Duchy of Swabia

Indeed, I have requested the knights from the emperor which he has graciously granted us, with the promise of further reinforcements from Frankfurt and Magdeburg whenever possible. He even suggested he may use Innsbruck for us after this year, thus I would refrain from ridiculing him in public lest we wish to jeopardize his generosity.

Once several regiments of knights arrive, I intend to launch an offensive against the French. God willing, we shall succeed.

Thankyou kindly Duke von Salza. I am unsure how to proceed against the French at the moment. My Flemish army relies heavily on pikemen, and they are not the most trustworthy of soldiers. They have been known to break if surrounded, and I have little to hold the flanks in a field battle.

Unless some knights can be given, you will have to do with the army you have for now. Count Erhart has a planned assault against the French, and if it succeds, and if the French don't siege Bern, you might receive reinforcements by 1350.

If sieged again I am sure you can repeat your last victory quite well.

Sounds reasonable. I think I should be fine in Bruges itself (any statements to the contrary in the Diet are to get us more reenforcements and faster). I just don't want to face the French in a field battle, because I cannot afford to lose men.

I'm eager to join in any fight against the French... Just point and I shall follow...

A message arrive from Outremer.

Hugo de Cervole,

I understand your predicament. Why travel half way across the world to fight, when the wolves are at your door step?

Outremer will still be here when you choose to come, I'll see to that.

Godspeed against the French,

Matthias Steffen

Count Ruppel, The SHA1 is marching to your immediate aid, it will reach Dijon soon (OOC: I am going to pick up the save and fight it now)

The Kaiser is also marching to Swabia, he agrees with us, and thinks we are in more dire need then Bavaria, rightfully so. When he arrives, and once Dijon is safe again, I thank you Erhart for that brave deed, we can finally start the offensive again.

Viceroy, When the French are defeated, I am sure Hugo, and perhaps more, will come to help you, but you seem to be going well now, with the help of the Swabian Andreas?
