikemen by the end but my mediums carried the battle before Deeter's cavalry could, a great slaughter and thanks very much for the game.

PS I think my Epigoni died in this fight, straight after his father in the last round

Ha ha! You're racing through the generations...

[kronenblatt]

So the two remaining battles of round 5 (316 BC) are:

2. rbodleyscott attacks batesmotel in Parthyaia with the army of Gedrosia and Indian allies.
7. Karvon attacks deeter in Mesopotamia with the army of Aigyptos and Kyrenean Greek allies.

[Blagrot]

Hopefully his grandchildren will be made of sterner stuff

[rbodleyscott]

So the two remaining battles of round 5 (316 BC) are:

2. rbodleyscott attacks batesmotel in Parthyaia with the army of Gedrosia and Indian allies.

Getting there, but he has now routed all of my cavalry, and I have routed all of his non-light infantry. Sadly, some of them have rallied.

Ah, so maybe no units left to finish each other off...

[Karvon]

Karvon drew vs deeter in Mesopotamia with the army of Aigyptos and Kyrenean Greek allies. 53-43.

Thanks to Blagrot's win, the province falls to our coalition and I will take ownership of it.

Karvon

Thanks. So now only the battle in Parthyaia left and we're good to go to some satrapy adjustments and onto the next round.

We are still going at it. Two turns done so far today. 6 left.

Although I don't think the result of the battle makes any difference does it? Since kronenblatt won his battle in Parthyaia. (Unless the rules have changed)

Correct, no major practical difference other than potentially affecting the order of attack declarations, depending on the level of casualties that you inflict. So it still matters.

Fair enough. It is safe to assume that we will both have very high casualties.
