DC189 Autumn 854
GM's Comment: Over 8 hours ago, I noticed I had the Frisian retreat and though to myself.. great I can get that adjudication out now. 8 hours later I remembered. Why is the memory the first to go? Also a number of players are starting to write to me about guesses for other players in the game. Please continue to do so as I find it most entertaining - GM

1) 21 hours have passed (5pm, Friday) (note 5pm is a good time for me)
and
2) I have both the Britons and Norse Builds.

Spring 855 deadline will be due Tuesday 12th August, 5pm Australian EST.
PRESS
Frisians, great work playing defense in an impossible spot.
Britons, I'll support you vs Ker sooner or later – we're not yet in a
position where we can telegraph our moves to the Irish. If the
disband makes things obvious, I'll proceed accordingly. I'm sure
you're keeping in mind that the Scots may move to GAL.
Picts, I have encouraged others to help you earlier in the game, and
may be able to help you now. If you can, order Lot-Arg from now on.
I'll support you if possible.
Irish, in any given turn in which Arm is threatened by two Scots and I
can provide support, I will. Unless you disband it, of course.
Angles, I don't think I'll need your help to push the Scots army back
north. And you do need to focus on shipbuilding!
Saxons, I can't involve myself in your war with the Angles, on either
side. You know: the Scots.
Scots, you're my heroes.
-<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com ffice:smarttags" />Wales
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
Britons: Let's play it cool and divide the Saxon spoils. No need to be in conflict here.
Wales: I'll look to support your POW-CHE if I can, it depends on what the Saxons do with STA. Though I don't think you'll need it.
- Angles
Danes to Norse : I am happy to abide by our deal. My thanks for maintaining a peaceful border. I would like to take part in a joint expedition to the big island with you and the Britons, but I will need a sea lane to do so. Not sure how to do this other than passing through Dogger- you ideas would be much welcomed.
Danes to Britons: thanks for the aid against the Frisians, I am happy to eliminate him and leave that as our common border. Hol and Rhe for you suits me fine. My last orders may have looked a bit odd: I wrote them as preliminaries before the Spring outturn, as I was out of internet access for a while otherwise A Low would have had an order to help you. I would like to help in the invasion of the big island: thoughts welcomed.
Danes to Frisians: good luck in your next game.
Britons speak,
To Danes,
I did not want to raise that third army but not knowing if Bur was going to be removed or not, I had to play it safe.
To Welsh
We appriciate the offer of Ker and will offer any possible aid in helping you take Dub as a token of gratitude.
To Saxons,
It seems you are stabalizing, excellent work! I'll throw you some support with Str or just support myself a bit. The only slight problem is that you don't have any real route to expand into, but hey, you are alive - that's more than you could have hoped for, given the intial onslaught.
To Angles,
Are you going to work with Wales in fending off the scots?

