Conquest of the Empire (6 Player - Advanced)

Today we finally got a game in with more than 4 players!  We played a late night session with 6 players (Wil, Nate, Ricky, John from Sanford, Myself and Brandon) and we tried out the new 'advanced rules' version rather than the 'classic' we have been playing for the last two years, and had a LOT of fun, I liked this version of the game much better than the 'classic' version. probably because it added a lot of elements to the game and felt 'new'.

Even with the alliance bidding, for the most part the game was Nate, Wil and myself against Brandon, Ricky and John. One turn I think in the beginning the order was different for one round that didn't really matter.

The hilight of this game session for me this time, was when it looked as though my army was making a march on Brandon's army and Nate was in a position to back me up. To help out Brandon Ricky and John both sent a bunch of support troops, but on my turn I surprised them by NOT attacking Brandon, rather I pressed forward and attacked John's army. My victory in John's capital forced him to retreat, however this was only a temporary setback for him as I had no way to remain there the next turn, so I fell back to my land.
