Empire 3: Turn Three (330-320 BC)

Situation in 330 BC

The revolt dice (1-2) strike a blow against the rampaging Macedonians as AEGYPTUS regains its independence.

This is the second turn in which the Alexander the Great leads the Macedonians. Rather than reconquer AEGYPTUS, they first capture Mesopotamia, Armenia (just, as a 2 is rolled, but that is enough thanks to the great captain's +2 modifier) and Persia, but come unstuck by rolling 1 when invading my homeland of Parthia. However a second attack on Parthia succeeds.

Andy's Romans are up next and he easily grabs Magna Graecia with a 6.

Richard's Carthaginians are almost equally impressive, rolling a 5 to reconquer IBERIA.

Reduced to one province, Bactria, I try to regain my homeland by fermenting rebellion, which requires a 6, but I roll 3.

The Macedonians have all-but-eliminated the Persians, and can expect to pick up AEGYPTUS a long time before the first additional victory points are awarded at the end of turn 10
