If I must die, I will encounter darkness as a bride and hug it in mine arms.

Our friendly bard gets a little morose with his latest work, as do the Russians as the Danish Barents Sea fleet continues to make them cry. A key support is cut in Archangel allowing the purple-clad troops to annex Moscow. While on the other side of the continent, the Danes reinforce their position in Spain and take the Spanish highlands in Castille.


But it wasn't all Danish on the board - the Habsburgs make a move in force through the center and the Spanish match their foes move for move in the central Med.


One retreat is required, that being the aforementioned Russian garrison from Moscow. Deadline for the retreat will be set for Saturday, September 27th (11:59 PM GMT).


Cheers folks. Please just let me know if you spot any errors.
