Hold your breath, gentlemen! The Vandali make their penultimate push, and grab two Alamanni centres. One more is needed for the solo victory, but the battle takes place from the Alps down Italy to Africa and there are many potential spots of vulnerability which may be exploited by the A/G pact.   I suspect a very tense Fall season on both sides of the conflict, and I'll bet that at least one coin will be flipped before the next deadline.  Two bold convoys have attempted to forestall Vandali victory:  the Gothi land on the Numidian shores and threaten Carthago, while an Alamanni attempt to return to defend Ancona has been stalemated.  Aside from Africa and Italy, the Alps may also prove problematic for the Vandali defense; while buffered by the rivers Rhenius and Danuvius, here we may find that the rules could become exceptionally important yet again.  Any questions about those, or clarifications on what may happen given certain scenarios, don't hesitate to ask.

One Alamanni unit was dislodged but a retreat is not required.
Bret, I have no orders from you, but I have a feeling that I saw them at some point.  If you did send them, please remind me soon!

I may be away this weekend, so if everyone can get me the Fall 410 orders by 11 October at 08:00 GMT, I'd appreciate it greatly.  Otherwise, adjudication will come Monday (14 October) at the same time.
