I have given my men very specific orders to attempt to keep as many as possible free of the plague and still advance my plans to stop the Danish assault. In essence I have sent the town militia to hold Hamburg, left a minimal garrison at Arhus, and taken command of the militia you wisely ordered to hold outside the walls of Arhus last year.

Those men appear to have kept a clean camp and remain plague free. The men of the Arhus garrison are not, and so I have left them under the command of a captain and sent them ahead of me. I intend to attack the first army of Danes in all haste and then fall back to recover my forces while the second army is still advancing.

I have also lowered taxes to maintain order in the respective cities (One notch at Hamburg, two at Arhus); it makes little difference as tax revenues are so low anyway.

Of course feel free to countermand these orders as necessary.
