Yup, guess that's where all the money is going from the "Airport Improvement Fee"...

I'm signing you up for Strat PBEM 3...now.

The Iroquois are in receipt of everyone's promise to grind everyone else into dust or die trying. Our wise men have taken time out from MW training to consider the situation. We have very little experience with slow movement warfare and have two questions.

First, would it not be difficult for a small civ trying to press an attack to deal with a stack of three spears, a zero bombardment archer, and a scout moving one square at a time along our road system, with the two move scout pillaging as they went?

Second, if a civ is willing to suffer a bit of temporary pillaging, would not walls be difficult for an attacking civ armed with only archers to overthrow?

It is in the Iroquois interest that it's notable neighbors, custodians of so much future wisdom, stop this outrageous and destructive combat. But, no matter......

Peace is politically correct and all, but I quote Sir Ralph, in a very instructive thread in the strat forum:

Early warfare rocks

Guys, I'm very sorry, I might be around for 1-2 hours still, but I'll be away for the rest of the weekend, until Monday evening. I'm trying to help my long-term civ playing time by taking my wife on a skiing weekend.

[Harovan]

The turn is not yet here...

Enjoy your skiing weekend, alexman, and take care that you return healthy. I will conquer you while you're absent.

jshelr, if your pillaging stack is meant to be a treat, two words: go ahead!

[Dominae]

I'll play the turn within the next fifteen mintues. Hope alexman gets another in.