PRESS
Britons speak,
To Welsh,
Aye, Gal is a potential issue. I attacked Cel since Scots could force Gal anyhow, better to try to take the build. I will send some more fleets that way, looks like they will be needed. I take it that would be acceptable?
To Angles,
I do not desire conflict with the Saxons right now, I think the Scots are much more of a concern. Thus, I'm throwing him some defensive support, but I will also not move in your direction. I think that you can safely focus northwards, since Saxons knows that we could take him out in an instant if we wished. However, I belive that is undesirable at the moment...and I did give my word that I would help him. If this is unaceptable, let me know, since I do not desire you as an enemy.
To Saxons,
Hope the support helps a bit. As stated, your role in this game is a bit unclear right now...perhaps you are content with surviving to make it to the final 7?
To Danes,
I concur on the Dog idea, that's why I issued the support. My line of thinking here is that Dog might be needed in Ger; and that you want a route to the island itself. Also, I moved to block Frisians this season, it's not my intention to move that last army to the east at all. I hope Rhe/Hol continuing to support each other for the rest of the game will be acceptable. I would also accept if you put a unit in Low to give Dre the same saftey; preferably a fleet since it does the job just as well as an army but does not increase tension.
To Norse,
Please, do not see my support of Danes to Dog as an hostile action; it's merly a support that might benefit you both, and I belive Ger is more important to you now with the Scots going on a rampage.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
Angles, I hope you can get an army into Dur in the process of setting sail.
Britons, the obvious move for the Irish this turn was to cut my
support. Let's see how it looks in the fall.
Irish, I still intend to support Arm if I can't take it and the Scots can.
Picts, let me know if you're interested in moving against the Scots.
-<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Wales
Wales: I had to build an army to strengthen my self against the Saxons. But also I'll look to eventually replace my F Dur with my new army and thus free up my fleet. And heading up the peninsula with an army is much preferred. I'll look to support your move to Lan if that looks like the best bet in the Fall.
- Angles
Danes to Norse: I need to secure Dogger to get to the big island. I will not stay in Ska longer than strictly necessary.
Danes to Britons: The Frisians should be done with this year, and I would like to co-operate with you on the big island, as soon as I can get there.
Saxons to Angles: Seriously? Did you really just f#$% me like that? Are you crazy? Do you really think that you can hold off others by finishing me? And, better yet, do you really think that you can finish me quick enough?
Saxons to Welsh: Understood but can you really trust the Angles after that BS? I only agreed to a cease-fire because I was relying on him to stay true based on your complicity in the agreement.
Saxons to Britons: Let's take Tha for you. Once that happens Anglia is in trouble. If you don't get it this turn, I will support Str-Tha in the Fall.
Norse press.... to Picts... If Scots persist in attacking me then I will cease attacking you and leave you with LOT and even support you in taking JUT. to Scots. See above. But if you go back west then I will stay east and not come at your SCs. to Danes.... Hope we are fine and this sets us up for future cooperation.
to all: if the vote does not pass then lets get rid of the small ones till we have our 7 and then we can fight for position.

Frisians: Remove Army Burgundy
Irish: Remove One

GM Comment: Now - As players are eliminated, I am going to announce who they are. The eliminated players will get one chance to submit press (at their winter deadline) but after that winter, no press or comments will be accepted by the them until end of game.
Our First elimination and in 10th place, playing the Frisians was Derek Eyler. Derek was ranked 28th in the 2008 DCI rankings and was the 'first' of our substitute players chosen for the game.
Derek was selected to play as one of the top 6 ranked (and eligble players) was unable to play this year. Unfortunately Derek will not progress to the second round of the DCI unless 3 players are unable to continue. Derek finishes on 1 point. Thanks for playing Derek- GM
PRESS
Britons speak,
To Welsh,
I think we are proceeding smoothly here. Frisians out, Picts to go and Saxons to follow?
To Saxons,
I'm sorry for this, but I could no longer support your dying cause. You have my respect for a spirited defense.
To Angles,
I'll let you take Sus; proposing dmz of Tha and possibly Str as well. Let me know.
To Danes,
Hope support this season proves more adequate.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
I assume this is my last turn, good game and good luck to all. (Except the Danes and Brits...)
Saxons to Britons: I am content to survive to final 7 and to fight another day and I am VERY willing to provide aid to the one who keeps me alive to that end. I personally don't like the concept of a 'gunboat' game that actually allows PRESS; Gunboat is meant to be a true guessing game where intent is inferred/guessed at based on mutual movements.
Saxons to Angles: Is this really necessary and productive?
Saxons to All: for the record, I did vote and will continue to vote for any draw that I get included in. Hell, if you eliminate others and let me be in the 7 I will vote for anything that doesn't include me.
Picts, I'll continue to support when possible. Feel free to make
suggestions to me and the Angles.
Britons, one fleet in either ENG or CEL, en route to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Ireland, is fine.
Two is too many. Let's discuss whether I need your help or not in
the winter press.
Angles, very impressive moves! If a new fleet doesn't convince the
Danes to head north instead of west, then nothing will.
Saxons, we're all realists, but I won't knock you out of the Top Seven.
-Wales
Danes/Norse: Didn't think I'd take Dog. I'm heading back home. Peace!
Britons: Hopefully you are in Wig. If you have any ideas about coordination let me know this winter. I'm all ears.
Danes: Would you like to coordinate anything?
- Angles
A bit of help with these cheeky Scotts would be nice.
Continentals: The islanders seem to want to hold us off so they are the 7, lets makes sure we are.
Norse press... to Danes. Hope we are bashing these Angles back to where they belong. I will support you in down south if you tell me what to support. to Scots... Far better things for you to do down the west not the east and if you continue against me then I will encourage others to move against you. to Picts. Since Scots push I will give you support against him if you move on him.
Danes to Britons and Norse
Obviously I got the Dogger moves wrong - hopefully this turn worked out. Stupid of me.

