I really think we should have two years of mourning for the Kaiser before we bring up the question of succession.

Right then...

Karl Zirn,

The Turkish army before which you withdrew has now besieged Adana. With the reinforcements that were already collected there, you should have sufficient troops to sally against the Turks. Good luck.

Chancellor von Hamburg.

OOC note: there is excessive artillery in which were just sitting in Adana. Please do not utilize more than 4 units.

Ansehelm von Kastilien,

Sufficient troops have not been trained to well-equip both a crusade and a defensive army for the Thorn area. At least not given the threats that still face Thorn and the surrounding cities, such as a very large Polish army just outside of Breslau. You are to destroy this army, and then clean up any scattered enemy troops in the area.

Chancellor von Hamburg


Non-battle/optional:

Conrad Salier and Elberhard

Conrad Salier and Elberhard,

The Mongols have crossed the Euphrates somewhere to the north. Decide on how to conduct the defense, or attack them now if that seems tactically appropriate. You may use the troops of your armies as well as the Aleppo garrison for any purpose.

Chancellor von Hamburg.
