Mein Kaiser, believe me, my first desire is to finally be on my way to Outremer. I merely proposed facing the rebels if my departure was delayed by other reasons, such as a lack of ships. I thank you for getting me on my way.

I am concerned however that my Father, Duke Gerhard, might not have enough troops to take Caligari on Sardinia. He has five units, including the new Franconian Jens von Kassel (unassigned avatar), and there are rumors (I clicked on the Castle) that there are ten Milanese units there. We don't know the composition, but they must be castle trained. Ulrich Hummel was a fool and his poor plans and execution have ensured the initial failure of both invasions.

Perhaps Markus, Lothar and the Corsica forces should be brought south to assist? Once Caligari is captured, the combined force could move back north to Corsica and hunt down the witch before laying siege to Ajaccio. With Hummel's fumbling, we aren't going to meet the time limit set anyway. At this point I would settle for the competent completion of the Edict.

It is only a suggestion, I will leave the planning to more experienced Electors.
