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

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 (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!

Aetius and Karvon draw in their match, 0-0

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

• When making your attack declaration, please specify also with which army you're attacking (and allies (if any) used).

• If the players above you in the order have already made their attack declarations, please don't wait for your date but please post yourself as well. The faster we post our attack declarations, the sooner we're on to the battles!

Deeter the Adequate is pleased to announce an alliance with Aetius and no attacks this turn. If permitted, his army stands ready to support Aetius.

Deeter the Adequate

Aetius39 attacks Karvon in Kilikia with the newly formed liberation army of Kappadokia.


Aetius with Kappadokian army (no allies) attacks Karvon with Kilikian army.


We call on our new-found friend Deeter to assist us in this righteous struggle.

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

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.

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

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

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

- Defenders set up challenges (and PM'ing opponents about it) and report battle results in this thread. Battles are resolved simultaneously during a three-week period between March 27 and April 17.
- If all battles have been resolved before that, round 8 may commence earlier, but plan for first order of attack declarations for round 8 on March 19.

Many thanks everyone; Aetius39, batesmotel, Blagrot, deeter, Karvon, rbodleyscott, and TomoeGozen, for participating! Hope you all enjoyed it!

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,
