All of my armies are performing my movements as declared.

After a grinding battle in Etung, the Greedy Nobles force the League of Frightened Men to retreat to Yala.

3 GNIP infantry lost, 4 League infantry lost (1 in pursuit).

Autumn has begun!

Improvements are available:

Militia

Hero

Agent

Agent

Agent

MDL+1

MDL+1

MDL+1

MDL+1

Culture+1

Culture+1

For our purposes, an agent will allow you to assassinate a Hero anywhere on the map, or prevent a single assassination.

Remember: "A player may never choose two or more improvements of the same kind at the same time."

Let me know your bids!

Ok. I bid 3.

GNIPs bid 10, Bertie bids 12.

So Bertie goes first and chooses 4 things. Then GNIPS picks 3. Then I get 1.

My preference is the order the items are listed in - militia down to culture.

Remember : "A player may never choose two or more improvemen ts of the same kind at the same time."
Choose!

I'll take Militia, Hero, Agent, Culture+1. After that, I think the following is all inevitable.

@GhostofNobodyInParticular your turn. (Your only option is Agent, MDL+1, Culture+1.)

After that, @LTD gets Agent.

I take MDL+1.

GNIP takes MDL+1.

LTD takes MDL+1.

Let me know if I made an error.

Sounds about right.

Diplomacy, then campaign orders.

I was really hoping for militia. . .

Ok, Autumn Moves:

GNIPs: The army at Mafa forages, the army at Agatu fortifies, and the army at Etung moves to Agatu. (-3 coins)

League: Everything Forages

Denn Grylls: (Betrayal!)

Obybra road 1 to Ygep

Katsina - Road 4 to Chibok

Ikom - Road 3 to Vacled

(-5 coins)

Battle at Chibok between League and Denn Grylls

Denn Grylls gets 3 rerolls - enemy Foraging, Cavalry Superiority, Hero. ( @Bertie Wooster let me know when you are available to roll dice!)

We have higher MDL, doesn't that count for a reroll?

Oh true. Yes.

Denn Grylls defeats the League in Chibok. 3 League infantry defeated. No Denn Grylls casualties.

Ok - Winter is coming!

Please let me know where you would like your reinforcements to be placed, followed by your Improvements.

I have also dealt the cards for Spring, so we can get going on that.

Knit faster!

All 3 Cavalry goes to Jere.

Militia goes to Nganzai.

Hero goes to Jere.

I'm not sure if the Agent is placed on the map. If so, Jere. (What is the timing window for using the Agent?)

@GhostofNobodyInParticular I'll trade my 2 of Spades for your Jack of Diamonds, and my 4 of Diamonds for your 10 of Clubs.

Agents don't go on the table - they stay in your hand. You can play them at any point that suits you.

You can only place 2 cav at Jere - one for the province, one for the village.

One for his bonus, or does that only apply to infantry?

That's only infantry.

I think Jere is the only place I am allowed to place cavalry, if I'm understanding the rules correctly. But if I am allowed to place that extra cavalry somewhere else, then I'll place it in Nganzai.

@LTD @GhostofNobodyInParticular where are you placing reinforcements?

2 Cavalry go to Mafa, 2 Artillery and an Infantry in Agatu, and 1 infantry each in my other 3 provinces, leaving 1 Cavalry, and 6 Infantry unplaced, right?

Thanks Bertie for reminding me.

i got distracted this weekend. Will update in a few hours,

Ok, I'll put my 2 artillery and 1 infantry in Vacled.

Let's go straight to Spring...

@GhostofNobodyInParticular - want to trade me that six for a 2?

Nope.

@Bertie Wooster - I'll trade my Queen or 10 for a club or heart respectively, or your 4 of diamonds.
