THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WAS RECEIVED FROM PERSEUS

To the Editor of the Akamar Herald:
Dear Editor:

Rumors of my death have been greatly exagerated.

Shortly before dusk on the evening of the 29th of May,
General Macksamillion arrived with the Fnebish Army, a
rag-tag group of mercenaries if ever I saw one,
accompanied by an amazing compliment of war elephants.

They fought with incredible courage in the face of
overwhelming odds and by sundown had carried the
field.

I do pray that in the future you double check your
facts before reporting about events in Perseus. First
the inaccurate accounts regarding trade, then claiming
I had been slain whilst trying to flee! Really! Next I
suppose you'll be reporting that I have risen from the
dead!!!

Immortally yours,

Brown Dort

The campaign took a one week pause to resolve the invasion.  Ken was able to make arrangements to fight the battles in those counties where he had armies.  All three battles were fought in one day by Ken.   The rules used were Scutarii.   The fighting began shortly after nine in the morning and finished by five in the late afternoon.
