TURN 126-130
Bogus turned up again a few turns back, but I finally moved a force against him on turn 126. I scored Precious, Greenstone Armor, and a Horror Helm.

On the south continent, the Wild Hunt took out a Harbinger from Ulm, and the Ivory Tower special site repelled an Ulm attack (this is the special site on the north coast of the south continent west of my big city there).

On the west continent, I am attacking through both passes toward the old Caelum capital, but it will take a few turns to actually get there. In the east half of the west continent, huge Man forces mass south of the river line; I give ground, retreating through the Fens, while harassing him with magic.

The seas are still in turmoil, with me holding most of them, but Man launching attacks from shore. On the east continent, Ulm continues through the desert, I prepare with summons (Summer Lions) and harass with magic. I want to suck him in one more desert province, so he’ll be in supply trouble no matter what happens.

(Later.) I have success on the west continent northwest. The Caelum capital (owned by Man) is under siege and I may have enough blocking forces south and east to keep the relief forces from Man out. I have taken most of the east coast of the west continent, though I doubt I can hold it. There is one major Man troop block threatening my river line in the center. However, I do feel very much in control of the situation on this continent. If I was not at war with Ulm, I think I would be close to wrapping up Man now.

On the east continent in the desert, Ulm and I are still fighting over my forward defense line. Ulm has taken the easternmost Mountain province near my desert fort, but with luck, next turn I should bag his lot there. However, Ulm has at least twice as many troops approaching. The question is whether I can grind them up faster than Ulm can throw them at me.

And the Manticore has been Feebleminded for the second time this game! Wah!

I remember too late it’s been awhile since last score report (maybe next time).
