The Legion der Krone should strike now, in conjuction with Fredericus Erlach's force.

OOC: I have finals so I can't fight it.

Mini Econ occupied Rome, getting around 1800 florins. It was only defended by one kataphract: 623 vs 61; 5:1 odds; we lost 12 - they lost all.

It's funny, when I fought that battle I was able to take the square with the Kataphractoi on it. Nobody fought, nobody died. I wish I could get that result again, it would make for a fun story.

OOC: Yes, I noticed the count down start and the kataphracts just stand there. But Mini Econ was not buying it - he wanted to fire his bombard.

I guess we know who we can blame for that hole in the city square of Rome then.

The violent little tyke!!

I'm sure Arnold needs an acolyte, would he be interested? That's very impressive behaviour.

Welf von Luxemburg

Chancellor,

Count Ruppel has shared with me his insights into the predicament of relieving Dijon. The SHA will obviously be essential in this effort and requires an Elector to command it. But as the formation is now infected with the plague, I do not believe the Duke should be required to expose himself by standing at its head.

I request that my previous orders be countermanded and that I move towards Staufen bridge. This move would allow me to assume command of the SHA next turn. If the Duke himself wishes to command the SHA, then my force might anyway be better placed near Staufen than near Frankfurt. To be candid, alone my force could not contest Frankfurt with a full strength French army anyway. However, near Staufen and the support of the SHA, it might be provide useful reinforcements and support for my Duke and the capital of my House.

Yours

Welf von Luxemburg
