OK, thanks. All three battles have at least be set up? When do each of you expect them to finish?

[Aetius39]

Aetius39 (Armenia) defeats Karvon (Mesopotamia) 43-11

Some early success was pushed back by our cavalry getting shredded by the Mesopotamian Greeks. Armenians still had the advantage, but had to grind it out (as Mesopotamians had advantage in the terrain), while holding off any rear flank attacks or sorties from said protected enclosure. GG!

[Aetius39]

Aetius39 (Kappadokia) defeats (Blagrot) Makadonia 40-9

The True Rulers of Kappadokia, with the help of their loyal citizens, repelled the re-takeover attempt righteously and gloriously!

(Actually got a bit lucky as we had some fragged pikes that could have made big trouble if some of Makadonia's units held on, but that won't be in the records).

GG!

[Aetius39]

Aetius and Karvon draw in their match, 0-0

It was decided to mutually withdraw from the field, to fight another day!

[deeter]

Sorry, not possible until next round since "... entering into and abandoning a coalition becomes effective the round after the announcement has been made by all applicable players..."

[kronenblatt]

kronenblatt attacks deeter in Media from Parthyaia with the army of Paropamisadai, calling for aid from his coalition partner rbodleyscott.

[kronenblatt]

Also, I just realised that the correct order of attack declarations is as follows:

Order of attack declarations
1. deeter 48% (Mar. 22 )
2. Aetius39 43% (Mar. 23 )
3. kronenblatt 21% (Mar. 24 )
4. rbodleyscott 9% drew (Mar. 25 )
5. Karvon 11% (Mar. 26 )
6. Blagrot 9% lost (Mar. 27 )

Since coalition partners use the highest inflicted casualties among the coalition in the overall order, but rank according to their own within their coalition. So not much practical significance, but rbodleyscott and Karvon switch orders.

kronenblatt attacks deeter in Media from Parthyaia with the army of Paropamisadai, calling for aid from his coalition partner rbodleyscott.

rbodleyscott assists kronenblatt in attacking deeter in Media, with the army of Gedrosia with Indian allies.

[Karvon]

We will attack Mesopotamia from Syria using our Aegyptians with Kyrene Greek allies and call on our partner Blagrot for support.

[Blagrot]

And I will support my partners offensive with the army of Makedonia (and greek 460-281 hangers-on)

[TomoeGozen]

Congratulations to the winning alliance!
It's been some time since I decided to "hand over" my territories to help with the formation of the new eastern superpower.
I keep getting this nagging feeling our new rulers should look to the west though....

Thanks Andreas for running this.
Cheers,
Dave
