You've been moved until your western border became your eastern border.
EDIT: According to the victory conditions, I'm ahead of you right now. And unlike the Saxon, I've had to earn it.
Originally posted by no1marauderYet again, the question remains unanswered. You're going to be great in politics.
Yes, I'll tell you exactly what my moves are going to be. Better yet, I'll e-mail you my turnfile.
I left Istria wide open for two turns before the Bavarian could work up enough nerve to come in. I re-took Frulia with a single militia on Turn 10 and he was afraid to attack it last turn. My boys are coming back from overrunning Arles; it takes a ...[text shortened]... don't rely on tricks or stand there while our allies do all the fighting; we're not Saxons.
Originally posted by no1marauderThere's no more Mad Duke of Arles left to smack around for easy plunder anywhere near you...and now you're allied so you can't smack him around any more. Arles is an advantage to the side that doesn't have him, it seems. Now you need to fight with the big boys. So far your track record against us hasn't been too hot.

Originally posted by no1marauderOnce again, you seek to change the direction of the original inquiry and continue to avoid it. It had to do with your comments about "honest" fights,
No shit Sherlock the question remains unanswered. How about this question: when, if ever, are you going to do some of the actual fighting against the Danes?
Originally posted by buffalobillJust because someone is inside their territory protecting themselves it doesn't mean that they are not fighting an honest fight. The Saxon troops have been in their ally's province, but not actually fighting.

Originally posted by Freddie2006Excuse me, Saxony suffered significant losses in Swabia this turn. Just a lot less than the enemy.

Originally posted by no1marauderExcuse? It's a valid military reason. One which you appear to feel you are the only one to have access to or knowledge of. My net loss was 3 gold - no big deal. Compare that to the cost of the troops that would have fruitlessly gone down, then lecture me on tactics.
I read your excuse. But the fact remains that Arles is in possession of a province you owned. So scroll up, jerk, to ATY's comments.
