Civil War ROR Round One...Later Jewish (Hyrcanus II)
Hyrcanus was the eldest son of Alexander Jannaeus, King and High Priest, and Alexandra Salome. After the death of Alexander in 76 BC, his widow succeeded to the rule of Judea and installed her elder son Hyrcanus as High Priest.
When Salome died in 67 BC, she named Hyrcanus as successor to the Kingship as well. Hyrcanus was already High Priest but also shared his mother's religious views, sympathetic to the Pharisees. In contrast to this, Alexander Jannaeus had supported the Saducees.
Hyrcanus had scarcely reigned three months when his younger brother Aristobulus II, who agreed with his father's Sadducean stance, rose in rebellion. Hyrcanus advanced against him at the head of his mercenaries and his followers. The brothers met in battle near Jericho and many of Hyrcanus' soldiers went over to Aristobulus II, and thereby gave the latter the victory.
Hyrcanus took refuge in the citadel of Jerusalem; but the capture of the Temple by Aristobulus II compelled Hyrcanus to surrender. A peace was then concluded, according to the terms of which Hyrcanus was to renounce the throne and the office of high priest, but was to enjoy the revenues of the latter office.
This agreement however did not last..........

Bubbles has left his unfortified camp stuck in a corner with no troops nearly - must either be one of his special traps or I'm about to find that ark which he lost :?

The Blath vs PG: A bit of a squeaker!! 8)

PG: 22800/7787 79/76 LOSS + he captured my camp
Blathergut: 17700/6325 58/59 WIN + I routed one of his 2-flag generals

Having pikes vs hordes of guerillas was close. He had me by the swarms but quality just kept hacking away. :)

A hard earned victory for Blathergut - very close but if I'd not had an easy camp to loot he'd have won more easily. No leaders lost I believe.

blathergut 58/59
petergarnett 79/76

Congrats - a great game!

The camp points should go to PG...he sacked my camp.

Close wasn't the word!! I went into the last turn 57/59 to PG's 67/76 (or there-abouts). I had two fragmented BGs that had to fight. I got him up to the 79/76 and then did the two combats. One bg broke. The other, a fragmented LF w Javelins facing a steady LF same, evened out on combat and didn't drop. :)
