It's OK, our horses are fine.

That Monkey stack at Gorilla-8 has 6 NMs and 12 cats.

In six turns time Python reinforcements of about 10 archers, 2 spears and 2 cats will all have arrived at Seige Perilous ready for upgrading when we send them Invention on the same turn.

Thing is, they have a string of units which will block the road. Our units may have to slog through the jungle to get to our souithern barracks town.

Also, LL have their galley snooping our coast, and we may need to divert units (such as a horse and an archer this turn) east to cover our towns there.

Meanwhile, we can continue to dance around Monkey's eastern towns to prevent them concentrating their forces and counterstriking at SP.

We still have the option for the island assault, but it's still size one - they must be poprushing, perhaps 2 numids are in there. 5 horses v 2 fortified numids? Doesn't sound great.

So, we safely drew forces away from SP/Orang . We can load the boats with 5 horse & 1 Spear and loiter them around the coast, moving southwards. The remainder could meet at SP111 - away from the roads. They can't risk approaching that off-road as they have the east to worry about.

Our big decision is whether to send six units to Howler (island) of keep a max-big stack on the main front, waiting to support Python's longbows in about 7 turns time.

OK - assuming 5 horse and 1 spear on the boats, do we send the advance 2 ahead to worry Monkey all round its coast, or wait for the 3rd to catch up?

I suggest the former, though moving ahead might expose more risk of galley assault or possible cat pinging if near a road.

I say don't tip our hand. Also mentioned in the MP contact thread - can we blockade the island town?
