Howdy players -

Quickie post for now just to keep the game flowing.  I don't have a
map for you right now, and I'm not setting a new Spring 828 deadline
yet, but I wanted to give you all these results so you wouldn't have
to sit on hold until I get back on Sunday.  I will kick out a map and
update the DC site then, and there will be a normal Thursday deadline
then most likely, if no one objects.
And with that, I'm off to swim...

Swedes - Remove F Bal, A Sve
Bretons - Remove A Dyf
Gaels - Remove F Heb
Danes - Build F Jel WC, F Rib WC, A Ros
Scots - Build F For
Norse - Build F Hor
Anglo-Saxons - No Change

And to answer a question, Dark Ages victory condition is 20 SCs, per
the Dip Wiki (simple majority).  I encourage all of you to check out
the Dip Wiki for the variant if you haven't already (on the
diplomaticcorp.com web site)

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.
