ooc: Then I shall face the Nubian alone, doesn't it?

[Lucius Malfoy]

Okay guys I made an OOC thread for a reason...

Anyways I adjusted what you pointed out, Oz. Forgot I did that.

As for facing him alone, we shall have to see. The Pharaoh is very distrustful towards Pericles. Remember though, you have phalanx troops they don't. Utilize them. I have faced worse situations in The Roman Struggle. Sometimes outnumber by 10,000 if not 20,000 men, but still managed to score a victory by utilizing the advantages of my troops (with some unorthodox tactics). In one battle, I had my guy piss on the standard on Jugurtha and that forced an early charge which disorganized the Numidian's formation. I used that tactic twice and it worked.

Just utilize those phalanx the best way you can.

I was used to GoT and I forgot it.

Don't worry, I'm reading Alexander at Hydaspes and Scipio at Zama. And I'll deploy my phalanxes the best I'm able to. Shall I post orders?

[Lucius Malfoy]

Once the army is on the move and if your scouts can find the rebels, yes.

[The Wandering Storyteller]

May I post mine here? I set the time for it....not sure.

Just don't want to make mistakes.

Well not exactly sure why you would. This is a revolt involving the Egyptian powers after all.

Btw, Oz, an update, we are working on your requests.

Edit: A system has been proposed that will also benefit assassination plots and what not. So give us a little time, we haven't forgotten about you.

[Oznerol]

Marshall offered me support in exchange of my friendship.

And don't worry LM, I just want to finish the affair before this Friday, because then the Nubian issue would be worse and with more negative effects (doesn't it?), and I want to finish this earlier.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Oh since this has been delayed, it won't get worse. I will be fair about that.

Be aware though that Marshall's forces are far away. He would need permission to move through Syria's domains in order to get to you.

[Pericles of Athens]

Oh since this has been delayed, it won't get worse. I will be fair about that.

To be fair Oz does have plenty of extra troops (from Marshall) thanks to the delay, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to give the Nubians a buff.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Well Marshall still needs to negotiate with Barry in order to move through. So who knows how long that will take (16+ hours). Plus he can only send 4,000 troops, not his entire army. His levies, if they left his kingdom, would get a -2 battle roll. Plus he needs to watch his borders. So in reality, 25,000 men compared to 30,000 Nubian troops. So he is still at a disadvantage in numbers, just really depends on the rolls.

[The Wandering Storyteller]

However, if I may intervene at this point, I have signed an treaty with the Paremenids so that means no trouble for now in the borders.

So it will be possible for me to bring more troops at this point.

It will still however, depend on the fact whether Goldwater's will allow me access.

[Pericles of Athens]

How long is Oz going to get to rally the whole Hellenic world against Egypt?

[Lucius Malfoy]

He only gets the army from Marshall, if it arrives on time.

We do have a system that could be used for Oz's rolls (however its still being discussed about), so at this point, I just need to get this rolling.

[Pericles of Athens]

According to the movement thread Marshall, Stannis, and HB have all sent forces (that were only just ordered to move today) to kick the stuffing out of the Nubians and after them Imhotep.

Fair enough, I thought the delay was just arbitrary but if there's an actual reason behind it I'm content with that knowledge.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Well Oz presented some request, but we had no means of...doing them. We have a system being made, but its still under discussion. And I don't want either of you to be delayed any further. So, we will have the Nubian army march North and see where it goes from there.

[Oznerol]

If the assassination rolls cannot be done don't trouble yourself more LM! I don't want to put more burden onto the mods' shoulders. Could however we try it by rp? Anyway I had the battle orders ready for maybe a full week.

Marshall arrived this early morning to Memphis and has been there for a now long time. I don't know about HB's and Stannis' troops however. Stannis should arrive soon too, and HB should be there me thinks.

And I request help from whoever I want to. Someone should remember that being a Macedonian and former follower of Alexander I have certain connections. Also I rpyed properly the requests, the alliances and all that stuff, not did something unexpected or dubious...
