The Cappadocians fought bravely, at first it seemed that Pontus must win but skillful play and an extraordinary amount of luck (which is, in any case, the mark of a good commander) brought about a Pontic defeat. Can Pontus invade Cappadocia from Pontus again at the same time as another player invades from another province? Otherwise Pontus invades Colchis (Col) from Pontus. I really think you should be allowed to change your army list somehow, as my army is completely outclassed by the Seleucid army.

The chickens have been gathered from all corners of the land and offerings made to the Gods in such quantity that they cannot but look down on us with great favour in the upcoming campaign. Training is complete, tactics have been honed and now the time has come for the Saka to meet their doom.

Bactria invades Sogdiana.

Good luck to the Bactrians! With such unprecedented omens the outcome of the battle should be granted ...

But remember that Ulysisgrunt has been appointed to lead the Sogdian forces and won't concede a victory without a hard fight!

Sorry, If Vakarr wants to try again with Cappadocia I will let him have the honours

Instead I attack Atropatene from Media

I Sogdiana awaits the attack of Bacteria;
You will find us antiseptic!

Trogilus, I think you need to set up a different battle. I'm defending Aria so I don't need a baggage train. The baggage train battles are for people invading Parthia, not being invaded by Parthia. Apologies if I'm wrong.

Lysimachos please confirm.

Given that Aryaman called off his attack yet before beginning it, directing it toward Atropatene, you're allowed to attack Cappadocia again.
The defenders will be led this time by Varity.

Trogilus is right because the rules states:
"The commander of a numidian, libyan, arab, parthian, skythian and saka army, whether if attacked or attacking in an agricultural or desert province, may force the opponent who leads an army that's not included in the same aforementioned armies to play an escort baggage train module with him as the attacker."

Misread that one.

I'll get on the case.

The pious monk from Paropamisadae weren't able to arrive in time to the celebrations in Gandhara due to the abundant snow fallen on the pass that links the two provinces (and the presence of some disreputable folkmen on the mountains nearby the route ...), so the trip was called off.

In his endless goodness Ashoka the Great has sent another caravan from Taxila to Gandhara, where the Indian populace is still waiting with zeal their arrival.
(Vakarr will command the cruel and nasty forces that opposes the appeasement of the province with the Mauryan Empire)

In order to bring rich gifts to the their brothers, inhabitants of Gandhara, the people of the Mauryan Empire begged the Emperor to raise new taxes, to which proposal the sovereign benevolently agreed.

The independant attack from Baetica to Bastetania has been fought to a draw after a 14 turn battle.

The Carthaginian Republic wishes to end such incursions and will pacify the region by moving a peace keeping force from Bastetania to Baetica.

The picture was taken just before the Dumbos showed their rump to the defenders in sign of scorn!
