Operation "Backstab"

[mostly-harmless]

Sounds ok. Not sure though about Imperio seeing our HA retreating South. How could they? A shame we did not retreat them NorthWest, we would be in a position to attack Oxhuitza one turn earlier.

About the naval movement, I agree. I was wondering why we moved westward again and did not chase after Imperios galley. Our units being seen sailing around northern Imperio territory should give them and PAL something to think about.

Plus, the key element of this attack is surprise:

Surprise and Fear?

I think we should send Secretariat (sentry) HA down south where she would be more use.

Unit supply cost. We will never catch that galley unless Imperio wants us to. But I see the point about scouting the channel, although I doubt Imperio has the hammers to build 2 galleons and fill them with troops, and I doubt PAL wants to spare them.

In the end we will have to rely on the comfy chair!

Since Imperio missed their turn, we can save the Curassiers. So should we delay the attack until Curassiers are healed up? (And a third curassier joins them.)

[Sullla]

Nope, since this attack is based on speed, not force. If we wait 3-4 turns for the cuirassiers to heal, there will just be more defenders entrenched up there. And if we see what looks like bad matchups, we can simply retreat and come back when those cuirassiers are indeed healed.
