Well, this is easy, don't even need to mess with the save.

No building, recruitment or anything.

Attacking Raspe again since he neglected to retreat. Pming the next player.

Once again, the Duke of Tyrol finds himself under attack. However, his indecision in not retreating has sown confusion in his ranks. One of his units of spear militia has dispersed into the countryside, deserting his army. If this repeats itself, the rest of his army may follow his example!

Right then, PMing Zim and EF.

Adding to the confusion caused by his failure to retreat, the Duke of Tyrol gave no orders when Prince Henry's army appeared a second time. There was some milling about at first, but when the enemy army appeared over the horizon Duke Ortwinus's army had had enough, and they dispersed into the countryside. This left the Duke at the mercy of his enemy, and he was promptly captured by the Prince.

The battle has been concluded, and the necessary changes have been made to this save file. Turn order has resumed normally, although now that EF's character is captured he can't take his turn.

Andreas Hümmel has marched into Saxony and laid siege to Hamburg in the name of the Kaiser! He has ordered the construction of one ram and two sets of ladders.

His herald addressed the garrison of the city as follows:

"Brave men of Saxony, your valour is well-renowned and your courage beyond dispute. Know this that none will think the less of you for laying down your arms and surrendering to me. I come in the name of Heinrich Salian, rightful Kaiser of the Romans, and Duke of Franconia. He has your best interests in heart, and I assure you that should you come over to him you shall be treated well.

I know your sense of loyalty to your duke. Indeed, Duke Magnus is known by the name of "Saxon". But I urge you that your loyalty has been sadly mistreated. Indeed, He led you against the Prince of the Danes, and slew him on the field of battle. Brave indeed, was he, to march boldly into battle. Yet his actions have now brought naught but destruction and devastation upon your lands and families. Even now, your duke cowers from the vengeful Danish king, who is intent on avenging the death of his son. Do not think that he will be able to save your wives and children from the merciless raiders of the north. Come over to me, and you will have the Imperial Army itself deliver you from this menace. And the Kaiser alone has the means to organise a lasting peace with the Danish court.

I urge you, noble sons of Saxony, do not let your lord led you and your families to destruction!"

If I take the save now I won't be able to have it back for 48 hours - is that acceptable?

If not, could I please ask Zim to take my turn for me again? I'm still struggling with no internet at home and frequent business trips taking me out of the office...should calm down for a bit after this week.

EDIT: I'm leaving the office now so I have taken the save with me on my USB stick. I'll have it back in just under 48 hours unless Cecil says he can't wait in which case Zim can play it instead.
