Quick Poll - Attack DR this turn or wait one turn? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

This poll will last less than 24 hours. Reference Screenshot in next post.

We are in a position to attack DR city of Aquarius, this turn, with 4 of our 5 Horsemen (with the 5th able to move into same position but not attack, but support defencively, but not Forted, if counterattacked). Or we can move Marcus up with others and wait until next turn to attack (and allowing them to reinforce).

We are Weak compaired to DR

DR now has Barb Hordes (besides the other TNA forces) on their Border, that threatens their Iron Supply.

Aquarius is now size 7, which shows that they added their workers to their cities and don't have any/many to reconnect the Iron, if the Barbs threaten/Cut it. So, not as much of a chance of them counterattacking in as much of a force, if also having to deal with Barbs on their Iron (Barbs move before they do).

So, the time seems ripe to attack (I would), but we might lose all before we get the next save. Or be too weak to attack the turn after.

But don't forget our Role in all of this, to help keep DR busy, while Euph & BoH Main Forces move into position to do a major attack. The more that we keep from reinforcing against the main trust, the better chance that that trust will succeed.

Screenshot of Aquarius Area Full PM-box? Change here!

Screenshot of the area (including Barb) of the area. Barb Horse Stacks are:

stack of 4 Barb Horse - 4 of Marcus (on Mountain)
stack of 8 barb Horse - 7 of Marcus
stack of 4 barb Hosse - 8 of Marcus (and nect to DR Iron)

So, there is the very real possibility that DR will have 12 Barb Horses on their Iron, when they open their save, next turn.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

The thing is, those barbs could just as easily go for us if we wait. I'd rather get our attack in now. If we fall, DR will still be weakened, giving the barbs a chance at pillaging.

IIRC BOH should be attacking next turn. Let's not give DR any slack with which to defend against them.
