	T147 - 320 Ad Support Apolyton

Monkey have departed from their script, and disbanded the city before we could get there. I moved a horse onto the mountain for a look.



That's 16 NM, 7 Archers, 5 Cats on the stack.

Out west we can see 4 NM, 3 Cat, 2 Archers.

Copy of what I sent to Python ...

quote: If we both move due south as originally intended for the approach to the now-extinct Orang, Monkey could hit your stack without us covering and be able to retreat to safety. However, we know their forces are not all available to strke, as at least nine units are out west. If Python moved south-east or southwest monkey can't hit you this turn, but we know that they can't hit you with everything anyway. Due south for the CoD stack looks attractive as there are hills all the way down to Pri Cent which they can't attack us on. Are you guys tempted to split the stacks at this point with CoD heading for PriCent and Python heading west? Or would you prefer to keep formation, move '3' and head for PriCent together? The third, most direct option (both move south) gives Monkey a chance to hit you, but not with everything?

Two thoughts on this turn:

1. Should we send some workers to the front? No-mans land is getting larger these days. I say we do.

2. Does Izz continue cycling workers/30s builds or should it push hard on units as per the New Army Group plan? Python are now muscle-bound and can't sustain more units. I guess they're building some mkts. I'd like to pump out some spears from Izz.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

New units from this turn form our second front which we are not going to send to the far south as long as Monkey could outflank us. So these units could probably assemble by Siege Perilious and be called the 'Home Guard'.

Let's direct any new settlers down there too. One of the combat settlers we have in our stack could be used to plant a town at Gorilla 366. That would make a decent southern base of operations.

Or not. I wonder if they plan on abandoning all the way down to PC, and then holing up there and forcing us to hit a size 7 PC with 25+ Numids in it.

They might abandon PC and Palace Jump to a hill further south to hole up in.

Yes, that looks a good city site you mentioned. Slight risk of flipping, but on the fast road south. They'll have to pillage Gorilla36 to stop a town at Gorilla336 getting the road on that tile.
