BREAKING NEWS!!!
Rome has plunged the world into war with a DOW against DT. This triggers the Defensive Pact so that we must DOW Rome in return, as must DMOC/Teddy. Here are pictures that DT sent us at the end of last turn (T127), before Rome actually attacked:
That is 27 praets, 10 axes and 6 chariots that can hit the city of Nottingham on T129. They also have 3 chariots that can hit Chelsea on the first turn of war, which are backed up by a praet and 2 axes.
So here is what happened:
This is what Rome has on our side of things:
And what we have to attack with:
Plus a few other axes / spears sprinkled about. We definitely don't have enough to threaten Arretium, maybe a total of some 10 axes and a few spears. However, Construction has arrived, and we can start pumping out the cats. If I were behind the wheel, I would probably focus everything now on getting cats and more axes to this southern front. EggHeads will be responsible for attacking Rome's northern city of Antium, and maybe even sending in a couple galleys to threaten their sole source of iron at Ravenna. The quicker we can end Rome's game, the faster we can turn our attention to our real prize, BowAivo to the west.
Let's see how Caledorn plays this one out.
