Another error, this one really bad. Thanks Lee for pointing this out.

The French A Nantes wasn't disbanded by the BUR/Arab attack nor
destroyed by its own fire (I assume). Instead it was dislodged. So we
have a second French unit remaining, in Nantes.

As per the rules, Trout can retreat the unit in Nantes to Noirmoutier,
a SC, or opt to disband it (in case it did set fire to itself). The
difference between survival and elimination for France.

My apologies to Trout and all others.
Late night adjudications and manual override of RP apparently don't
make a good recipe. And I guess that I was too much consumed by
France's burning desire and if I didn't there is still the OTB for
Nantes.

Fall 954: what happened to the French? Did their bonfire got out of hand and
spread to the neighboring region?
Or was it planned this way? Black plumes of smoke rise from the cities of
Nantes and Tours.
The Burgundians arrived just too late in Nantes to stop the French. In Tours
the civilians are clueless as to why their villages were set on fire. The
Norse army,expecting to support the French into Paris, is equally puzzled by
this French display of, uh, suicidal genocide.
Confusion in the northern region of Mecklenburg, Hamsburg, Hedeby, Jomsborg
and Jylland: units from the Danes, Norse and Slaves are scrambling to make
some sense of their orders. And the Swedish army of Aldeigjuborg who
intended to support the Swedish fleet in the Gulf of Finland into Reval
realized at its border that it still had to cross Ingermannland to get
there.

A DRAW proposal has been submitted: DRAW NORGE - ERE.
Any endgame proposals will be voted for in either major season (Spring,
Fall).
So please submit your votes with the next Spring orders (yes, first there is
Autumn and Winter).
If a player doesn't submit a vote, it will be counted as a 'NO' vote.

Autumn 954:
only one retreat due for the Danish Fleet in Sea Of England. It can retreat
to either Essex or Dogger Bank, or OTB.
Deadline for retreat is Friday Sep 25 at 23:00 and I'll adjudicate as soon
as I have received it.
A look ahead: Deadline for Winter 954 will be Tuesday , Sep 30 at 23:00 GMT.

As you can see I have adopted the icons for Fleets and Armies from the
Stonehenge game.
They are much more appropriate for this Viking game set in 950 AD.
If you like them, let me know and I'll send them to you.
The DPY and other files will be attached with the Autumn Adjudication.
