Yeah. Really sorry about this guys. Just been real busy with work this time of year. @Mad Mike ...I will do my best to pick up my turn rate the rest of the week. Looks like our lines are about to clash so I suspect the pace is going to pick up. Thank you all for your patience!!!!!

Quick update...
Quite a battle @Mad Mike and I are having! Down to the final couple of turns I believe. We seem to be determined to fight to the last man. Both sides are routed in the mid 40% range with just 1%separating us at present. The lead has been swinging back and forth for a few turns now. It's gonna be a tight one any way you look at it!

No pressure, but our nation literally hangs on this battle. Take deep breaths
This battle is going down to the wire, to last man able to wield a spear of hold up a shield ... will the RED Antigonid Kingdom last another turn? .... stay tuned.

Well...the Antigonid and Lysamachids fought from sunrise to sunset in Cappadocia. As the sun rises on a new day, the field of battle is awash in blood and littered with the bodies and weapons of the dead. The tired, weary eyes of the remaining Antigonid army look upon this scene of horror and devestation...girding themselves to resume the battle. Eyes burning with sweat and anger search the horizon for the hated Lysamachid army. Nothing...only the stark, rugged beauty of Cappadocia lays before them. The remaining Invaders have fled back to Phrygia in the night. The battle is won! Cappadocia is saved...for now. Tired, blood, sweat, and dirt-stained men slowly begin collecting the weapons of the vanquished and a victory monument can soon be rising on one of the high hills overlooking the site of this glorious triumph!
Great battle @Mad Mike !!! This one was about as close as it gets. So many changes in the the lead. In the end the Antigonid army (44%) managed a slight advantage over the Lysamachids (55%) as the sun set.
Thanks for the game! Hard fought and well played on both sides I should say!
