Re: road - only if the jungles E and SE of Hastings are chopped - otherwise he could get onto defensive terrain before our zone defence stack could hit him, and then we'd be forced to take his collateral at Hastings.
A bowman there could be worthwhile in a little while if we're stretched too thin right now. I'm more concerned about getting borders or a galley in position at Jamestown so we can see that gems tile. What units will be available to defend Koniggratz?
I sincerely hope it's not horse archers we're soon to be facing. We're not prepared for that, forcing me to repeat my motto, "suttree delenda est."
Thanks for the encouragement about making comments.
