Game 279: Month 22

Foiled
In a brilliant covert operation, Visigoth agents assassinated our leaders in Aquitania. Legion Centaur was left leaderless, and failed to make their target of White Tale. Pegasus managed to arrive at their target, but the leaderless group will not be able to overcome the defenses of the fortress they are camped outside. Arthur finds himself surrounded by Frank forces at another Visigoth village in Aquitania. Our military in Aquitania is hamstrung, our nobles are out of position, and our agents have been out maneuvered. The comet grows brighter in the night sky...

Turn 22 Planning
This is potentially the last turn of the game, however we have to play as though it will continue. Thanks to meddling from the Visigoth, we will not be able to take enough of the region to sway it to neutral. Hopefully the Lombards or another kingdom will have more luck in Narbonensis.

Political Plans
- Ambassador Danu will attempt to incite rebellion in Chard Orin. This is likely to fail, as the Visigoth has two nobles located in the village that would be able to maintain status quo, but we will give it a try. With luck, our agent corps will be able to deal with the Visigoth nobility.
- Move prince Mac Cekt to the fortress of Augusto. Governor Orestes will join him there
- Governor Krassis will attempt to usurp control of Prexi
- Governor Malcor will maintain status quo in Fire Helm, just in case the Teuton nobility is still vacationing there
- Governors Balth, Hengist and Odrus will relocate to the town of Burdgala in Aquitania. It just declared its neutrality – odds are there is a Visigoth noble present.


Military Plans
- Arthur and his two brigades in Centaur will Hit and Run the Franks division Incomparable. They will move on to the village of White Tail – just in case the Visigoth is unable to claim victory. They will be joined at White Tail by the leaderless legions from Unicorn
- Pegasus will move to the village of Chard Orin to hopefully capture the Visigoth nobles that arrived there
- Titan will move to the village of Coral Springs.
- Pheonix will attempt to intercept any Teuton military group that tries to leave the city

Covert Plans
- Mouse will recon the Frank capital once again. If we are still alive next turn, we will want to make another attempt on the high priestess
- Horisian the Fox will attempt to poison the Visigoth Baron Vithimer, and Garga the Sublime will poison the Visigoth Count Liberius. This will hopefully clear the way for Ambassador Danu's rebellion.
- Max the Black will look for trouble in legion Pheonix. It's potentially the last turn of the game – we don't want the Teuton to try and steal one of our artifacts
Agent Dirk will recon Koln
