Hallo zusammen,
the focal point of this season's action were the northern plains of Italy. For it is there that Louis' armies suffered a crushing defeat, spelling the end to French influence in the country of Dante and Machiavelli. Certainly Italy has known many masters over the past decade. First the Spaniards ordered much of the country's affairs, then the French came across the Alps much as they had done back in 1494 and now it is the turn of the Sultan to reign over much of bella Italia.
I'm sorry that I kept you waiting for the adjucation longer than I anticipated. I'm afraid I simply didn't get round to having the block of time at my home computer necessary to do the adjucation.
The Fall 1659 Moves prelims are due Monday, 31 May, 6 PM CET.
Liebe Grüsse,
Charles
