I love the way that the two sides are spinning the current situation - here are some selected comments from the emails posted in HRE's thread ...
some worry comments from various elements of CoW in response to the broadcast Sullla email containing their 'losses'
Sullla / India Wrote:We did not fold like a deck of cards, and this war is by no means decided yet. I don't know if your "allies" have told you this yet, but the Jowy and Kathlete main stack was eliminated this turn, with extremely light casualties on our side, 4:1 in our favor. Maybe they'll be back later with more units, but they are effectively out of the war now. Dantski is running around with a bunch of axes deep in our territory, but they have zero chance to capture any of our core cities. Once our units finish healing, that stack is dead meat as well.

Praetorians' landing next to Fred!
Nakor of HRE Wrote:I think we do have a chance to do some real damage after all, although we need the Preats.

Jowy Wrote:Everything is still going according to the plan When the game was unpaused we suffered an attack by India's main stack (their only stack). I haven't talked to Ottomans yet, but personally I won 3 battles (3 HA's) and lost 8 (mostly Phalanx). Earlier I lost 4 more units (phalanx) and beat 3 (2 ha's, 1 axe). So for me it's 6 units killed, 12 lost, though their HA's were of course more expensive than my units. For Ottomans it's probably around 50:50. We've still got some troops around, we should join them up with Dantski's. We've accomplished our goal of disconnecting their horses, pillaging all tiles on our way and even destroying their troops at a good rate.
Ottomans Wrote:Jowy's words do the CoW a great service. We did suffer a defeat yet it was to be expected. We have disconnected their horse and with Mali's help soon have the copper disconnected. From that point on we should be able to easily out produce them.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.
