Spring 961: 3 Draw proposals were on the table.
All proposals received votes, no abstains, and these are the results:
1) DIAS - Voted down
2) 2-DRAW ERE and SLAV - Voted down
3) 2-DRAW ERE and NOR - Voted down
So we continue our quest for the Solo, I guess.

This Spring showed heavy fighting, again, between ERE and BUR on their borders. ERE successfully defends Venezia which leads to a self-induced failing chain of orders for BUR as these were dependent on the taking of VEN. Another success for ERE in Praha as it convincingly fended off a Swedish attack. In the Eastern Mediterranean there is a stand-off between ERE and the BUR/NOR alliance but in the western part of it the alliance is inching closer to the ERE troops.
In the far East meanwhile, after years of war between the Slavs and the Romans, both armies seem to have decided that it would be wiser to deploy their units elsewhere than have them tied up in a stalemate over Burta, Khazar Empire, Vladimir, and Cumaniya.
In Scandinavia the Norse and the Swedes have lined up their units along their borders - ready for a major war? If so, then the approaching Slavs will definitely cause the Swedes some headaches.
No retreats.
