Some aspects from coalitions on attack declarations (from the rules in the second post of this thread):

• For the purposes of determining the order, the order of all partners within a coalition vis-a-vis all the other players in the tournament is based on the partner within the coalition with the highest level of inflicted casualties from battles in the previous round, and the order within the coalition is determined by each coalition partner's maximum level of inflicted casualties from battles in the previous round.

• The partners in a coalition can during any given round in total only make as many attacks as the number of partners in that coalition minus one.
  • As a result, one of the coalition partners will not be able to make an attack announcement in any given round.
  • Example: If there are two partners in a coalition, only one of them can announce attacks that round.

Think Blagrot's c/c fell in our game, but check with him just to be sure.

Hi Blagrot! See above: did your C-in-C fall in battle against Aetius39 last round?

He charged valiently into battle to rally his wavering men! And immediately dropped dead.
Treachery is of course suspected.

[kronenblatt]

Ha ha! That sure is "fallen" to me!

Treacherous Betrayerous crossing over???

Treacherous Betrayerous crossing over???

Yes, could be: his family is originally from the east, I think.

[rbodleyscott]

kronenblatt attacks batesmotel, using the army of Paropamisadai and requesting the aid of his coalition partner rbodleyscott.

Attacker stakes: Hyrkania
Defender stakes: Parthyaia

rbodleyscott will assist kronenblatt's attack on Parthyaia using the army of Gedrosia. (Whith Indian allies if that is permitted for a supporting attack).

[Aetius39]

Aetius39 from Armenia (no allies) attacks Blagrot in Kappadokia.

Begone!^^

[kronenblatt]

Aetius39 from Armenia (no allies) attacks Blagrot in Kappadokia.

Begone!^^

Please specify also with which of your two armies: Armenia or Atropatene.

Armenia!

[batesmotel]

batesmotel verbally attacks the dastartdly rbodleyscott and kronenblatt for attacknig Parthayia and hence leave me unable to declare any attackss.

Batesmotel will happily provide support to coalition partner deeter wherever requested.

[deeter]

As much as I dislike Hyrcania, my Meidan army attacks kronenblatt there and calls on Batesmotel for assistance. He can have that backwater if we win.

Deeter

I'm sorry (well, not really sorry) but you can't do that, since Hyrkania is already a satrapy-at-stake, due to my attack above.

The rules (under Attacks):
...
Neither of these two satrapies must be already included as a satrapy-at-stake in another player's attack this round.
...

Thus, you can only attack a satrapy that is not already a satrapy-at-stake. So please make another attack declaration.

[kronenblatt]

kronenblatt attacks batesmotel, using the army of Paropamisadai and requesting the aid of his coalition partner rbodleyscott.

Attacker stakes: Hyrkania
Defender stakes: Parthyaia

rbodleyscott will assist kronenblatt's attack on Parthyaia using the army of Gedrosia. (Whith Indian allies if that is permitted for a supporting attack).

Yes, it's permitted, since rules (under Army Lists) state:

An attacking player and an aiding coalition partner can for their respective battles select any army (and available allies) from his/her own controlled satrapies (but not from a satrapy controlled by the coalition partner), again provided always that there is an uninterrupted route through friendly satrapies (his/her own or any of his/her coalition partners') between the satrapy of the selected army or ally, as applicable, and the satrapy being attacked.

and since there is an uninterrupted route between Indike and Parthyaia.

[deeter]

I have been informed that I cannot attack Hyrcania (not that I really wanted to) so the Median army shall attack RBS on Persis with Batesmotel's assistance, of course.

Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me.

What armies/allies?

[deeter]

Medes with Georgian allies. Don't know about Batesmotel.

This infamy is to be expected when you control most of the landscape.

[kronenblatt]

Deeter

Can't use Georgian 331 BC - 252 AD allies: only controllers of Kappadokia (4), Armenia (8), or Atropatene (11) may.

(Only allies you may use are Arab 312 BC - 299 AD as allies, thanks to your control of Mesopotamia (9). Please write in post if you want to.)

[Blagrot]

I will be seeking vengenace in battle against Aetius39 for the death of Blagrot the first (also known as the not-very-greek-sounding) and supporting my coalition partner with the army of Macedon if needed/allowed.
