Who is "he"?

No problems. I've actually put you and OK in the 24 hour action period.

I'd prefer OK to simply move and resort everything as he see's fit and then make a note in the Chancellor thread. If he hasn't done it in time then he has given me a detailed PM to follow so I should have it perfect.

Ok.

Ok tends to come on late at night (in EST) so it might be a few hours, but well within the limit. I don't think he'll be forcing a battle anyway, I just wanted to make sure Andreas hadn't used up his move points just in case.

I've uploaded a save in the Chancellor's thread. I did a lot less than I hoped to do - may be the cannons slowed me down?

Yes that could get a little hairy in the AI's turn now...I'd suggest Karolinger puts himself behind you Econ...

Hopefully he comes online to give his thoughts.

edit:

Still, I have to say we are getting a little too used to spanking the "normal" stacks with ridiculously low loses...oh dear...what shall we do.

An alternative, more risky option would be for him to use his fleet to sail south and bypass the Byzantine front - landing on the east coast of Italy, so as to head for Rome.

I'm not sure if that's suicide or steamrolling Econ, either way; "That's just not cricket my good man."
