You left out Venice - Bavaria
Certainly you could not have forgotten the hardfought struggle of the Venetian fleet against their mighty Bavarian foe?
Originally posted by KnightWulfeI think Schakuhr forgot to actually declare war and thus his attempt to enter Teuton territory didn't work. Arles might have attacked Acquitaine in Langeduoc unsuccessfully,but I'm not certain.
I heard the Lithuanians were at war with the Teutons as well... or was that just rumor?
EDIT: The Lithuanians tried but failed to go to war. http://www.timeforchess.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=34723&page=41

Originally posted by schakuhrThat was certainly sporting of you. I'm sure you sent the Master of the Teutonic Knights an e-mail prior to this turn informing him of your intention to invade his territory.

Originally posted by KnightWulfeIf the Teutons are led by any kind of a competent leader, they should have regained at least 2 and more likely three of their provinces from Novgorod this turn (though they'll probably lose one they took from N). The Poles are a bit more of a problem for them IMO plus for some bizarre reason they seem to have declared war on Saxony.
If there is anything left - Novgorod and Poland have made short work of the Order, it seems.
Originally posted by no1marauderWell, the Teutonic Commander is new - I guess the competency of this person will show itself...or not.

New turns are in. Map is updated. Let me know if I missed anything.
Some interesting developments this turn:
Aquitaine gets hammered
The Teutonic Order proves to be more resilient than anticipated
Venice loses a chunk of land
Denmark is relegated to Sweden
Some things stay the same:
France, the Hafsids, and the Byzantines all do nothing.
