Dacians defeat Greeks 2 to 53%. Let's see if Syracusans can surpass that in their own battle. So far Morbio has all the chances.

2 - 53! How frustrating... it was 6 -53 when the house of cards came down and then there are rallies, to make a bad situation worse!

Despite a promising start the Syracusans won their battle versus the Greeks 8 - 40, which any other time would be considered a great win!

Thanks to Nosy for teaching me the value of buildings in a defensive game!

Persia defeats Arabia40 44%-16%, 15% casualties

I would have no objection to a two week cycle, being +12gmt if I'm working it can be hard to match every timeline and often my weekends don't sync as i can live upto a day ahead of many, meaning it's not always easy to get enough rounds in a day but at least 2 is usually possible, with more weekends, but I do have a show coming up in 6 weeks so things do get hectic.
Changing the move in time to 15gmt (3am) may be tricky if i don't get the message in time depends how long we have from the message, it's probably okay.

Blessed with a ridiculously good hill for defense, the Romans marched to set up their defense. Seeing this, the Pyrrhic foe resolved to fast march his army to prevent a set piece battle. He achieved this and forced the Romans to fight faster than they wanted and the battle was even for a series of impacts and melees. Roman charges broke a couple of pike units, opening gaps through which the Romans were able to turn flanks and break the line.

Romans successfully Defend North Rome 54-24 with 15% casualties.

Strategic Moves due 5.12 1500GMT

* Germania (Ironclad) and Nabatean (IMC) are DEFEATED in the prior turn. As reflected on the Turn 5 Campaign Map, all provinces of defeated players will have 2 defensive armies. The positions and also Kappadocia will not be refilled.

* There is a provisional result posted on province 31 Lysimachid with gamercb. The map reflects a victory for gamercb on that province. If you need to see the result of that battle in planning your Turn 5 move, then check the forum in the next day or so where the result will be posted. If the battle draws 1 army will retreat back to province 33.

[bbogensc]

3 Carthage armies on Sardinia, not 2.

[bbogensc]

gamercb do you have a result in the battle in province 31? Unfortunately, I will need to draw the match on time shortly. If you are ahead in point score can you please post a screenshot to the forum as I am willing to award the match if you are clearly advantaged also.

[bbogensc]

gamercb has prevailed and captures Province 31. The provisional result was correct as the province is captured with 2 armies.
