alva,
Ok, that could be a problem... but I'd rather have that then lose a WC to that elite horse.

don't we have 2 cats ready to hit the horsies with? One is going to complete in OG without extra gold, one being rushed in WW?
I don't like giving away Monsoon that easily, even if it was lost in advance. If we can destroy that minimal stack this turn, we leave a target for those 4 extra immortals near it, which I think is nicer. Other then that, taking out the forces of A6 makes more sense, so if we need to choose, A6 looks a better choice.
Are our generals not forgetting Hurricane? Sure, we can't attack there, but it looks like we will have to face 7 immortals there, and have to defend 2 mountains against them. That looks more of a threat to me then the stack 'heading to EotS'.

BTW, totally unrelated to the war right now, but it looks like RP has built another coastal city, is this right? Further, has Port isolation increased in size yet? Now that GoW decided to open up the continent for an invasion of us, we might want to take it in some 15 turns, it would make a nice beach head...

DeepO,
I think you're right about having 2 cats ready to hit the horsies. In that case... ah, it doesn't REALLY matter. I guess bombard with both of 'em first. Then, depending on how we did, attack either with reg swords or WCs.
I'll have another look at the Hurricane situation.

Hurricane looks ok for now, based on the screenshot. EDIT: not quite, see below.
Nathan said he moved one of our east coast galleys and can see the Voxian one... we ought to move both of our galleys into position and then kill the Voxian one next turn. Edit: see below for more detailed idea.
The west coast galley should move into O. Gale (safe there). Then proceed up the coast.
If GoW is dumb and moves their galley down the coast, we could bombard it with the cats & kill it with our galley (if we want to use the cats on that rather than Voxian invaders... which come to think of it is doubtful).

One thing I would definately start doing is asking ND if they decided on our Feudalism offer yet. Tell nothing more for the moment, but Mav_son seems to be online, and he should be able to post a short message immediately back. If he asks what's happening, simply respond that you'll get back to him after we are further in our turn, and can comment in full.

Hmm... a few things I thought of now that I've pondered the situation more...
The pikeman near EotS should move to counter the Voxians on the East Coast Mountians. We need more protection there b/c of the untimely death of one of our swords.
edit: nevermind about the east coast galley stuff... I misunderstood something.

Look at the screenshot thread FP made, I added some info

* No need to give up Monsoon.
* Any remaining WCs should be based in Tempest.
* Think of the east coast battle on a turn-by-turn basis.
* The Immortals at A6... we don;t HAVE to take'em out now. I'd rather hit them NOT across a river.
* Almost time to start focusing on offensive production.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.

One other thing...
We have a WC on SS6, huh? Since I want to move the pikeman north of EotS to that tile, we should use the WC to assist in the attack of Arashi 6.
Did we really rush the cat in SS? If so, I guess it moves to SS6 and takes a shot at the immortals.

Theseus,
I think we do need to kill the units on A6, or at least a couple of them.
We've gotta start whittling them down. We have 2 WCs that can attack A6 from the east, meaning NOT across the river.
I would change my earlier plan to this:
- bombard A6 with Arashi cat.
- attack A6 with the two eastern WCs.
- attack A6 with med inf from Arashi until there is 1 enemy unit left.
- finish with WC from Arashi.

We need to wait for Nathan for final confirmation, but if we currently are at 39 gold, I think we rushed one in WW, and one in SS.
the WC in SS6: if we move him away, we have only 2 units there, against 3 immortals, right? doesn't that become to thin to hold on?

We would have what, a vet pike & a reg sword (fortified).
Vet pike: 3 + 3 (100% mtn bonus) = 6.
Reg sword: 2 + 2 + .5 (fortification) = 4.5
I agree it's a little bit risky, but the it's a risk I'm willing to take.

To be honest, I don't see them as our highest priority either.* The Immortals at A6... we don;t HAVE to take'em out now. I'd rather hit them NOT across a river.
It would be nice if we can kill one of them (even injure with a retreat ).
