Broken Crescent Hotseat: Commanders of the Faithful

[rossahh]

The Ferrets are off to Germany for a bit, so you may need to find a sub for him phonicsmonkey.

[phonicsmonkey]

thanks rossahh!...nice of him to tell us

I'll sub the Ghorids myself later...

[phonicsmonkey]

Your armies are impressive, but I'd recruit some more to your east if I were you...

you don't scare me! you're a busted flush pizzaturk!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Busted flush?

Is that like... a broken toilet?
Would you kindly speak American? I don't speak Aussie.

[phonicsmonkey]

Clearly you're no more a poker player than I am an Australian..

[Askthepizzaguy]

well I have no idea where you're from, but I never heard that term before, and I have played some poker. Maybe that's for guys who actually care about winning poker and bet real money.

[phonicsmonkey]

Busted flush = four cards the same suit, fifth card different suit (a useless hand)

In the game you would use the term either to describe your hand afterwards, or to taunt someone that you suspect is going for a flush on the last draw card and has been betting on that basis.

Used colloquially (this from UsingEnglish.com) it means you are 'someone or something that had great potential but ended up a useless failure'

[Askthepizzaguy]

I resemble that remark.

[phonicsmonkey]

rajputs are up

[Banzai Kamikaze]

Sorry, couldn't get to it during weekend.

I'll have time I hope tomorrow evening. If not, I'll have flax sub for me yet again.

[TheFlax]

Sorry about that, I was also away.

The Shah is up!

[Banzai Kamikaze]

Very sorry about the waiting...

Hospital work swallowed all my free time recently, and I was away from my PC this weekend.

[00jebus]

Im sorry about the wait too, I was expecting Zim to finish me off last turn.

Bad Zim!



ok, so who's subbing for ATPG? Ramses?

[Ramses II CP]

If he gives his permission I can have it done tomorrow.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sorry folks, I have to withdraw from the game.

See explanation on the BC2 game thread.

I was soooo hoping to thwart Rossahh's invasion AND send massive help to the hindus.

I hereby bequeath all my money to the Hindus, and all my provinces, to the Eastern Roman Empire. I will need to leave one province remaining, so whichever one is closest to Rossahh's invasion forces.

And also, be sure to destroy all the buildings I had in that province and give the money to the hindus.
Disband all forces besides my generals.

[phonicsmonkey]

ATPG, I think I have one final idea for you - see the pm I just sent you and let us know whether you are willing to give it a try and stay in the game

Ramses, can you pls sub the turn for ATPG so the game can continue? I suggest you wait a turn before following his surrender instructions, in case he wants to try my idea and stay in the game

[Ramses II CP]

I'll have this one subbed either later tonight or tomorrow early-ish. Shouldn't be much trouble to do it either way if I get instructions soon-ish.

[Ramses II CP]

Just need to collect the PW and I'll pop this out in no time.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sorry for the delay everyone. I had assumed PM had pm'ed Ramses with my password.
You know what they say about people who assume, they make Jack a dull boy.

Okay, Oman is up:

I don't know how ATPG would want to address this in the Council thread, so I'll post the info here and let him decide. Vakha was retaken by the Turks, but that town north of there was lost and occupied by the KoJ. Prince Jean and Raynald de Chatillon were killed, and Balain's army was mostly wiped out, but Balain and the new prince, whatever his name is, just would not die (And of course the 2nd army's veteran infantry would not rout, only about half of them are dead) so the battle also cost the life of the Sultan and two of his other generals, and almost all of his army. It was a fun sub, sorry it took so long.

[Askthepizzaguy]

As long as the Latin forces tasted good Turkish steel and were humilated by lesser forces, I can die a happy Sultan.

Sorry, no easy victory for Baldwin... not with the legendary Ramses at the helm!


Bow before his genius. Bow, I said!

[Ramses II CP]

The battle was a draw rather than a victory for either side, ~2500 dead KoJ and ~1400 dead Turks, but considering that losses acount for about 70% of the total Turkish nation's army including 3 family members and the nearby city is now ungarrisoned, though the tiny remains of the army may retreat there, it was a strategic victory for the KoJ. Don't toot my horn too hard, if the enemy hadn't been parked on a river crossing with virtually no ranged troops it wouldn't have even gone that well.

[deguerra]

will do this tonight

LOL

It doesn't matter. There was no way the Turks could defeat the Latins, but, scoring that much in damage against those invaders is very impressive.
