Frohe Weihnachten!
It's been a good fall for the Lord Protector and the Cardinal! Godly rule now holds sway over much of Scandinavia, while the French have conquered strategically important Swabia.
This in turn adversely affected the Emperor and the Northern Crowns, though the Swedes were at least able to regain the Duchy of Courland.
In the Mediterranean, the Sultan has managed to seize Sicily and hence deploy his war galleys further to the West. Madrid was in the meantime beset by the inertia of its military leaders and failed to gain new ground.
I should add that I found a bug in the RP module. I had failed to denote Sicily as being adjacent to the Ionian. Should you want the fixed RP files, let me know and I'll send them to you.
Anyway, I shall be down in Greece as of now until December 29th and any game-communication of mine will be probably delayed until that date.
As you know, I've scheduled the Winter deadline for the 1st. Okay, now gotta pack my suitcase (and the odd present I have yet to wrap).
I wish you all a merry and blessed Christmas.
Liebe Grüsse,
Charles
