turns back.
Quinns have just shown me another "trick", that I have not noticed ever before:
The use of the ZOC, that "useless" units actually have when sending them to the "right tiles" in due time - forcing a superior force to stop attacking - waiting for an even more superior enemy force to arrive and make a clean kill. Trapped!First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

Yeah, Milamber trapped my phalanx by ZOC's with just a warrior a little horse and a city. I had to disband it to keep it from being enslaved. I was pretty impressed by that one. I am more than just a little ticked still. Its a good game we have going, but he just won't stay out of my land

sorry you fired the first shot and i was just exploring and wham out of nowhere enslaved. so i figure i can prosecute a war for as long as you care to wage it.
I heard a loud voice, I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! It's rider was named Death, and hades was following close behind him. They were given power over one fourth of the earth to kill by the sword, famine and plague.

It's not so far fetched Birdman. In our example, three of my spread out warriors (not really useless, comparitively speaking) surrounded three of your phalanxes that were stacked together. A larger force of 5 warriors and 3 samurai pinned your phalanx group. The phalanx group was then destroyed by the warrior and samurai group, because the phalanx group could move nowhere except to attack the larger force.Originally posted by TheBirdMan

I see ZOC's, by weaker units, representing cutting an isolated army's supply line, (something that isn't explicit in the rules, but can be forced on the enemy by using ZOC's around over extended units). If you don't use and move in "fronts" then you should prepare to be surrounded, have your "supply line" cut, and then have to fight your way out of it.
That is exactly what played out here. Your phalanx group was way over-extended, Birdman. It wasn't really a "trick", it was just basic military tactics -- applied to CtP.

Are you blokes only just figuring that out now? NOW you know why a stack of Phalanxes is useless except at defending cities
Okay, so that's one less tactic i can use against BirdMan when i eventually run into him
Speaking of BirdMan, turn 106 to JabiruPoo 16 hours ago
