Please declare (through posting in the tournament thread) your respective attacks (one each) in round 3 ASAP, but no later than June 1.

Example on how to express attack declarations (assuming second round 1390-1150 BC):
kronenblatt attacks using Egyptian 1200-1150 BC with Greek 1179-681 BC allies.

Please keep the following in mind for your respective attacks:

• Players can announce attacks without having to wait for each other and without any particular order.

• Attacking players are not affected or limited by each other's choices.

• Main army
  • A player uses major factions and their army lists of his own choice as the main army, subject to however that he cannot select the same major faction:
    • in two consecutive rounds (i.e., not the same major faction as in the second round), and
    • more than twice over the course of full seven rounds.
  • The selected major faction's army list must overlap (at least partially, with 1 year at least) the time period of the round in question.

• Ally army
  • A player must use an available minor faction as allies, but may in maximum one attack elect to not use any allies at all.
  • A minor faction can be selected only once by a player (i.e., either as an ally army or as a defending army) during the course of the tournament.
  • The selected minor faction's army list must overlap (at least partially, with 1 year at least) the time period of the major faction's army list as well as the time period of the round.

kronenblatt attacks using Babylonian 1594-891 BC with Elamite 1500-816 BC allies.

No answer from rpadilla1988 so I've "randomised" as follows:

rpadilla1988 attacks using Egyptian 1200-1150 BC with Luwian 1594-1180 BC allies.

(I took a major faction that he hadn't selected before and one that no one else had selected this round either, for variety. Luwian because it was the last chance to select them.)

It's time for the defenders to select their minor factions, posting their selections in the tournament thread ASAP but June 5 at the latest.

• rockmanbob123 attacks using Hittite 1270-1180 with Sea People 1208-1176 allies. indibil defends.

• jaerho attacks using Hittite 1275 -1180 BC with Zagros Highlander 2500-1001 BC allies. rpadilla1988 defends.

• kronenblatt attacks using Babylonian 1594-891 BC with Elamite 1500-816 BC allies. rockmanbob123 defends.

• rpadilla1988 attacks using Egyptian 1200-1150 BC with Luwian 1594-1180 BC allies. kronenblatt defends.

Please note the following

• Minor factions are used as the armies defending against major factions' attacks (as selected by the defending player).

• Minor factions are not linked to any particular region but can be applied anywhere, for any region, with no geographical constraints.

• The selected minor faction's army list must overlap (at least partially, with 1 year at least) the time period of the round.

• A minor faction can be selected only once by a player (i.e., either as an ally army or as a defending army) during the course of the tournament.

• A minor faction's army list can be selected by more than one player in the same round, whether as ally army or defending army.

• However, if a minor faction is selected as ally army by an attacking player, the defending player is not allowed to select the same minor faction as defending army.

Good game, indibil!
