    Would there be a chance we can take Elipolis leaving the offensive units where they are and pulling the pikes back.

      I went ahead and hit Vox's pike near Inchoff. Got 'im with the first MedInf, and we didn't even take any damage. That gives us five healthy MedInfs there to attack with next turn unless Vox pillages the road we'd need to cross (in which case we'd kill their pillager but nothing else).

        BTW, Vox has an elite Immortal (full health ), I sure hope they don't get as lucky as us, don't really feel like taking down an pike army.

          Vox has, at a minimum, one fortified vet spear and two unfortified vet spears in Elipolis. They probably have at least one vet warrior, and possibly other units. So a fight for Elipolis would be a close one.

          What we might want to do is go ahead and launch our attacks around Inchon and see what happens. If we can knock off or seriously weaken Vox's two strongest immortals there, we could consider taking a shot at Elipolis and proceeding beyond that only if we win the first battle there.

            How can we screw up / possibly capture their Cats?
            The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

              Do we want to hit the I6 stack with cats and see if we can get a shot at the elite immortal?

                The elite immortal is a tasty target, but so are those catapults, any chance we can get 'em?

                    We would need to plow through:
                    1 vet pike
                    1 reg pike
                    +
                    1 pike 1hp
                    1 Im 1hp
                    all unfortified (and sacrifice our last attacking unit )

                      Too many units with the cats, and not enough of our own units available. That was about the first thing I checked, believe it or not. (Edit: It would technically be theoretically possible if we'd use pikes offensively against a 1hp pike and immortal and we'd win against both pikes, but that could bite us awfully hard if luck is against us - and our first three attackers would be subject to being pinged by cats.)

                        Save's on the way, Zeit. If Shiber missed anyone else, let me know.

                            Thanks Nathan

                            Boy, we really are screwed up on Inchon.

                            Any idea on how to save the situation?

                              Looks worse then it is, I'm sure what there losses were though.

                                Ok, Nathan, I figured you'd thought of it.

                                So given what you've told me, I concur: go for the elite immortal.
