Honored Kings of the Dark Ages -

Please note that the next scheduled time to sink your axes into your
decadent enemies is tomorrow evening. All orders need to be in by
that time.

B.

The snow melts, the rivers thaw, and longboats once again ply the cold
waters of the north. Our Bretons continue to face a withering assault
of Gaels, Scots, and Anglo-Saxons, and this season's campaign results
in the the seizure of Mercia by the Scots. The Breton counterattack
sees Hamptonshire fall into their hands - now the task remains to hold
it for the fall. At sea, the Scots and Norse combine their strength
to force their way into the strategic North Sea against Danish
opposition. The Danes launch an effective counterattack in the Baltic
however, and surround the occupying Norse army of Svear.

Press: None. How about some poetic Viking war prose?

One retreat needed - Breton Army Mercia can retreat to Lindsey, or
OTB. Matt, if you will please blast that to the group as soon as
possible, I'd be most grateful. Presuming we see that in the next 24
hours, the Fall 829 Deadline will be Thursday October 8, at 1700 EDT.
