PREV Spring 906 Adjudication: NEXT

DC229: The Spring 906 season has been adjudicated. There was an impressive convoy of a French army from Lotharinigia all the way north to Saamiland via fleets flying three different flags (German, French, and Danish). Hopefully this successful convoy will not lead to the dissolution of the Diplomatic Corps (sorry, an inside joke...).

That was not the only Danish coup this spring in the war against Kiev, as Trout snuck a Danish army into Cheremissia, where it now has a free shot at pillaging Rostov and causing general havoc in the Russian backlines. Staying in Europe, maybe the West Frankish army in Helvetia brought the wrong map, but it finds itself in the East Frankish supply center of Bavaria, indicating a possible stab. French armies continued on the advance in Rome, although Umayyid gained Sicily to stay level overall for now.

Turning to Africa, that rogue Axum army is now rampaging through the Wagadu homeland, and the naval battle has begun in full throat in the South Atlantic. Looking to Asia, the naval battle remains stalemated in the Indian Ocean, while the inexorable eastward movement of the battle line in the land battle continued. Finally ending in Central Asia, we could have a surprise first elimination of the game next fall (given that the Pratihara Kingdom seemed surely the first to go), as both Khazar supply centers have been occupied in spring.

The deadline for the Spring 906 Retreat season (orders needed from Kiev and Ummayid) are due Fri, Apr 3rd at 10 pm USA eastern time, although I may not actually adjudicate until Saturday morning-ish. Our Axum player Benjamin Hester will be away on Army duty this weekend (Fri-Sun), and has requested that the next deadline be extended accordingly. For now, I am extending the Fall 906 deadline one day until Fri Apr 10th. I am not sure if he would like a longer extension, and when I hear back more from him, the deadline may be pushed back into Tue or Wed of the next week.

We have two sets of press before the adjudication:

PRESS #1 (Ummayid Emirate)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Press:
Umayyad emirs in exile
continue to plot all the while
though kicked out of Spain
their forces remain
intact, to continue their guile

So let machinations commence
Umayyad won't sit on the fence
we're down but not out
and still have some clout
though desperately lacking in "friends"

The trick, at this delicate time
(on top of composing a rhyme)
is to do more with less
which requires finesse
if out of the hole we're to climb
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

PRESS #2 (Anonymous)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Some anonymous press:

We cannot keep the gold of yesterday;
Today's dun clouds we cannot roll away.
Crows sit all huddled, cries muted in soft spring rain,
So to the watch-tower, cup in hand to fill and drink again.

Li Bo
