=> rockmanbob123 wins 60-37.

Rockmanbob123,s Hittites were able to attack and defeat Indibil's Syro-Canaanites 55-23.

The Hittites attacked over a stream that bisected the battlefield. The Syro-Canaanites had initial success and the Hittites were very disrupted and lost nearly 25% of their strength fording the stream. However once across the river the stronger Hittite infantry won the day.

Good round, this #3, by rockmanbob123 too!

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.

I believe you have already selected Elamites (when you attacked in round 2). Which other ally do you want to use? Or you can (once in the tournament) opt to not use any ally at all when attacking?

• 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.

• Example: if a player selects Syro-Canaanite and its 1594-1276 BC list is chosen (whether as ally or defending army), he cannot again select any Syro-Canaanite army list again as ally or defending army.

It's time for the defenders to select their minor factions, posting their selections in the tournament thread ASAP but August 4 at the latest.

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.
