SO is that the one of those 1000 ruses?

Germany is fed up with Greek aggression against its neighbours!

Latest news!
Today Germany, Babylon and the Ottoman empire declared war on Greece
after another violation of the Greeks against their neighbours, this
time the so called 'wonder-rich' Carthaginians.

German generals saw a flaw in the Greek supply lines and sent a few
herioc cavalry's to destroy some Greeks (2 art, 2 inf) and to pillage
the rails toward the main Greek forces!

In other words, I'm an idiot and I wasn't thinking clearly.

[Plux]

Kick ass!! :D

[jack merchant]

The cowardly Germans and their loathsome allies did not dare attack the stack, and it has safely returned home. Numerous Babylonian and Carthaginian units have been shot to pieces, the Krauts themselves so far being too pathetic to attack.

[ERIKK]

That is not emtirely true, at the moment the Greeks are being
surrounded by coalition forces...

In the mean time other brave German troops are entertaining themselfs
with blowing the Greek improvements to pieces!

War News
After 5 turns of battle the Greeks were forced to sign peace with
Babylon and Carthago. One turn later they signed peace with the
Ottoman empire too! Strangly, they refused to sign peace with the
German empire (actaully 'Reich', but I hate that term)... Therefore
German troops will remain on their stations near the Greek border,
safely within our 'fiends' territory.

The Germans have given a honourary award to the Ottoman general who
wisely burned his 25 Shipai which he had in reserve [thumbsup]

turn 255

After 20 turns of herioc battles, with German troops invading Greek territory again (after the
second Greek attack on Babylon, which happened after some turns of skirmishes along the Greek
and Carthignian borders), some large battles have happened. These battles were fought with 100
arties and about 100 inf/cav on both sides. The result was that the Germans lost some 50
infantry and the Greeks about 15 cavs and a few infantry. Large German loses but the Greeks
were halted with their invasion in Babylon. Also the Germans are able to carry these loses. But
now we are closing the age of the... PANZERS!!!!

The 3 dots represent the 3 main battles were all the Germans were bombed to 1hp and then raided
by Greek cavs! The Germans focused on drawing the Greeks to the south instead of the Babs cities
up north...

[jack merchant]

A diversion then, and a costly one. It didn't accomplish much though, as the evil followers of Hammurabi soon found themselves chased out of their peninsula:

At the same time, in turn 257 the Greeks signed peace with the Ottomans, and with the Carthaginians in turn 258.

turn 263

After the shock of having those damn Greeks running over the nothern
Bab cities the Germans decided to throw in their panzers. This time the
unreliable Ottomans were the target. In 6 turns they whiped out the
Ottomans due to the sheer (panzer) production capacity in mobilization
and Golden Age!

Turn 264

[u]The Third Battle for Carthage</u>

After investigating the Greek forces along the frontline the Germans
decided to take out the Greek forces forces in Hippo and Theveste
and the troops on II (small) and I (approx 50 units, about 30 art, 15
inf and 7 tanks). We place or arty out of reach of the hugh stack on
the mountain (III, some armies, lots of infs) who are immobile. The
tanks in IV (small) seem a nice target too...

pre war stats:
Germany: 003 cav, 105 inf, 129 arty, 043 tanks, 000 armies
Greece : 025 cav, 080 inf, 113 arty, 033 tanks, 003 armies

- move my arties in reach of I and out of reach of III
- bomb all units from I to 1 hp
- destroy the approx 30 Greek units and lose 4 tanks and 1 cav and
capture the arty's and workers
- unsuccesfully bomb the tank (to 2hp) in Hippo (approx 10 times)
- take and raze Hippo, kill 1 tanks, 0 loses
- move my remaining arties west of Oea (Babylonian) and bomb the
units in II
- destroy II and its workers, kill 6 inf, no loses
- move my remaining arty's west of Teveste and bomb IV (the tanks)
- capture and raze Theveste, kill 1 tank, no loses
- destroy IV, kill 4 tanks, no loses
- retreat wounded tanks, cavs and remaing arties + tanks from the
frontline

(I am [u]edit: NOT</u> totally certain about the loses but you can count them out with
the stats.)

after war stats:
Greece: 025 cav, 064 inf, 86 arty, 020 tanks, 003 armies

ps:
On the mountain there are Greek tanks and lots of cavs, infs and arty's.
On the hill with the Greek inf army there are arty's, wounded tanks and a bunch of infs.

It is now Jacks turn to strike at us:
- he can attack my nothern forces (the arty stack, only with his cavs form the mountain,
exposing them to us).
- he can attack the eastern forces (the arty stack, only with his cavs form the mountain,
exposing them to us).
- he can attack the southwestern stack (with the tanks and cavs he has in reserve, he can also
bomb that stack by the way. If he does this he can retake his arty's but will expose his tanks
and recaptured arty's).

Recounting: in the turn I killed 16 inf, 13 tanks, about 10 workers
and captured 27 arty's. [hammer]

turn 274:

This game is moving very slowly, like 3 days per turn these days.
Jack isn't much around anymore so I guessed he was bussy. I wasn't
really paying much attention anymore on this game... But now I know
why he took such a low profile ;)!!! Suddenly he has mech infantries
and attacked! [eek]

start of my turn:

I was about to press 'end turned' when I scrolled a bit around the map
when I saw this just in time! (earlier I wondered why I made so much
money less this turn (but I dont know why![confused]))

I investigated Nora and after bombing Carthage and saw that the towns
were stacked with troops so I decided to take the units in the open
fields first.

But then I located the army with tanks and infs and 44 arties:

So that became the primary target!

After mopping up:

I isolated the forces in Carthage and *hope* he will not be able to
reinforce Carthage with infantries and arty's. Also I tried to
minimize his opportunities to attack my forces in the open field.

Loses:
Germany lost 10 tanks and captured 44 arties and got a leader
Greece
Lost 5 cavs, 15 infs, 34 tanks and 44 arties, 2 armies
Greece captured lots of wonders including the Pyramids and SunTzu.

Wow! Looks like this is a painful war of attrition...

What are your relative army strengths? Who has built the Inteligence Agency? UPDATE YOUR SPOILERS PLEASE!
