The Russians again back-off from direct confrontations with the numerically superior Viking forces in the North. Hope that the Aussie Swordsmen can escape as well because converting the Aussie Swordsmen into Midieval Infantrymen will turn the tide in our favor in the North.

The Russians recommend that the Aussies secure the road to the iron near their captured northern city. Build a Barracks and upgrade the Swordsmen their so that they can better attack the Vikings in a few turns after the upgrades. By that time the Russians will have a few more Horsemen in the Northern territories and a combined assault can begin like planned but failed before. The Aussies concentrated in the South and the Russians concentrated in the North.

Northern forces moving more inland towards center of continent hoping that the AIs have lost sight of them and heading towards Iron source. Hopefully the Vikings just over extended themselves if not then the same strategic retreat and avoidance techniques will be used until more forces arrive in about 10 turns from the south.

The Russian encountered One Swordsmen when they moved south east towards the city that killed a warrior. Hope fuly the Horsemen can outdistance the others and take the source of Iron next to the city while surviving the cities counter-attacks.

good idea , once that iron gone we can start knocking of his current swordsmen and know we wont have to face any others... that will b ethe beginning of the end for him.....

once that acomplished we can start the division of viking territory .. i suggest similar division as the rest of our isle , that is right down the middle.... you take west i take east citys..

but we can swap any citys we take between now and final death of vikings at the end of war...

For my esteemed colleagues in arms
The Aussie Generals of the Northern Armies in the Nordic infested lands of the North

Here are the Russian battle plans

The Horsemen(4) in the North and the Catapults(2) with the Warrior(1) will continue to cautiously approach the Vikings Iron supply while the Horsemen(2) that just landed in the southern mountain gap by the other sorce of Iron on the western coast approach from the southwest. The Galley that dropped these Horsemen will return in about 10 more turns on a regular rotation and will be joined by a second Galley on the second trip north with more reinforcements bringing the reinforcements to 4 units per voyage for the western transport fleet. It will take approximately six turns for these Horsemen(2) that were just unloaded to reach the others on the northern edge of the mountains and only 3 tiles from the western edges of the Vikings city near the Iron supply.

The last attempt at getting close to that city resulted in high Russian losses from the cities defenders using the roads to move to any of the tiles within the 3 tile radius of the city cutting off early attempts to get the Iron supplies next to but on the opposite and protected side of the city. Hopefully the Vikings gold coffers are running on empty with having to support his counter-attacking Swordsmen, Archers, and the Spearmen surely garrisoned in his cities after the apparent rush buying of mercenary Swordsmen that plagued the Russians and Aussies earlier. Lets hope his gold reserves are dry and only one or two units can counter-attack from the city. Hopefully if all goes well the forces on the western hills and mountains from that city will have the Vikings pre-occupied while the new Horsemen arriving from the south go through the central valley south of the city where the Aussies and Russian first fought side by side and over the mountains gap on the eastern side of the city and secure the Iron source. Hopefully the Horsemen's retreat abilities will keep them safe from counter-attacks. Lets hope and pray.

The Russian Generals


Players Note:
What I wouldn't give for some bombers or modern artillery right now as this mountainous terrain is working in the Vikings favor but I soon hope to turn this advantage to my own uses defensively.

The first battle of the new offensive in the North bodes well for the Aussies and the Russians. While the Vikings are busy reacquireing the city given to the Aussies during cease-fire negotiations the forces that have dodged those same Viking forces have won their first battle against the Vikings in the north by defending a solitary Horsemen who was attacked by the Viking's rear-guard of Swordsmen and actually miraculously lived to tell the tale as other Horsemen rushed to his aid. This unit is being applauded as a hero even if it narrowly survived the battle. The frist battle won by the Russian's northern campaigns have renewed morale after running away in 'strategic retreats' for far too long. A lone Viking Swordsmen crests the hilltop overlooking the scene from the south and cringes as the tired of running and now bloodthirsty Horsemen cry-out for Viking blood to be spilt in vengeance of the young Warriors that were slaughtered in the earlier northern campaigns. This marks a turning point in the Nordic campaigns and will forever be remembered by the Russian peoples as the story of the power of the lone Russian Horsemen a unit soon to be very valueable indeed to the Russians future empire.

