I think so, too. And it's difficult to anticipate all the consequences of my following turn.
It's the first part of my turn 7:
Bess606 - 768 5P
Ess768 - 127 5P
S127 x S126 1P
Recapture?
I would like to discuss some effects of Grand Conquest rules and pieces in comparison with the rules of Conquest which you know, too, at the end of our match..
Kind regards

Very well done! Somehow I thought you would take one castle space, I missed the 2nd one LOL.You take a serious option for the win now! Nevertheless, this game is very instructive for me, It made me figure out the 2 players board, and the importance of defending the back castle properly, something less of a problem in the 4 board game because of the central quest. I was too concentrated on offense, should do better on the next one, but it is not finished yet, still some little hope LOL and more learning to come for me for sure ...
Here is my Turn 8:
Es123 x E133 = 3
Es133-131 = 1
N110 - A30 = 4
B714 -713 =1
Gk524-715 =3
I suppose that the following two or three turns will reveal whether my attack was a good strategy or not. And of course you will teach me the 4P game! We are bolstering each other
It is the 1st time I play by email, so this gives us more time to study the board and options, very interesting. I am afraid my 4P game strategy is very limited, because in the games I played, we make many errors, some of it due to time. Also I find 4P is more rapid exchange of material because everyone is closer and also want to protect the quest ... Both 2P and 4P are interesting. I feel fortunate to have discovered a strong player like you to play with and learn from.
I'm looking forward to testing the 4P Grand Conquest board with you and maybe a little bit later with two further players... Indeed "playing by email" is a good way to avoid faults due to the lack of time and to study the wide range of options this game is offering.
I want to encourage you to accomplish your ideas on this site. For example: If you think that you are able to produce a better Grand Conquest tool or something else of interest than you could do it on this site. I don't expect it but you could do it if you want...
this former thread viewtopic.php?f=3&t=57 concerning catapult shots might be interesting. The map seems to be ambiguous and the players unfortunately have to eliminate possible misunderstandings in advance. I try to answer your question tomorrow.
Kind regards
Klaus
