PRESS STARTS

***********

Britons speak,

To Irish,

Apology accepted. Do likewise accept my shuffling of units, I need that army elsewhere.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
*************
Picts to Danes : Lets get the Norse. He wants you dead now we must work together
******************
The cod report: passing Basque fishermen have informed the Frisians that when they whistle at the Norse, they're whistling in the wind.
***************
<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" />Wales - Getting my southern fleet into position.
Britons - Shall we crunch the Saxons and divide the spoils?
- Angles
******************
Frisians to Britons : I will give you Fla as an offering of peace. After this year leave it as a DMZ?

Frisians to Norse : Skip your pact, get the Danes while the picking is good. They won't be able to stop you.
*****************
Brits, the Welsh have declined our offer for peace. Even though a dmz of Cel is ideal, we would like to propose that you take Cel by force, and we can support you onto the mainland. The Welsh want to bounce in St. instead of allowing us to send our fleets back to Gal as we’d offered. This is unfortunate, but necessary. After dislodging us to Bri, you can count on support for Bre-Cor.

If the Welsh propaganda turns out to be a farse and they move instead to Bri, then we would encourage you to move Bay-Cel just the same.

To the Picts and Scots, you guys seem to hit it off on the wrong foot! Be sure to heed the Angle-Welsh team forming that will control 13 centres after this year.

To the Saxons, for the love of God I hope you are able to survive the coming onslaught that might have the Angles and Welsh controlling most of great Britain.

Ireland
****************************
Britons, I trust the new fleet's placement is to better repel our common interloper.

Angles, unless obvious circumstances prevent it, I will continue to support as per your instructions.

Irish, I'm comfortable with you in Wes, and will proceed as indicated earlier, barring any further bluster. In the meantime, straight sailing!

-Wales
***********************
Picts' announcement:
To Scots: Could we keep our peace? You have many space for expansion.

To Nores: My moves are for defensive purpose. If you go Westward, I will try my best to defend against you!

To Angles: I appreciate your DMZ. Keep it! And sorry I try FIR. It's for defensive purpose.
*****************************
Saxons to Neighbors [Angles and Welsh specifically]: Can you guys lay off already? I keep having NO CHOICE but to defend myself and be aggressive to hold my own lands.

Saxons to Welsh - Note that my Wig-Wil is in effect a pointless move designed simply to ensure that no support can be given. It in NO WAY threatens my Welsh friends. Hopefully you have seen that my moves thus far have been in good faith not to attack you.

Saxons to Angles - I keep having to move in accordance with defending myself. Hence the bounce in Suf and the A build in Lon. The moves this turn were designed to ensure that you get Suf and I get Mid...basically meaning we continue a precarious balance of power that gains NONE of us anything while others grow and we fight one another.

Saxons to All - HELP!!!!
**********************
Danes to Norse: fine with a one-turn move through SKA so long as you then head to Dog or Hor. F BAL with move west as soon as I can manage it.
**********************
Norse to all. Somebody is good at faking press... This is press 1

Norse to Picts.. I suggest that you don't provoke a fight. This is press 2

Norse to Scots. But if Picts are picking a fight then we are natural allies. This is press 3

Norse to Danes. Go west as the band once said. This is press 4********************
