Turn 121
I think Azza's advance has been delayed a turn by the culture to the east of Forest Green. He's got a small raiding party heading towards Ipswich which I might use horse archers on next turn. I've put extra spears in Ipswich because of the Keshiks healing up in de_tuscan.
I'm fortifying everything that gets a fortify bonus in Barnet at the moment, and I'm putting cats and horse archers on the hill 2n of Barnet, where Azza can't see them. I presume he'll advance along the blue arrow. I also presume there is no point trying to cat his stack for collateral since he still has far more cats than anything else. Actually I've got one cat with barrage II, so I might as well use it. I think I'll end up moving the rest into Barnet at the last minute to try and soak up collateral.
In the vicinity I have
9 Catapults
5 Horse Archers
4 Maces
2 crossbows
3 pikes
6 axes
2 spears
and a medic III scout.
There are still more units to arrive - before he hits I think I'll have another
4 cats
5 Horse Archers
2 mace
2 crossbow
3 axes
3 spears
I think two or three of the axes will become maces.
Miraculously Azza didn't pillage my silver. Meaning Grimsby and Barnet don't suffer 2 unhappy! From now on if he does I can cancel the silver I gifted to Serdoa.
On the other coast Azza has built a trireme, so Grimsby retaliates with a trireme of its own. This is my ocean Azza - back off!
I can't see me scoring the same hit I did defending against Serdoa at the moment. If anyone has any bright ideas let me know... And if anyone wants to lay odds go ahead.
