Honored Kings of the Dark Ages -
 
An interesting season - battles rage all over the map, yet not a single retreat needed.  The big winners this year are the Danes, who pick up an impressive *three* SCs, courtesy of their stab of the Anglo-Saxons and deep strike into Swedish territory.  Elsewhere, the Gaels suffer the loss of Munster to the Scots, who manage to hold their plunder with Anglo-Saxon aid.  The Gaels and Scots fight an epic but inconclusive battle in Dal Riada, while Norse fleets appear off Scottish shores.  The Bretons press far behind Anglo-Saxon lines, but are still faced with a disband this winter. 
We'll have a slightly abnormal deadline for Winter 827 on Tuesday 25 August 2009, 1700 EDT - because I'm taking a small vacation next week from Wed - Sun.  Then we'll have a long spring - first Thursday in September will be the Spring 828 deadline.  Winter adjustments are at the bottom of this page.
