3 Hittite cities fall to Arab forces in one turn? Scarey.

1815AD Turn sent to EliitMees of the Hittites.

The people of Hittiteland are very disappointed at this unprovoked Arab invasion. Our peaceful workers and peasants mean no harm to their neighbours. We hope that Portugal and Russia will not tolerate such agressive behaviour on our continent and will help us to fight the terrorists (who already killed many innocent people) and to catch their blood-thirsty dictator.

Meanwhile, 1 arabic worker killed by our angry warriors

Ahem ... Terrorists are militant non-governmental individuals. The Arabic military is quite government sponsored.

Story courtesy of Al-Abarat:

*bam ba da bum ba da bum ... bum bum bum ...*
And now, courtesy of Al-Abarat, we bring you ... Arabia's top rated news cry- 5 Salah! Well known for its incisive commentary and cruel mockery of Infidels, 5 Salah is THE news cry to hear, if you can hear only one - or five!
*ba da bum ... bum ... bum ...*

"In today's news ... The military has announced further gains in the realm of the Hittites, including the capital of Hittiteland, Hattusus, and interior city Ankuwa, as well as the port city of Adana. A report on the actions of the Faithful follows this report.
"This reporter is grateful for the actions of the Faithful, as they have proven their valor and are now reclining in victory in Hattusas, or with Allah.
"However, this reporter is concerned about the expansion of the Arab nation without the proper expansion of the bureaucracy that is needed to support such an empire. Will not corruption be rampant in such a nation? Can we not convert the Infidels without destroying the very building blocks of the civilization needed to properly respect the wishes of Allah?
"Perhaps the Government would explain to us how our concerns over rampant corruption will be addressed. A second Palace in or near the new additions would be a positive sign, as would the expansion of Courthouses and other buildings of Governmental presence. The construction of Mosques in the various former Hittite possessions is a good first step, but we hope our Fearless Leaders will continue to expand the presence of the Arabic Nation alongside that of the Islamic."

"Here follows the actions of the Faithful:

"In the brief Battle of Adana, a single 4/4 Ansar Warrior (AW) defeated a 4/4 Spear, with 1/4 remaining, taking the city.

"In the battle of Ankuwa:

4/4 AW loses to 4/4 spear, 2/5 (promoted)
4/4 AW beats 4/4 spear, 3/4 remaining
4/4 AW beats 2/5 spear, 3/4 remaining, takes Ankawa

"In the battle of Hattusus:

4/4 AW loses to 4/4 spear -> 3/5 (promoted)
4/4 AW beats 4/4 spear -> 1/4
4/4 AW retreats from 4/4 spear -> 3/4 (spear) 1/4 (AW)
4/4 AW beats 3/5 Spear -> 4/5 (promoted)
4/4 AW beats 3/4 Spear -> 1/4, takes Hattusus

"In the brief skirmish around Harran, a Warrior was defeated by a 4/4 Medieval Warrior, with 3/4 remaining.

"Several Hittite workers were captured as well, near Adana and Ankuwa.

"So concludes our report for this evening. Tune in next Salaat for more news of the actions of the Faithful ... go with Allah!"

The Arabic Most Holy Government begs to differ. We are a Republic, whose members are elected by the People we govern. Our people chose this path, and we can do nothing but follow their will, and the will of Allah. Perhaps if the Hittite people were to find Allah, they would be more favored in this world?

BUM BA DA BUM BUM BUM ... BUM ... BUM

From Al-Abarat, the producers of Five Salat, comes The Republic of Arabia's highest rated late-night cry ... Fifth Salaah with Jamal Al-Lenal!

"Good evening gentlemen and ladies, and welcome to Fifth Salaah.

"Any of you follow the progress of the Faithful in Hittiteland recently? Hmm? Seems those Hittites have been the butter to our knife lately, at least if you believe the casualty reports coming from our Trusted Government.

"Of course, a butterknife isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer ...

"Especially when you consider the fact that our trusted leader can't even spell our new cities' names right half the time. Hattusha, Hatusha, Hatusa, which is it?
"Heck, I was pretty sure we took that city LAST year, but it was spelled Hattusus. Sometimes I wonder if they're just going back and retaking cities just so the media can get better drawings...

"Anyone here ever go to Aleppo before the war?"
"Well, I was wondering ... Can Aleppo really change its spots? For their sake I hope so ... Because I hear the spot it's on now is currently occupied by Ansar Warriors!

"I heard yesterday that the Hittite Navy has sent a ship towards our new 'possessions'.
"Perhaps their sailors have decided the water is too hot up north? Eh?
"That, or they finally figured out that our Ansar Warriors can't swim with all of that heavy armor plating ... "

Now for the casualty reports ...

Hattusha:

4/4 AW beats 4/4 Spear, 2/4 remaining
4/4 AW beats 4/4 Spear, promoted, 3/5 remaining, takes Hattusha

Aleppo:

4/4 AW beats 4/4 Spearman, prometed, 2/5 remaining
4/4 AW loses to 4/4 Spearman -> 1/4 remaining
4/4 AW beats 4/4 Spearman, 2/4 remaining
4/5 AW beats 1/4 Spearman, 4/5 remaining, captures Aleppo

Several workers also taken around Hattusha and other cities.

Turn to Portugal...
