Game 279: Month 2

Flawless Execution

Arthur's proclamation created a stir throughout the Celtic nation. A massive entourage departed the capital for Cenabum. Duke Mac Cekt arrived safely in Rennes. Our military maneuvers were unopposed as the legions deployed to the neutral villages in Amorica. Each legion scoured the territory en route to their destination, and each discovered the location of an artifact. Priestess Rhiannon was less fortunate; her divinations failed to reveal the location of any powerful relics.

Our agent corps effectively executed Arthur's commands. Hush started a fire in the Cenabum market at the same time as the arrival of our caravan of nobles. This diversion enabled the entourage to enter undetected.

The kingdoms on Armorica's borders kept to their agreements. All stayed away from the region, ensuring it would soon fall under Arthur's rule. Collectively, the kingdoms dramatically swung Rome's economy. Several kings must have joined Arthur, trading supplies for gold. The new rate of exchange was 16 supplies for 10 gold.

Turn 2: Planning

The major actions this month revolved around carrying out the original plans to take Armorica.

Political Plans

• Arthur will work to increase his influence. This will ensure all our nobles are more effective, no matter what region they are in.

• Count Connact will stir unrest in Cenabum, allowing Prince Ambrosius to assume control of the city.

• Duke Mac Cekt will usurp control of the town of Rennes.

Military Plans

• The legions are ordered to assault the neutral villages they are camped outside. We are confident of victory, having an estimated power three times greater than the defenses. This is an opportunity for leaders and troops to gain experience that will be useful in the times ahead.

• After the assaults, the leaders of each division will separate to a new patrol, and rendevous outside the caves rumoured to house Dragon Slayer, a powerful weapon artifact. The patrol can move faster than the group as a whole, so this shall ensure we do not waste a turn.

• The remaining troops will head eastward into central Armorica. This will position them closer to the border of Belgica, through which they must travel to reach Germania

• General Ross will train Centurion Cormac to ensure he is prepared for investigating the unusual sighting next turn
  
  

Covert Plans

• Mouse and Hush each undergo training

• Our newly hired agent will recon the city of Koln. We need to gather information regarding our potential enemy, the Teuton
