Guys,
Quite an action-packed turn. Unless something drastic happens in the fall, we'll be saying goodbye to Pope Brutus. The heathens in central Italy have relieved His Holiness of his last two armies, leaving the Pope without the necessity of writing any orders next season. Venice chipped in, covering one of Kevin's centers.
In other news, France takes a beating and Turkey invades the boot, while losing his foothold further north. Venice looks to spread and secure his borders, while Florence tries to stretch out a bit. Naples seems caught in the middle, gaining and losing ground at the same time, and allies are pairing off in preparation of a violent mid-game.
Also, remember: keep things civil, guys. Nobody likes an angry board-mate.


"Contempt and insults engender hatred against those who indulge in them, without being of any advantage to them." - Niccoló Machiavelli, The Discourses. 1517
