Nice write up, stormy. "Egypocalypse" xD

It's definitely time to take the fight to Egypt. So PG, it's your turn, and two words I want you to remember are: pikemen and bridges. ;)
Also, I command you to retake Mazaka! It is part of our homeland after all.

Your turn ends at Summer 230 BC.

I have been having so much fun with delayed reinforcement fights, play them well and you get to wipe out two armies, especially if you can retreat one army though another

Allllllrighty then.  Thank you Stormcloud, let's see how this goes.

Wish me luck guys. :D

EDIT* I'll keep that advice in mind CG. ;)

EDIT AGAIN* Well, this is a bit of a mess. I've decided I hate Egypt. As far as the plan goes, the upkeep for Phalangites is pretty good so I'm thinking perhaps we should standardise the garrisons for the majority of the cities in the Empire. 2 Phalangites and a Light Cav unit perhaps? Cheaper than the weird amalgamation of half-dead merc units we have at the moment.

As to Spartocus or whatever his name is, yes at the moment he's roundly useless but if we send him out to sea with roughly a half stack and get him to raid and plunder Egyptian lands while blockading them with the fleet that transported him, he might improve. And the further he is from home, the further we are from having an adulterous, drunkard fool take destroy the Empire.

Any suggestions?

That's my fault for repeatedly swapping in fresher units, I stack up the half dead units to fill places then leave the remainder in towns to come back and replenish.

If you really feel that you could do it, then land Spartocus on the Nile and try and take some of the Gypsies' homeland, thereby portugaling up their plans big time. Then form a strong frontal assault from home and just continuously hammer the Gyps south.

But really your turn is your turn, just play it out as you see fit. (and retake Mazaka) ;)

I would play... if I had RTW. I've got TWM2 though. Maybe we could do that next.

Yeah that might do.

How's it coming then, PG? :)

Yeah Sunday turned out to be really busy for me, plus we had a blackout yesterday afternoon. I still have at least 7 turns to go I think. :( I'm working on it.

Aye I've been a bit busy. I've still got like ten turns to go and I have no time. Don't suppose we could skip my turn and go straight to the next person so it doesn't die? Sorry guys.

That's alright. NA would you be willing to play an extra half turn for PG? If so just play on to Summer 220 BC.

Now I don't have any factions unlocked, will I be okay?
