I've drawn the movement sequence chits and assigned them. The winner of completed games draws two chits as usual. There was one drawn game so they each draw one chit. There was one incomplete game, so they are assigned chits 11 and 12, making chit 10 the rebellion chit this turn. There is no rebellion.

I will send out the MSN for Turn 6 shortly.

Nabataea - hidde has MSN 1

Wow, Hidde and Mouser running away with it. Guess its mainly a scrap for 3rd place

[hidde]

Go for broke...
Nabataea attack Mauryan Empire.

[ianiow]

Parthia will attack the Ptolemies.

Sorry, but you would have to pass through Seleucid Kingdom and they have an active army to prevent that (a star on the campaign map). Looking at the Overlords & Vassals tree, you can't attack anyone in your tree, so your only option is to attack the Seleucids. You are a victim of your own success.

Nabataea - hidde (1,100 FP) vs. Seleucid Empire - stockwellpete (1,200 FP). Defender sets up challenge in Middle-Eastern Agricultural.

Since the Seleucids are locked in battle, Parthia's 3 area move is legal.
Parthia - ianiow (1,000 FP) vs. Ptolemaic Kingdom - mikec_81 (1,200 FP). Defender sets up challenge in Mediterranean Agricultural.

It is now time for MSN 4: Saka - devoncop. (Note that you cannot attack anyone in the Mauryan Empire vassal tree, and your Overlord can decide who you attack)

That is a healthy way to look at it. There are two mighty Overlords now, who control all other nations except two who have been able to maintain their independence. I forgot that we used to award 5 victory points at the end of the game for every player who was independent (i.e. not a vassal). I'll add that to the rules for next time. I've never won one of these types of campaigns (but Michael Saunders - Bactrian Empire has won a 20+ player DBA version).

[devoncop]

I therefore request permission from my overlord to attack Hsiung-Nu but if my overlord so desires we will attack whoever they wish.

We await instructions.........(unsure whether my instructions come from Parthia or Mauryan Empire..(I am so far down the food chain!) so will wait to hear my target !

Vassals, please PM your immediate overlord about your move in advance so that we don't have to wait twice as long for each move.

[devoncop]

All noted.

I have PM ianiow (Parthia) as my direct overlord.

[devoncop]

With the full authority of Parthia.... Hsiung-Nu will be attacked by the resurgent forces of Saka.

[w_michael]

Saka - devoncop (1,100 FP) moves 1 area to attack Hsiung-nu - w_michael (1,200 FP). Defender sets up the challenge in Steppe.

The final turn campaign map and score sheet have been updated (page 14).

It is now time for MSN 5 Atropatene - Ulysisgrunt. Note that at you cannot attack anyone in the Nabataea vassal tree unless there are no other options. Your immediate overlord, Ptolemaic Kingdom, may override your choice, so please PM him to seek guidance.

Challenge created for Saka/devoncop. Password: WellHsiung

[MikeC_81]

Freedom of action for vassals in the Nabatean empire remains in effect. As long as they continue to pay the VP tribute!
