The Akamar Herald Year one Issue Seven

Some things that I forgot to mention in the previous post were that we had a one week pause while Ken fought the miniature battles.   All three were fought in one day using Scutarii starting about 9 in the morning and finishing by 5 in the late after noon.   I will be adding this to the previous post.

Hal was supposed to have the next turn, but due to medical complications we had to skip his turn and go to Gary's.   John asked to join the campaign and volunteered to help Hal.  Gary spent all the money in his treasury buying extra cards from the deck.  He then staged a coup in Eridanus and took over Piscis.

The campaign map was filling up with only a few countries unclaimed.   While players could stage coups, no military attacks were allowed during the first year in order to allow the players to establish their territories.

ERIDANUS DECLARES ALLEGIANCE TO PISCIS


THE ARCHBISHOP BUCKET (PRONOUNCED BOO-KAY) HAS ANNOUNCED THAT ERIDANUS WILL WITHDRAW FROM THE GRAND CONFEDERATION AND JOIN WITH ERIDANUS.   WHEN ASKED WHY ERIDANUS WOULD DO THIS ARCHBISHOP BUCKET REPLIED, “BECAUSE OF THE RECENT INVASION THE GRAND CONFEDERATION WAS NO LONGER KEEPING UP APPEARANCES.  AFTER ALL, WHO WANTS RUFFIANS TROMPING ABOUT IN YOUR CASTLE WEARING DIRTY SHOES?  THE INVASION HAS TRULY ALARMED US”
