Round 1
Initiative levels

• Badger73: 7

• dim30: 7

Attack declarations

• Badger73: attacks Musasir (10) using Assyrian 1365-891 BC with no allies. dim30 defends using Mitanni 1594-1250 BC.

Fortuitous tidings from the region of Musasir! The Dread Lords of Assyria have established themselves as masters of the realm. Mitani usurpers are fallen and chariots of Assur grind their bones into dust.

Badger73 (Assyrian 1365-891 BC with no allies) - defeats - Dim30 (Mitanni 1594-1250 BC): 61-32.

A challenging match where the sons of Ashur, Anu, Enlil, and Enki proved themselves more potent and earned greater favor in the fortunes of war. Many thanks for an exciting game against a fun opponent.

[kronenblatt]

• dim30: attacks Babylon (11) using Babylonian 1594-891 BC with Hyksos 1590-1535 BC allies. kronenblatt defends using Luwian 1594-1180 BC.

=> dim30 draws with kronenblatt 61-60.
=> Both players' Initiative levels are reduced by 1.

From the rules

• A draw will reduce Initiative by 1 for both attacking and defending players.

• A win by the attacking player will gain him control over the attacked region.

• A loss by either player will reduce his Initiative by 1.

[kronenblatt]

Please declare (through posting in the tournament thread) your respective attacks (one each) on the next un-controlled region on your respective paths to Carchemish (1) (for Assyrians 6 Ninive, Babylonians 11 Babylon, Egyptians 8 Jerusalem, and Hittites 9 Iconium) by March 10 at the latest.

Note

• You cannot again use the minor factions that you've already used, whether as ally armies or defending armies. (For example, I cannot use any Hyksos or Luwian lists, rbodleyscott any Zagros or Luwian lists, dim30 any Mitanni or Hyksos lists, and Badger73 has exercised his option to not bring allies to an attack.)

• For ally armies, the selected minor faction's army list must overlap (at least partially, with 1 year at least) the time periods of the major faction's army list as well as the round.

Ah, so using your option of not bringing any allies this round?

Ah, so using your option of not bringing any allies this round?

Why would a Hitte Empire army need any allies? All men are our subjects.

(Though I must admit, if I had thought of it, I might have brought Sherden, but that would be extremely unhistorical for Hittites)

Ha ha! You're free to change, all up until everyone's declared attacks. (I just did myself, from Mitanni to Sherden.)

No, its seems a shame not to use a historical army. At least the Egyptians did make use of Sherden historically.

Hi, Andreas.

I think the Clash of Empires mod has a bug. I want to defend against your Egyptian 1276-1201 BC with Sherden 1278-1209 BC allies using Sea Peoples 1208-1176 BC. The mod won't let those Side A Egyptians keep Sherden allies when I select Sea Peoples as Side B. It erases those Sherden allies selected after I pick Sea Peoples. Alternatively, when I chose Side A as Sea Peoples 1208-1176 BC, it does not list Sherden 1278-1209 BC as an option for allies to Side B Egyptian 1276-1201 BC. Do you want to fix that or must I choose a different opposing army? Please advise. Thanks.

The Dread Lords of Ashur bow not to history's constraints! This is the only turn the Sherden are available. Use 'em or lose 'em methinks. I don't play to repeat historical mistakes, I play to make new mistakes instead . . . !

No bug.

Click DATE and CHRONOLOGICAL in order to not filter by date and geography, respectively.

In any event, please just post your defending army and then we'll wait for the other players (at least for dim30 to post his attack, and ideally all defenders as well) before setting up the actual games.
