Oh... Bloody Hell! Er ... a Scotsman on a horse!


The Swedes and the Norse put an end to the plague of Danish longboats in the Northern Waters. Meanwhile the Scots tighten the noose around the Gaels and the Anglo-Saxons continue to stretch out with both arms.


In an ironic coincidence, both the Swedes and the Anglo-Saxons misordered this round - and both mistaken orders concerned Saxony. Sweden missed the support for Saxony, and the Anglo-Saxons missed the support for the attack on Saxony. Rather than delay the game seeking clarification, I simply ran the turn with the orders as submitted. (I assume that if I got clarification, it would end up a 2:2 bounce rather than a 1:1 bounce - net result the same.)


With all that, we have one retreat before moving to Winter adjustments. The Bretons have until Wednesday, Apr 9th (11:59 PM GMT) to send their fleet in the Bristol Channel packing.


And speaking of Bristols, my thanks to Rob B. for taking the Danes to the end of their road. Rob, we hardly got to know ya in this one - but I'm sure I can speak for everyone in saying we look forward to the next game with you. =)


Cheers everyone. Please let me know if you spot any errors...