PRESS:
Saxons to All: I will go ahead and do my EGS now since it seems to be a given that I will be next out. Thanks to Stephen for running this game for us.
My EGS is simple I fear: I was not aware that a 'gunboat' style game allowed press and thus essentially diplomacy. I was quite irritated by that because I did not realize it and feel like it cost me early in the game because I didn't diplome with others via press. My early moves that ultimately cost me the game were made under the assumption that press did not exist and I needed to show a willingness to work with neighbors. Thus I did not cause early bounces to try and show that I didn't want to fight; however, I did no press and my moves were essentially wasted and only served to put me at the mercy of both the Welsh and the Angles for the entire game. I applaud the Angles for their stab when I thought we had finally reached an accord; however, I don't particularly think that it required any skill and, in my opinion, this game doesn't serve as a true representation of diplomacy skills. Don't take that as sour grapes, just an opinion. I am still honored to have been selected to play and I am quite thankful for the opportunity. As with all things, this proved an interesting learning experience. All the best to the final 7. I will watch that game with much interest.
Norse: As you can see, I'm completely and unilaterally backing off our
shared border as requested. Hoping you will follow through with your
pledge to not press the attack against me if I pull back.
-Scots
Britons Speak,
To Welsh,
I did not issue support since it was not needed. Proceeding accordingly to taking on Scots. I understand if you want to support the Irish, and he might make it if Picts and Saxons are wiped out prior. For the record, I think Saxons deserve it more to be in the final 7.
To Angles,
Deal, Str dmz it is. Letting Saxons live?
To Saxons,
I still hope you'll pull through.
To Norse/Danes,
Kill the Picts - and try to avoid fighting amongst yourselves. Then you'll both be in the final 7.
Picts, I wasted what would have been a successful support last turn. Let me know if you're still interested in cooperating.
Irish, I'll be taking Dub this turn. The pledge to try to keep you in the game holds.
Britons, we're on track so far.
Angles, I am open to dislodging you in 857, if I have the armies in place. A legal alternative is for you to support one of my armies against one of yours. I could do this in the fall, if you are giving me Sus. If you take Bor, please support Cum-Ayr (even if I have a fleet in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Ayr). If you feel the need to support Lot instead, I understand.
-Wales
Wales: I do recall Sus being designated to you so no problem there. I think I am in much greater need than you, but I'll honor the commitment. I moved A Mid - Sus in hopes that you will order Wil - Sus in the Fall which I will support from Lon/Mid. Then I can disband and build a fleet. Make sense? If we bumped in Sus, oh well, you can take Sus in the Fall. I am hoping your convoying that new army over to Ireland. Hopefully we didn't bump in Bor either. I think your army belongs in Ayr and mine in Bor. Perhaps Lot can be mine since you are getting Sus? Let me know.
Britons: Str seems to be a great DMZ with no risk to you, but since there's nothing I can do about it... I agree!
Danes: Talk to me! Peace!
- Angles
Danes to Norse: continued good relations should help us both: I will try to take up position on the big island just south of you
Danes to Britons: I am happy to dmz across the Low/Rhe area if you wish.
Danes to Angles: heading north of you if I can
Danes to Frisians: best of luck in your next game.
Norse press. to Danes...Support for you to FIR with 1 or 2 next year... DUR and south to you if you wish. to Welsh. Join with us. to Britons. South coast and Ireland to you.

