Against Nelson: 57 (seleucid) - 30 (lysimachid)
Nelson had a FIERCE elephant unit going through two whole pike units FROM THE FRONT. I could not believe my eyes! Somehow managed to turn it around later.
Against Wellsonian: 50 (antigonid) - 4 (lysimachid)
Thanks to my opponents!

Battle in Syria ongoing. The cavalry battles underway, the phalanxes are going to clash any minute. Nathan had me walk all the way to him. Not much of an attacker. 
The Seluecids stand firm in Mesopotamia. Armenians flee. Antigonids hide. Soon the people will enjoy the true peace of strong arms and stout hearts. Hail, Basileus Nelsonisticles!! :shootero:
Three out of the four land battles have concluded.
BLUE victories in CAPPADOCIA and CILICIA
GREEN forces fight off and expel the Armenian raiders in MESOPOTAMIA.
Just the GREEN vs YELLOW battle in SYRIA left to conclude ... then we can assess where we stand

GREEN (14%) vs YELLOW (49%) battle in SYRIA. Got my ass kicked.

@Nathangun - good game!
I guess the cavalry was the deciding factor here. Looked a bit bleak at the beginning for me with two units fragmenting on first contact and breaking later. But that happy turn where your horse & infantry cascaded into panic turned it around. From then on I could attack with impunity.
Interesting map, too. Salt pan with a few pieces of rough ground.

Oops ... guess I need to update this ... hopefully on the weekend some time. 
Okay -- here we go -- ready for TURN 8:
RED (Antigonids) still hanging in there with PHRYGIA still under their control -- BLUE didn't leave a besieging force there, so the REDs retake control of it.
CAPPADOCIA is now under BLUE siege.
MESOPOTAMIA falls to the GREEN (Seleucids) as the garrison is eliminated.
Commanders -- ready for your orders.

Some of the faction orders still being discussed -- will leave it open and finalise orders Monday evening.
Here we go... order all played out.
First off, the YELLOW navy has one hell of an admiral (or the naval battle dice just went their way) --- first a GREEN fleet deploys and attacks and gets sunk.... then a BLUE fleet arrives and also promptly gets sunk.
YELLOW navy rules the LEVANT SEA!
There are NO barbarian incursions this turn.
RED: Builds a new army in its remaining province, PHRYGIA.
BLUE attacks into PHRYGIA from THRACE to try and finally snuff out the Antigonid kingdom, and also moves a follow up army from MACEDONIA into THRACE.
GREEN steals a march on BLUE and attacks first into CILICIA -- the BLUES had plans to attack SYRIA -- and also move a back up army from PARTHIA to MESOPOTAMIA.... and build up BACTRIA.
YELLOW just build a new army in JUDEA.
So there are TWO battles this round:
PHRYGIA: BLUE vs RED
CILICIA: GREEN vs BLUE
Please assign battle commanders!

Mad Mike where you at!
Still alive, at least
Our first daughter was born last week on Friday, so I'm for the time being occupied with more important business.
Please accept my resignation as field commander of the mighty Lysimachid forces.
Cheers

Congrats on the new addition to your family!!
Oh, my! Yes. It's fair to say he might be a tad busy for a while.

Yo, @Rico - I command the Greens attacking Cilicia. What battle parameter should I set for terrain?
Side A - Seleucid
Side B - Lysimachid
No Allies, 1200 pts, open battle
Terrain - ????
