    Any directions from the King? I can sit tight and recruit some cheap units if need be.

    Hmm, good question about Belgrade's sacking money. It never actually got sacked because it was taken when Cecil won the defensive battle, but I think I can make 1000 gold available for the money from just taking occupying a settlement. That money goes to Myth/King Pozsony since they are his troops. The settlement of Belgrade is also under his nominal control until it is claimed by another, just as Constantinople is.

    Understood - but we need an avatar there if we want to control the troops in any battle.

    There's a bit of chat going on about fighting each other's battles. As far as I know this has never been allowed in previous throne room RPGs (Zim, can you confirm?)

    My own view (which may not carry any weight at all) is that we could perhaps allow the GM to fight if a player is absent for a crucial battle (eg. Mithri has let me know he's going to be away until 27th) but that it's against the spirit of the game to let players control each others avatars.

    What does everyone else think? NB?

    In past games from my recollection they've been a bit strict at times about players having to fight their own battles. One of the exceptions was if someone knew they were going to be away for a while (so people wouldn't lose their avatar just because they had a week long business trip or something).

    Cecil or Ignoramus may be able to correct me. They've both been in these games longer than I have.

    And, of course, it's entirely up to NB whether he'd want to follow any "precedent" or make his own ruling.
