No comments on the events of Turn 9?? You left a lot of your boys' bones behind in Rhaetia; King Phil is going to send you a bill for the cleanup. I guess they misnamed that commander of yours "Menko the Heartless" should have been "Menko the Gutless" for the way he skedaddled.

Originally posted by PhlabibitThat's probably a good idea; these kids are pretty sedentary. I've been waiting for their "final assault" on Venice since turn 4. Better still, we might as well bring their bones to Ratisbon; we've got plenty of Bavarian prisoners to carry them.
Perhaps he'd like us to deliver them to Alsace on our way through?

It seems the whole of Europe revolves around this silly Italian war. For the sake of clarity, could someone make a list of who is on what side?
EDIT - It's not entirely clear where most of the participants' loyalties and priorities are. The obvious players are:
Good Guys AKA The Heathers:
Bavaria
Hungary
Saxony
Roum
Bad Guys AKA no1Hussein's Minions AKA Axis of Evil:
Venice
Sicily
As for the rest, well, some seem to be on one side or the other, but it's hard to be sure of any of them. While my list above makes it look like the Bad Guys are outnumbered 2:1, more of the unknowns lean towards their side I think.

This week's Power Ratings:
1. Saxony 1
2. Hungary 4
3. Golden Horde 2
4. Sicily 5
5. Bavaria 3
6. Aragon 8
7. Roum 9
8. Morocco 11
9. France 7
10. Poland 10
11. Venice 6
12. Mamulukes 14
13. Castile 12
14. Norway 13
15. Acquitaine 17
16. Byzantine 16
17. Teutons 20
18. Denmark 18
19. Hafsids 21
20. England 19
2 smaller than province-less Arles. It looks like a few realms are very close to going out.
EDIT - Oh, I see. Their competitors on the bottom of the list got into fights and lost military units, which seems to weigh heavily in the formula (and rightly so). Plus Lithuania got thrashed. What a long fall from #2...

Originally posted by no1marauderWho's the Heather you're talking about here? Aragon? Aquitaine? England? Saxony? Must be Saxony...
That was Aragon. It does look like Aquitaine battered the English fleet again; I heard Freddie was expecting naval help. But you can't ever trust a Heather.
BTW, France built 10 Heavy Infantry in Paris.

EDIT: Interestingly enough, the Heathers are the same nations that comprised the Central Powers in WWI except they have Poland, the realm that is about to attack the Great Khan on their side, too. Does that make the Horde part of your "Axis of Evil"?
Originally posted by rwingettBTW, will you fix the map? The Elite Marines of Venice and Army Group Carmine from Sicily have liberated Ragusa. So make that a nice, blood red rather than that fruity looking lavender.

Originally posted by no1marauderNope. Poland and the Horde are still undetermined/neutral, as my list made clear. You do have a point about Roum. I assumed that taking one of your starting provinces was sufficient to make her your enemy, but maybe you've forgiven her. She looks like she'll be busy with her Muslim neighbors so maybe she'll stay out of it. I dunno.

And size doesn't matter. That's what my GF told me. Well, my ex-GF.
Originally posted by no1marauderThe theme of this turn seems to have been to make Europe resemble a Rubik's cube. Lots of jumbling.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungNEWS FLASH! Poland AND Saxony declared war on the Republic and Sicily this turn. So, Poland's hardly "neutral"; that army in Carinthnia ain't vacationing though if he's under the command of the Bavarian he's liable to be sitting in front of Venice waiting for MORE countries to join in the "attack" until doomsday.

Actually it's funny about Crete; when we were still allies I was going to sell it to ya so you could have a harbor and I wouldn't have to bother defending a 4 gold province in the middle of nowhere. But you were at war with the Byzantines and I figured you wouldn't be able to hold it (that was prior to the ByzantineBot). I had sent a fleet to pull the troops out the turn it got attacked. So, I didn't sweat it's loss very much and the troops that took it have frittered away there for 6 turns doing nothing. Probably Princess Dimwit was too busy with the all-important DIPLOMACY to actually move her troops to a useful position in a wargame.
