Four-Player Empire: Turn Three (330-320 BC)

Situation in 330 BC

The revolt phase sees two 6s thrown, meaning more woe for Andy as Thracia throws off Macedonian rule.

Since the Macedonians go first as this is the second of the two turns in which they have Alexander the Great, Thracia is immediately reconquered, followed by Syria, AEGYPTUS, Mesopotamia and Persia (but remember this province is not the Persians homeland; rather Parthia is).

The Persians are drawn first, and they attack the province of Persia, but roll 2.

I am drawn next, and launch a third attempt to conquer Sicilia, but it fails on a naval-crossing roll of 1.

Richard, seeking to consolidate ITALIA on a roll of less than the turn number of three, throws a 4.

The west remains quiet, while it seems the Persians will survive the Macedonian onslaught
