Bronze Age Empires -- FOG II Pot Luck Battle Tourney/Campaign - Round 7

ROUND 5 kicks off with @Bootie and @Nathangun fighting over TROY (although against the Hittites, not the Greeks (Myceneans)) ... and @Nelson1812 and @Rico contesting control over the upper Nile at KUSH.

BATTLE 1: @Nelson1812 vs @Rico -- KUSH: Kushite Egyptian (727 - 656 BC) vs Egyptian (945 - 720 BC)

BATTLE 2: @Bootie vs @Nathangun -- TROY: Trojan (1250 - 1180 BC) vs Hittite (1275 - 1180 BC)

 

[Nathangun]

@Bootie I've set up the two battles, password FGM1

 

[Bootie]

Sweet will get them going now.

 

[Bootie]

And we are off.... files with you mate.

 

[Nelson1812]

Fun game Thanks, those hills made it a challenging battlefield!
Off for my shish kabab!

 

[Rico]

Well played @Nelson1812 -- your Libyan swordsmen units on the Egyptian side were just unstoppable.

 

[Rico]

First Mirror Battle set complete -- on a bastard of a hilly/rough map the Lybian tribesmen fighting for the Egyptian Pharaos reigned supreme... and @Nelson1812 wins by +11% overall and captures KUSH for the RED Empire -- which is in the overall lead with 4 points.

How goes the battle for TROY?



BATTLE 1: @Nelson1812 vs @Rico -- KUSH: Kushite Egyptian (727 - 656 BC) vs Egyptian (945 - 720 BC) -- RED Victory (+11%)

BATTLE 2: @Bootie vs @Nathangun -- TROY: Trojan (1250 - 1180 BC) vs Hittite (1275 - 1180 BC)

 

[Rico]

How's this going?

@Nathangun @Bootie

 

[Nathangun]

About six turns left in both, it's been neck and neck through out.

 

[Nathangun]

First result in, my Trojans squeaking a victory.

 

[Nathangun]

Another tight battle against @Bootie has gone my way. Hell of a fight.

 

[Rico]

BLUE Empire captures TROY.

That concludes ROUND 5 -- BLUE and GREEN tied for second place with 3 points... RED in the lead with 4.

[Nathangun]

@Nelson1812 you want to set this up?

 

[Nelson1812]

@Nathangun
Game set-up... under Archie, PW FGM1, have fun.
(Map = pot luck!)

 

[Rico]

Bootie and I want a 50% refund - -we only got half a playable map!

 

[Nathangun]

@Bootie won't be trying his flanking from the woods maneuver.

Challenge accepted.

 

[Rico]

First battle of this round completed: YELLOW Empire captures ELAM.

@Bootie was seriously unlucky not to win this one... after some reckless attacks my Elamites collapsed spectacularly giving @Bootie a 60 -24 = +36% win.
THEN a few turns later, his Elamites dominoed and collapsed even MORE spectacularly and ended in a win for me: 74 - 35 = +39%.
So I scrape home by +3%.



BATTLE 1: @Nelson1812 vs @Nathangun -- ALEPPO: Assyrian (1365 - 891 BC) vs Phoenician (1088 - 801 BC) --

BATTLE 2: @Bootie vs @Rico -- ELAM: Elamite (1500 - 816 BC) vs Babylonian (1594 - 891 BC) -- @Rico wins by +3%

 

[Nathangun]

First result in I lose by 27%
