Thracian (Triballi) 350 BC - 46AD v's Pontic 84-47 BC.

Good choices....hmmm, I think I will go Pontic, and hope for open terrain.

@HOA_KSOP

First result in: YELLOW Empire captures MAURETANIA and thereby the BLUE Empire's capital with a 49 - 24 = +25% Major Victory.

@Nelson1812 split his force, moving his infantry into the hilly, rough ground, leaving his Roman cavalry isolated -- my all-cavalry Vandal army swung right and pounced! ... and that was enough to carpe the diem.

I'll update all the battle listings etc this evening or on the weekend.

[Nelson1812]

@HOA_KSOP interested to know if you consider these men to be hidden, as I often wonder what is visible to the opponent!

 

[HOA_KSOP]

Not sure why they are not.

 

[Rico]

Not sure why they are not.

From @Badger73
Unlike infantry, cavalry isn't hidden at the edge of a woods. Mounted units need to be two squares back to remain undetected.

Hmmm, that's interesting. Not sure I agree with the rule as written, but it is what it is. Thanks for sharing.

Well, it's not like a 15 hand animal can crouch down motionless at the edge of a woods and conceal the riders straddling their saddles . . .

Well, it's not like my troops were on the edge of the woods. But if you say so...

That was brutal ...

 

[Rico]

[HOA_KSOP]

@Rico, the Red Empire prevails in Italia, 59-27. @Nelson1812, thanks for a game well contested. I was a little worried about your artillery and your tanks, er, elephants. My veteran legions held their ground, then carried the day.

 

[Rico]

RED Empire conquers ITALIA WITH +32% Major Victory -- moving them into 2nd spot on 7 points.

The battle for CARTHAGE rages on -- a very close, bloody Roman vs Roman affair.

@Wellsonian @Badger73 @Nathangun -- how go the battles for ASIA and BOSPORUS?

@Wellsonian @Badger73 @Nathangun -- how go the battles for ASIA and BOSPORUS?

Still ongoing, been we're getting a turn a day usually after a slow start because of my covid.

 

[Badger73]

@Wellsonian @Badger73 @Nathangun -- how go the battles for ASIA and BOSPORUS?

We're in the thick of the mid-game scrum. @Wellsonian has the turn but his plate is pretty full lately. I am prepared to offer him very generous terms for surrendering the field acknowledging White munificence . . .