Now - As players are eliminated, I am going to announce who they are. The eliminated players will get one chance to submit press (at their winter deadline) but after that winter, no press or comments will be accepted by the them until end of game.
Our second elimination is the Saxons, played by Garry Bledsoe. Garry was the player invited to play in the DCI in a decision made by the 3 moderators. Garry was selected as he is a long time player in DC as well as an established GM. He is a firm member of the DC community. Garry was ranked 82nd in the 2008 DC stats.
Game Standings
Garry Bledsoe - 9th Position - 1 point.
Derek Eyler -10th position - 1 point.
PRESS
Britons speak,
To Welsh,
One more fleet coming up, as agreed upon. Refrained from moving to Eng as to keep good relations.
To Angles/Danes,
I don't want anything to do with your fight if you decide to have a go at it. I will remain supporting whomever is in Tha.
To Danes,
Hm, I agree that it could be usefull to dmz hol and rhe, and that area in general. I pulled away Rhe as a sign of friendship, and because you withdrew your army as well.
To Angles,
Well, Str does border two of your new sc's, so me staying out of there should be a quite good bargain I think.
To Norse,
Interesting proposal, but I don't think it's doable with this current setup. However, if Welsh (for some unknown reason), would attack Angles, then I would of course have to reconsider my overall position. For now though, it's a NO to attacking Angles. And I belive it will remain so unless something drastic happens.
<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Wales: Hopefully we'll keep on building fleets. I think I am going to try to gum up the works by supporting the Picts in Lat and hoping for their support. But I'll also take into account your thoughts concerning Lat, which I would also be happy taking.
Britons: DMZ in Str it is. Let me know how I can help in any other way. I'll Support Hoe when I can. Thanks for your support too.
Danes: I'm a bit nervous with you up in Fir, but I think we're good.
Picts: If you support my hold in Bor I'll support your hold of Lat. Let me know please. If I don't hear from you I'll assume the worst and look to take Lat.
Irish to Welsh, any help would be welcome. I’ve tried helping you against the Scots, for despite you putting me in a very bad position this game, they struck first.
Angles, if A Cum-Ayr fails, please support again, unless supporting Lot makes more sense. Lot is yours. I'll assume you'll want support in from Ayr. I'll keep ordering A Wil-Sus, unless something changes. And I'm ready to lend it back if you need the build as well.
Britons, looks like we'll circle around Ireland and meet in Scotland. I thought of bouncing in Ker, but it might have been misinterpreted. The Irish shouldn't be a problem much longer.
Irish, I don't get it. Maybe you'll surprise me this turn.
Wales
Danes to Britons: I would like a partial dmz across our border, hence leaving only limited forces of mine there. Is that aceptable and useful to you too?
Danes to Angles: how about supporting A Jut to Lot? And extending our co-operation thereafter, especially in the far north?
Danes to Norse: good to see our peace working to help us both- happy to look for new ways of working together.
Guess a lot is down to whether Britons pile into south lands. The Ireland and Scots may get a reprieve
Norse press. to Britons and Danes. the islanders are talking direct support so I suggest that we do as well.

| Dc189 Draw Clarification - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
As a few have requested this, I will clarify 2 points.
1) The poins awarded would go like this:0
The points would be split equally through the participants in the draw.
so 6 positions means 7+6+5+4+3+2 = 27
divide by 6 means 4.5 poins each.
2) Given that both the irish and the picts finish on 1 SC. The irish would progress through to the next round (as they have recorded 0 NMRs and as of last winter had a higher SC). The picts would finish in 8th position.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
Norse press.
To all. Are we going to jockey for position or just get the game over? Or for a laugh, how about setting up a convoy of A HOR all the way around the Isles and back to HOR...  F ENG would allow this from next turn.
To Scots. Will hold back and allow you to concentrate on defending against Welsh.
To Britons. If <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Wales and Angles continue to support each other and gobble up whole of mainland then you are going to have to make a choice of landing on them or hoping that all those Welsh fleets go north and allow you to keep whatever you took in Ireland. And if they go north then I guess I will be supporting Scots fully so they get nowhere that way. And THA should be Danish as this is the best way of keeping Angles honest.
To Danes. What do you need?
To Danes, Scots and Picts. Need to decide if you want the Pict to stay alive this turn. Only way of doing this is for FIR to BOR and ARG to AYR. Not in any of your interests for the Anglo-Welsh alliance to get into LOT. LOT couls support either of the the other 2 moves and that will put them on a defensive guessing game.
Angles, I'll keep moving WIL-SUS, and supporting A BOR-LOT (even if you support LOT, unless you tell me I'm wasting my time). The Norse are moving on the Scots, so I don't think you have much to worry about from the Danes.
Irish, you've made things hard for me, but I'll do my best. Ordering DUB-CON would help.
Britons, it all looks good.
Wales.
Wales: Didn't expect you to bounce in SUS, still don't understand why you did. It's all yours this year and it will accomplish essentially the same goal. Will look for your support for my BOR - LOT, I think that's the way to go if this game continues. Depends on how the Danes play it though (see below).
Britons: Thanks for your support. Let me know if you need me for anything.
Danes: Are you saying that you'll attack the Norse if I give you LOT? Is that what you mean by 'the far north'? If I'm going to give you LOT then we should be clear. So let me know, because I'd be happy to make that agreement. I'd much rather cooperate then duke it out over LOT and FIR.

