So are we going with the Ghengis Farb pilliaging plan, or are we going to the mountain S-SW-SW (IIRC) unless we see a better oppertunity? (IE Roleplay Madrid or something)

[Aggie]

We'll decide based on what we see on the save, but pillaging is good since it cuts the flow of gs troops north into the combat area.

The save is here:

http://apolyton.net/upload/files/Panzer32/Fritz_DemogyptoftheDemogyptians70AD.SAV

And the message with the save:

There you go.
How long to Education?

Some intelligence: We supose there is a Stack of GS Knights onm the way to Zaragoza. If you can atack it it would help a lot.
Can you give some Screenys about your hopfully success in the south.
Please tell us if you need Ansars in the North.

Good luck
Darekill

I didn't see the stack he was talking about so I moved one rider south (we were going to do this anyways, yes?), and here's what I saw:

[Panzer32]

Just as a reply from the turn mail:

Darekill,

I am assuming you mean Invention? 6 turns.

Thanks for the intel about the GS riders. I didn't see them right off so I moved one rider south since we were going to do that anyways. See the pic about what he saw. Unfortunatly they are fortified on a mountain so we might have to not attack, but we will discuss in our forum.

[Aggie]

Let me think and I'll put orders up later.
Can we get a view of New Madrid, did these forces come out of Toledo or are they new.
Aggie

[Hot_Enamel]

My vote is still to eliminate 1 civ first. Then the next.

Get rid of RP first, then concentrate on GS.
Move south, eliminate the southern RP cities / raze the bastards.

Then let RP keep their 1 city capital. See how long they want to play the game out, and how long GS will be willing to feed gold into them.


And dont get me wrong...help our ND allies against GS...attack & pillage if we have to ... but I would like to see our strategy to focus on 1 civ first.

What can that GS stack do to ND?
Can ND hold out against them ? While we rampage south ?

[Aggie]

I tend to agree with He and here is my plan. Pnazer it is VERY important it be carried out as written, because we will use the roads and the last one out pillages.
1) a Rider pillages mountain road where we are and then He alone moves s,sw,sw
Now we a group move 1s
2) 1 Rider goes NW and pillages he can then move w or NW onto mountain.
3) Fortify one of the remaining riders and then Group move the rest sw
4) Fortified rider then pillages road and goes to hill for river/hill defensive bonus
5) One of the remaining riders pillage road where they are and ALL except that rider move s,sw to Hill. That rider goes to mountain since he does have enough movemnt points.

This will perhaps coast 2 riders but will cut the roads between new Madrid and Toldeo and Spain
What next?. Well I want to go S and threaten the Spanish cities and also get to that level land south of the mountains, that will force rp to either give all up to GS or die.

Also move rider force in north to cover Port Isolation, but don't be seen. If the Gs galley unloads a unit or two just let them be attacked from forces they can't see.

I editied to change groups final orders to the Hill s,sw instead of the mountain. This allows us to be on the road w of Barcelona on the next turn. also having 2 knights on mounatin might temp GS enough to try to attack. I doubt it but in these fights the odds are in our favor and we most likely get a GA, if Gs ignores our open riders we'll use them a best take advantage of the situation around them.

[Panzer32]

Aggie, remember that pilliaging takes up one movement point.

I have read through the orders and they don't work.

Please ammend them

Thanks

[Panzer32]

also, I just noticed this:

3 riders have a hitpoint missing. I am gathering that this is from a catapult, but it might be from a futile knight attack.

we didn't lose any riders though.

[UnOrthOdOx]

Am I one of them?

[Panzer32]

Aggie: We still need SMC orders that will work

Here is a picture of Ghengis' proposal. I believe it is the best thing for us. We also only have 1 rider outside the 'pack'.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

There shouldn't be any outside the pack the one that pillages the extreme south east tile moves first and uses a road for one of the movements allowing 2/3 of a movement point to move onto the rally tile. Heck the Rider that moved south to spot eh GS stack should move se to pillage the tile and then jump to the rally point.

I think pillaging the tiles is advantageous to our greater movement Riders. I still think pillaging all the roads is the best move as it will require them to rebuild lots of roads to regain their mobility versus just a few if we are selective.

It is my opinion that all of those Riders will be dead shortly simply because we are vastly outnumbered and in enemy territory and they should do the maximum amount of damage while possible for the next group to take advantage of.

[Panzer32]

Sorry guys, I forgot that we could use those roads. I guess Aggie's orders were ok after all. BUT, I would rather have them all together than seperate them. Aggie, do you like this proposal or should I stick with your original plan?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I don't want to imply anyone as being stupid, but if we go with my pillage proposal I think we should use the wounded units to pillage and then move to the Rally point as they won't get a chance to fortify. Then all the units not used to pillage will have a movement point to fortify causing any attack to attack full hitpoint fortified Riders.

This also means the ONLY thing that can attack them are the GS Knights near Pamplona or ones they may have hidden in Toledo or New Madrid - all foot units are out of it for that turn including catapults. The Knights have to come out from behind the walls.
