The suspense is killing me!

Don't play too quickly though, we certainly can't afford to make any bad moves here.

Which is probably a good argument for cats - if they do that, we can bleed them.

My count in EotS (leaving 5 Pikes for Arashi) at minimum in 3 turns is:

7 WC's/Horsemen, 4 Pikes, 1 Med Inf, 4 Cats.

That's if we lose every battle we fight up till then.

If we take out the Voxians threatening Monsoon, we can pull more pikes from Arashi farther south than if we leave them intact.

The Immortals 6 of Arashi need to be hit in any case, as they are 3 turns away from EotS themselves.

I am just counting.

None of the foot from Arashi can beat the Immortals back to EotS if we attack this turn. Unless they want to arrive wounded.

I agree, we need to destroy the 4 on the FP, and GoWs horse. More than that? I think we risk leaving EotS to be a near run thing. Too nearly run for my liking. But maybe I am being too conservative.

Am I right in thinking that Vox still can't see if Tempest is defended or not? If we fortify a spear there this turn, they don't see if it is truely fortified, or only half

Re: WCs from Monsoon and WW: no thanks. Cats would be better. And I would prefer a rushed cat in SS over one in WW, as it can help in the defense.

Definately wake Thesues, but please, can one of you Americans do that? Calling from Belgium is kind of expensive

Oh, last thought: Vox said reinforcements had landed, not that they were under way IIRC. Which means that our sword didn't die without a fight, it has killed one of their immortals first. I think.

Nothing wrong with being conservative. Remember every Immortal we kill near Arashi frees up a Pike to go to Tempest/EotS.

Pikes fortified in EotS have 67.3% odds against Immortals.

Vox can't see Tempest, I ran a test to make sure earlier this evening. They probably don't know it's there yet, but will next turn regardless. Bolderberg's Pike will be stationed there at the end of the turn (not fortified) most likely.

Except for the unit that scores the final kill, slow-movers attacking across the river will end their turn in Arashi. They can heal the turn after, and still intercept the Voxians just as they're on the outskirts of EotS. WCs should be able to hit the Voxians outside Monsoon and end the turn in Arashi to heal for their next battle.

If we glide a unit (WC most likely) into Tempest after moving Bolderberg's Pike into it, and hit fortify all, does that affect the way the Pike will look?

Fortify all sometimes does not show anything as fortified. New bug.

Should we shuffle a Pike to Tempest this turn? Assuming the best, they will only have 8 Immortals next to Arashi next turn. Should we tempt them?

Let's see what all is left in Arashi. A lot may depend on how many injuries we suffer, especially attacking with slow-movers (to whatever extent we do).

Hi Theseus... still sleepy?

Fortify all: yes, normally they show fortified, sometimes noone does. However, couldn't we circumvent the display bug by trying it a few times until we see them fortified?

I can't see them attacking with 8 when they passed on attacking with 11. I think we should wait to decide on the Pike to see how well our units attacking do first. If we have 4 Pikes and 2 healthy swords/med inf I would feel safe with the 5th pike going to Tempest. Maybe send it anyways.
