Thanks.

I still don't know if it will be possible to send a large enough force during my term to the islands. Half of it is on its way to retraining and generally speaking, unless you want your full BHA ready for invasion, you could get to lay siege this term still, but not assault.

In any case, I might condone a landing, but not an assault until Milan is excommunicated or the papal bull expires. As for excommunication, you do have an IC letter from me.
