...but it was not so!!! The Alphan commander was very suspicious of what may lie off the coast considering the recent tragedies of the Dave Coast and Demos So after the, now exhausted, seige force had reduced the Japanese defences in Kyoto to the point of collapse and with a squadron of Knights ready to march into the city to finish of their Samurai remaining, the Alphan army decided to hold back. For the Grenadiers and Muskets were on their way north to assist.

The next turn the entire Alphan army marched into the city. Immediately, the very same soldiers who razed Dave Coast poured out of their galleons onto the shore and the battle commenced. Alphan knights attempted to weaken them before they could strike, especially to damage those nasty looking trebuchets. Alas, the trebuchets remained unhurt.

More defenders rushed in to sure up the defence. The Omegan force attacked, the trebuchets inflicted terrible damage (2 of the 3 surviving) and the Stormtroopers and the illiterate ones*  killed their opponents with no damage inflicted in return

* Edit: hmm, ok so you can't see it on the reduced size image, but suffice to say the "Fightin' Firteenth" won't be doing much fighting anymore

But the trap had already been laid ...and it was at that moment that the secret hidden force arrived at the coast to overrun the unsuspecting Omegan army. The Grenadier/Knight assault was an outstanding success, the Omegans had nothing left to give and revenge had been taken against these barbarians who would dare to deprive Dave of his holiday home retreat!

The great general Heinz Guderian was born during this battle and I suggest we use him to create a military academy in Palpa or Artypolis (building the Heroic Epic in the other) to help out our military production.

Our knights ruthlessly finished off the fleeing Omegan forces. During this route one General found a smouldering Omegan flag lying broken on the ground, stepping up onto the summit of the hill and holding the remains aloft he was clearly visible to the Omegan ships watching off the coast.

The entire Omegan invasion force has been destroyed, though at a cost, but the trap was set and Omega fell for it hook, line and sinker!!!

Now let us bask in the glory of this victory.

Hehe good point. I think I took over most recently on turn 139ish... oops we've broken the constitution. Quick fix time!

Edit: Also (details on the way) the Japanese war is over and we now own them!!