PRESS
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
Britons speak,
To Norse,
I do not desire conflict with either Danes or Angles.
To Welsh,
Hope the convoy did hit home, Con is hopefully under heavy pressure now. Anything else we need to discuss?
To Danes and Angles,
As noted, I do not desire conflict with either of you. I will remain neutral, the support for Tha an exception, but if Danes protest against that beeing not neutral then I would withdraw that as well.
To all,
Pick off Irish or Picts - you're choice.
Danish press:
Danes to Angles: I thought we might go anti-Scots as a next step. I have no thoughts of attacking the Norse, though I will defend myself if needed
Danes to Norse: I will keep trying for <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Lot: any help would be welcomed
Danes to Britons: good to see the dmzing of our boundary.
Wales: If I'm in Lot I'll support A Ayr - Arg. Sus is yours if you want it, but I'd be happy to keep it too. Wichever.
Danes: Ball's in your court. Let me know.
Britons: Str is the perfect DMZ. Let's keep it up.
Britons, CON is yours.
Picts, if you are pushed out and retreat to PER, order PER-ARG. The Angles and I will try to support you in.
Angles, that wouldn't be a bad fall move for us. If you don't get in, I'll support you again (but may change my mind if the odds change).
Irish, I told you I'd support you in ARM. You chose to give it up and keep DUB. I'm not going to wait for the Britons to take CON before I have a shot at another center. You're in the tournament, so I think we're set.
-Wales
Norse Press. I am going to go back and sit defensively. I am not going to help Welsh and Angles against Scots and Picts since neither of these are offering anything good to us on the continent. if Britons are not going to get stuck in somewhere then lets get the draw sorted out.

Winter 857
There are some draw proposals for winter (see draw section below)
Britons: Build One
Irish: Remove Fleet Louth
Welsh: Build Two
All winter adjustments and winter proposal votes are due Thursday 11th September at 5pm, Australian EST.
Spring 858 will be due Tuesday 16th at 5pm, Australian EST.
Draw Proposals.
My house rules state
10. I reserve the right to change my house rules as necessary. I will inform all players of changes to the house rules which will then take effect from the next deadline.
I am amending point 21 to add
All successful end game proposals will take EFFECT-
a) at the beginning of a spring or fall season (no moves will be processed)
b) at the end of a winter season (winter adjustments will be processed and counted)
I am also adding for this game (and the next DCI game), the following end game proposal will be valid.
In a DCI game, a player may propose an DIAS or DRAW proposal that
a) For the purpose of the DC statistics, all players who are mentioned in a successful draw proposal will receive an equal ranking of a DRAW for their game.
b) However for the purpose of a DCI game, an amendment can be made where the DCI points are allocated based on SC count and not on an equal member of the draw basis.
EG France (12 Sc), England (10Sc) and germany (4SC) all agree to a 3 way draw.
For the purpose of DC - France, England and Germany are all credited with a draw AND For the purpose of the DCI scoring France will receive 7 points, England 6 points and Germany (assumign he was third) 5 points.
This will officially be in place for the SPRING Deadline.
Now the Draw proposals we have in this game
For our Winter Deadline (all players with remaining SC including Picts and Irish can vote for these)
Option A - DIAS between all players. As this is PRE-winter adjustments, both Picts and Irish will be granted a share of the draw on 1 SC apiece.
Option B - Draw including Angles, Danes, Britons, Welsh, Scots, Norse.
(note Picts and Irish would be credited with a survivial on 1 SC)
For our Spring Deadline (only Angles, Britons, Danes, Norse, Scots and Welsh can vote)
Option C - DIAS
For DCI scoring,each remaining player receives 4.5 points
Option D - DIAS with DCI SC scoring.
For DCI scoring
Britons and Welsh 10 SC each - score 6.5 points
Angles 9 SC - scores 5 points
Norse 8 SC - scores 4 points
Scots 7 SC - scores 3 points
Danes 6 SC - scores 2 points.
Please labell option a, b, c and d with your votes to be clear.