The battle was hard fought for the Iron Source costing the sacrifice of two Russian Horsemen but in the end the wounded lone Russian Horsemen again carried the day as the last unit with in range of the battle. Having heard of the lost battles of the two Horsemen before him that faced the Viking Swordsmen defending the vital Iron supplies the Horsemen knew the Viking Swordsmen could not be uninjured and though while gravely injured himself the lone Russian Horsemen spurred his steed forward into battle and won the day yet again. While standing atop the hilltop with the precious Viking Iron supply the lone Horsemen could see the mass of Viking Swordsmen and Archers approaching from the North and knew that his actions might have also sparred the new Aussie controlled city of Oslo from being sieged or burnt to the ground and razed as the Vikings had done in the South to the other Aussie captured cities actually killing their own innocent peoples. Though he most probably will die the lone Russian Horsemen will pillage the Iron mines infrastructure to insure that more Russian and Aussie lives will not be lost to the bite of Viking Iron swords.

The last ride of the Lone Horsemen

The lone Horsemen quickly completed their task of pillaging the hills Iron Ore extracting supplies and equipment just in time to dash off into the adjacent Mountains before the army of 4 Archers and 2 Swordsmen advanced up from the base of the hill. Once in the mountains the lone Horsemen were ambushed by 2 Warriors attempting to cross the mountains and were promoted to veteran after defeating both ambush attempts. Weary from pillaging and yet another days battles fought and won the lone Horsemen now veterans were beginning to lay down to sleep when another unexpected Viking ambush appeared from the city near them. Tired and half asleep the lone Horsemen were butchered like cattle before they could react to the savage Viking Swordsmen that fell upon them as they slept. Forever will the memories of the deeds of the lone Horsemen be sung in battle hymns and beer halls from Moscow to Oslo as they gave their lives valiantly protecting the futures of the northern peoples of the Nordic lands and their brethren Aussie and Russian soldiers who vow to avenge their deaths.

It was with great sadness that the aussie soldiers in the north heard of the massacre of the lone battalian of russian horsemen,

A week of mourning was called for and a national memorial day was installed in australian calenders.

Aussie swordsmen launxhed a savage attack agaisnt vikings in all directions and it wasnt until sense finalyl prevailed that order ws returned and the australains finally redirected their attacks at the coastal viking city..

in a berzerk attack two swrodsmen with little hjealth left attacked the coastal viking city and destroyed both spearmen within... the villagers swore allgience to the australains and a gang of local workers were immediatly set to rebuilding the roads to the southern city.

Viking government immdeiatly called for contact with the australian and in a cowardly offer the surrended another city to the uastralians for a cease fire...

Australia knowing it needed a fe wturns to rest its wounded sworrdmen and knowing its med armys were still a few eons away, accepted th edeal and put its whole northern offence on hold till the newly aquired citys were defended.

This is great news with an army you can build the military academy later and other things too. Great for conquesting the rest of the Nordiclands.

The Russians lost another Horsemen to the attacking Archers near Odense but the counter-attack should defeat them soundly. More Horsemen are crossing the open area south of the Nordiclands.

Began the Sistine Chapel and the Sun Tzu's but will switch to Leonardo's and let the Aussies take a shot at SunTzu's when we get invention reserched soon.

Will trade Theology for Chivalry when the Aussies reach that advance.

Seems Russian science is advancing nicely especially when combined with Aussie augmented research in different fields. The Middle Ages sould go by much faster then normal.

Somewhere out there is another 5 empires waiting for us, Ohh. Remember to not bombard the Vikings city with the Great LightHouse as it will enable the exploration of the sea zones earlier than navigation. There appears to be some areas of long sea zones along the northern and eastern shores of the continent perhaps leading to other islands or continents. The western seas disappear into oceans so the Russian Galley with the Scout are headed for the eastern shores of the continent. A long journey to be sure.
