Both armies stood facing each other on their respective high grounds, Assyrian with their chariots waiting on the left wing, and more hidden behind hills. With the Assyrian archers and the bows of the chariots it was always going to be difficult for the Zagaros defenders to close the distance with their enemies. GG!

[kronenblatt]

Please declare (through posting in the tournament thread) your respective attacks (one each) in round 2 ASAP, but no later than April 10.

Example on how to express attack declarations (assuming second round 1390-1150 BC):
kronenblatt attacks using Egyptian 1200-1150 BC with Greek 1179-681 BC allies.

Please keep the following in mind for your respective attacks:

• Players can announce attacks without having to wait for each other and without any particular order.

• Attacking players are not affected or limited by each other's choices.

• Main army
  • A player uses major factions and their army lists of his own choice as the main army, subject to however that he cannot select the same major faction:
    • in two consecutive rounds (i.e., not the same major faction as in the first round), and
    • more than twice over the course of full seven rounds.
  • The selected major faction's army list must overlap (at least partially, with 1 year at least) the time period of the round in question.

• Ally army
  • A player must use an available minor faction as allies, but may in maximum one attack elect to not use any allies at all.
  • A minor faction can be selected only once by a player (i.e., either as an ally army or as a defending army) during the course of the tournament.
  • The selected minor faction's army list must overlap (at least partially, with 1 year at least) the time period of the major faction's army list as well as the time period of the round.
