Game 279: Month 5

The Calm Before the Storm

Armorica was bustling with preparations for the invasion. One by one, Celtic nobles left hearth and home bound for the east. Word quickly reached Arthur's court that all our emissaries arrived safely at their destinations. During their travels they also heard of other distant regions swearing fealty to other kings. The Alamanni kingdom assumed control of Gaul, and the Pannonia bowed down to Atilla and his Huns.

Turn 5 Planning

This turn will place our nobles and troops within striking distance of Germania. It's nearly time to strike.

Political Plans

• Arthur will once again shower the people of Germania with gifts, which will increase his regional reaction there

• Prince Ambrosius, Duke Mac Cekt, Count Connact, Baron Aed Ruad and Governor Cimbraeth move to pop centers on the border between Belgica and Germania. Agents Zed and Dirk continue escorting them.

Military Plans

• Titan will attempt to retrieve the Ekkisax, and afterwards will push through the plains into central Belgica. With their speed, they will be able to strike into Germania next month.

• Reinforcements arrived in our capital this turn. They were assigned to legion Pegasus, and marched eastward.

• Ross the Red imparts his wisdom, training more up and coming leaders in Titan, preparing them for battle.

Covert Plans

• Mouse and Hush will once again undergo training. By the time they arrive in Germania with Titan, they will be experienced enough to wreak havoc with the Teutons.

Additional Plans

• Construct storehouses in Sleepy Hollow. They will provide much needed supplies to fuel the war against the Teutons.

This leaves me with one order remaining, and not enough gold to issue anything. I could drop the construction of the storehouses to move a couple of lower ranking nobles instead, however I prefer to leave them in Armorica for the time being as early warning systems – Ambassadors are perfect for the Learn King Standing command.

I send a quick message to the Saxons to let them know of my positioning. Next turn, we strike!