Britons speak,
To Welsh,
Sus? Also, I'll proceed to outflank Scots. Might be able to help you into Arm soon.
To Danes,
We are on par.
To Angles,
Likewise as with Danes.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
All: I am up for the draw.
<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Wales: If you're in Arg and I'm in Fir then I guess the next step is to take Per or just hold the line. If I'm not in Fir then let's call it a line at Lot-Arg for now. I'll continue to support Ayr-Arg until you take it.
Angles, please continue to order LOT S AYR-ARG for as long as it makes sense, even if I don't act on it. And speaking of repeated moves, how do you feel about a permanent bounce in WIL starting next year?
Norse, support AYR-ARG with support or a cut, and we can divide the Scots as follows: ARG and INN for Wales, SUT and ICE for you, and SKY and LEW for the Britons.
Britons, how does that sound? If you got into CON, please cut support to ARM until I take it. If you didn't go for it, I'll support you in the spring or fall of next year.
Wales
Danes to world: can we please stop this, and move on to a "normal" game?
Danes to Norse and Britons: help appreciated if this is going to be other than a stalemate with all three continental countries sitting back while the odd centre gets swopped in Ireland and Scotland.
Can we have a 6 player end game voted on please: I will vote yes.
Norse press. Draw anybody? to Danes, will support FIR all game long if you want, request anything else you need. to Britons, you need to pick a side or back the draw.
to Scots, GRA has moved back, you can support yourself all game long now, request anything else you need.

Brian was ranked 21st at the time of calculation. Brian was one of the original 6 who were invited to play in the game. Brian will not progress to the second round of the DCI unless a player is unable to continue. Brian finishes on 1.5 points. Thanks for playing Brian.
The Irish were played by DCI heavy weight, Mike Sims. As many of you had guessed that Mike was a player in the DCI, Mike is ranked as the top player in DC. Mike was invited to play as he was the reigning champion - the winner of the 2008 DCI. Mike will be progressing to the second round of the DCI and has scored 1.5 points. Thanks for playing in this game, Mike.

Mike Sims - 7th Position - 1.5 Points
Brian Lam - 7th Position - 1.5 Points
Garry Bledsoe - 9th Position - 1 point.
Derek Eyler -10th position - 1 point.
PRESS
Britons speak,
To Welsh,
I might have made a misstake in taking Con with the army. I will support you into Lou though, and bring more units over to crack Gal. Will take another year or so.
To Norse,
I have yet to vote down a draw.
To Danes/Angles,
I will remain neutral unless my possessions are threatened.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
Danes to Norse:
thanks for support in Fir, pity I messed it up. I will try to return there, and certainly to stop any expansion of Angles to the continent.
Hopefully we will agree on a draw soon.
Angles, congratulations on taking FIR despite the joint Scandinavian resistance. As before, let's bounce in WIL and keep supporting AYR-ARG. I'm happy to leave the Norse in PER, but if they're a problem for you, feel free to take care of them first. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. And it may turn out that it's easier for me to get yo into ARG than it is for me to take it. If that proves to be the case, it's yours.
Britons, if the Angles agree to the bounce in WIL, I feel comfortable wiht you in WIG. F DEV will dock at COR, F DAM at BRI - my hope is they never move again, without your request. Taking GAL and DON sound good, with the aim of helping me take ARM in the fall, if I haven't taken it already. I look forward to trading supports for as long as the game continues.
Danes and Norse: do you really think the Britons need to stop sitting back and pick a side, while they move into first place?
-<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Wales
Britons and Welsh allied is not good for any of us folk. This has the making of a two way unless we act now.
