Honored Kings of the Dark Ages - And we move into the fall of the first year, with several players making a run for 3 builds, but none reaching the mark.  The strategic territory of Strathclyde falls to the Britons, with a little help from the Gaelic fleet offshore.  Meanwhile, the Scots slide comfortably south into Deira, the Danes and Anglo-Saxons peaceably divde the continent between them, and the Norse respect Swedish borders, holding in Varmland.  Mercia and Lindholm remain contested battlefields.  Finally, in other news, the Zetland tourism board reports record low attendance, as neither Scots nor Norse decided to pay them a visit this year. 
 
No retreats due, so we move straight into the Winter 825 Adjustments.  Normally, this would be Monday, but I will allow until Thursday, July 9th due to the Independence Day holiday weekend in the US. (I'm gone myself until Monday immediately after clicking send on this email)  PLEASE remember to format the subject line of the messages correctly, and CC everything to benjamin DOT hester AT us DOT army DOT mil.  After the next adjudication, that is likely to be the only email I will receive at all for a full 30 days, and it's an NMR if it only goes to the Gmail account.  So CC both and be certain I have your orders please!
