Game 279: Month 7

Attack

Even greatly oppressed, the Germanian people are loyal to their Teuton overlords. Agent Zed started a fire in the market square and barely escaped with his life. Smoke filled the streets, and panic reigned. Alas, Zed's diversion was for naught. Spies lurked in the alleyways of Koln, and our nobles were identified one by one as they entered the city. Only Baron Aed Ruad escaped notice.

Angry messages arrived in Armorica days later, and Odavacer's wrath jumped from the pages of correspondence. Arthur laughed at the threats contained within, and ordered the attack. Soon the village of Volksburg would be smoking at the hands of Titan, and Koln would overthrow their rulers. King Arthur had another plan as well, one more devious in nature...

Turn 7 Planning

Capturing Koln is the key to this opening gambit. The Saxons plan to assasult the Teuton capital next turn. It is our responsibility to ensure the city does not become Odavacer's new home.

Political Plans

• Baron Aed Raud, Count Connacht and Duke Mac Cekt will stir unrest in Koln. Prince Ambrosius will attempt to rebel the city.

• Governor Cimbraeth incite rebellion in Aggrippina – this is a risky plan, but with our spectacular regional reaction in Germania, I believe it has a chance to succeed.

• Our newly hired Governor Orestes will relocate to a rumored Teuton village in central Germania

• King Arthur will increase his Rulership ability – according to the status point report, we were in second or third instead of the lead, as is our custom. We must get the lead back.

Military Plans

• Titan will assault the village Volksburg, and then move to the city of Koln. If I were the Teutons, I would be moving my military there, hoping to capture the Celtic nobles by taking the neutral city by force. Titan will prevent that from occuring.

• Move Pegasus to a Saxon village on the Belgica/Germania border – they cannot meet with Titan, so lets keep them out of harms way

Covert Plans

• Hush will perform a diversion, and Mouse will attempt to poison the Teutonic prince Totila in Koln

• O'rork Ledbelly will guard the prince and duke.

Additional Plans

• Relocate priestess Rhiannon to a village on the border between Amorica & Belgica. She needs to be closer to Germania to be used effectively.

• Construct citadel in Cenabum. This will help protect the region, as most of our military is away on the offensive.

• It was an expensive turn, and we have spent more gold than we have in our coffers. Trade 12,000 supplies for 9000 gold.
