I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Move swordsmen through 23,7 (I'm having a bit of trouble with the math of the hexes so bear with me.) 22,8 21,9 20,10 21,10 and 22,9.

updating map.

I'm having a bit of trouble with the math of the hexes so bear with me.
Each hex (<X,Y>) has 6 neighbors: <X-1,Y-1>,<X-1,Y+1>,<X+1,Y-1>,<X+1,Y+1> (these are diagonal),<X,Y-2> and <X,Y+2> (these are vertical). The absolute difference is always 2.

Use swordsmen to capture the four nearby mountains.

Yeah, I think I figured it out but just in case I got the hexes wrong.

You did. I carried out your orders through <20,10> (which cost you 4 AP so far). the other 2 hexes don't exist, so tell me where to move next.
A good self check is: <X,Y> exists is X+Y is even.
Use swordsmen to capture the four nearby mountains.
I'm interpreting that as a sweeping motion with all 3 swordsmen, from <9,3> to <11,5> (12AP). tell me if you wanted something else.

Please move them through the two mountains to the right.

I should have 2 AP(3 in 4~ mins), unless my number error cost me an AP.

Nevermind, though you were kj. why do you have 2 AP?

Disembarking on a plain is 1AP, moving through 2 plains is 1x2=2 AP, moving through 2 forests is 2x2=4 AP, moving through a ruin is 3AP and harvesting is 1. that's 11, you had 10 at 10 GMT and have gained 3, 3rd of which 3 minutes ago or so (depending on typing speed). You now have 2AP, and had 1 at the moment of last tally.

the game has started
Of course it has. And I'm the last to wake up and see it.

Next time, might I ask that you start the game on the hour?

your turn contains errors, and you get to resend it without penalty (don't worry, It's my fault- I should probably switch to square grid next time).
So... you have 3 swordsmen, not 1 or 2. You also somehow lost a transport- seeing as how you didn't engage in battle I don't see how that would happen.
hexes <4,15> and <5,14> don't exist.
here are some relevant quotes:
Each hex (<X,Y>) has 6 neighbors: <X-1,Y-1>,<X-1,Y+1>,<X+1,Y-1>,<X+1,Y+1> (these are diagonal),<X,Y-2> and <X,Y+2> (these are vertical). The absolute difference is always 2.
(for <5,15>, your starting location, these would be <4,16> (this is where your fleet, and the 3 swordsmen loaded on it are), <4,14>, <6,14>,<6,16> ,<5,13> and <5,17> (these are all the forests))
A good self check is: <X,Y> exists is X+Y is even.
additionally, it costs the same amount of AP to move a stack of units of any size (only terrain matters). So, unless I misunderstand your intentions, moving that fleet will be much cheaper.
Assuming you think you controlled 3 forests and a mountain at the end there, harvesting was carried out correctly.

1. I suppose that was a bit confusing. That's supposed to mean one swordsman per ship.
It makes sense to me.

2. Forgot that transport.

3. Square grid or label all hexes.

4. Yay, more AP!

Same: Move to (7,11) [-1 AP]
Same: Move to (7,13) [-2 AP]
Transport 2, Transport 3, Swordsman 2, Swordsman 3, Barque: Move to...whatever tile is south [-1 AP]
Same: Move southeast [-1 AP]
Harvest [-1 AP]
