Ok, I have my bid and orders for Autumn prepared.

Please message me your bid and orders.

@Bertie Wooster

@GhostofNobodyInParticular

Ok, I'm bidding 3.

My army in Chibok moves to Shani, and my army in Damboa will defend. (4 coins)

GhostofNobodyInParticular

Bid: 4.

Orders:

The army at Agatu moves to Etung, the army at Logo moves to Damboa.

Bertie Wooster:

I bid 4.

Jere and Ygep move to Nganzai. Nganzai defends. Obybra moves to Chibok. Yala moves to Katsina. (5 coins)

So we have one battle in Damboa.

Denn Grylls defends with 12 infantry, 2 artillery. (2 rerolls: MDL, Defence)

GNIPs attacks with 18 infantry, 4 artillery, 4 cavalry, and a Hero. (3 rerolls: Artillery, Cavalry, Hero)

In terms of bids, the order is Bertie, GNIPs, LTD. We each get one pick.

My preference is Hero, Agent, then who cares, really? Death comes to us all.

My preference is City, Militia, Village, Hero, Agent, Culture.

My preference is City, Militia, Village, Hero, Agent, Culture. With that in mind, I assume the choices go as follows?

1. Bertie chooses a City.
2. I chose a City.
3. LTD chooses a Hero.
4. Bertie chooses Milita
5. I choose Militia
6. LTD chooses an Agent
7. Bertie chooses Militia
8. I choose a Village
9. LTD chooses an Agent
10. Bertie chooses a Village
11. I choose an Agent
12. LTD chooses a Culture+1
13. Bertie chooses a Culture+1

Meaning that in the end

@Bertie Wooster gets 1 City, 2 Milita, 1 Village, and 1 Culture+1,
I get 1 City, 1 Militia, 1 Village, and 1 Agent,
@LTD gets 1 Hero, 2 Agents, and 1 Culture+1

right?

Seems right. On to Springtime?

The battle is still unresolved.

The battle at Damboa is resolved - 5 Denn Grylls infantry destroyed, 3 GNIP infantry destroyed.

The Denn Grylls army is unable to retreat, and surrenders en masse.

And now it's SPRINGTIME, for Bertie, and G-eee-Nips!

{And yes, I'm as confused as everyone else. I have no idea what is going on. Somehow my decks have gotten mixed? I'll pretend it is deliberate. Yes, that is what I will do. Nothing to see here.}

We have to place stuff, right?

2 artillery and 2 cavalry go to Damboa. My remaining 2 Cavalry go to Hawul, my 7 infantry go three to Agatu, and one each to Logo, Etung, Vacled and Ikom. My militia goes to Damboa.

My City replaces my Village in Hawul, my new Village goes to Ikom.

My 2 cavalry and 1 artillery go to Nganzai.

My village goes to Ygep, then replace that village with a city. Two militia to Jere.

You can do that? In that case, I want my village to go to Etung, replace that village with my city, and place the militia there.

Seems logical to me, they've got the same timing window.

@Bertie Wooster - I'll trade you my 2 of Spades for a diamond.

If you don't agree, I'll trade my 4 Kings for 16, my 2 Jacks and my 2 eights for 8, my four, six, and nine of diamonds for 9, my queen and six of hearts for 6, for a total of 40, and leaving me with a 2 of spades.

Otherwise, I'll trade in the diamond with the four-six-nine and get 43.

@GhostofNobodyInParticular I'll take that trade. Take my 3 of diamonds.

I'll sell my two spades, three clubs, and three hearts for 16 coins.

I'm not sure this maths is correct - four Kings = 16, two jacks, two 8 s = 8

The two hearts (Queen and 6) = 4, not 6.

The four diamonds (3, 4, 6, 9) = 8, not 12.

So 32 coins?

Unless I've missed something...

I will hold on to my cards for a future that is not coming...

Right, I missed the requirement for 'straight' for the 3, 4, 6, and 9. . .

Oh well. Still not bad. And I get more from my 4 cities and 3 villages.

Ok, so sum up your cash and prepare your orders...

I got 16+7, so 23 coins.

I get 32 + 11 + the 50% bonus rounded down of 5 + the preexisting 3 = 51.

So can we send orders now?

Yes

Orders are in.

Denn Grylls:
Shani will forage.

League:
Katsina - move to Yala.
Nganzai: move 5c, 2a, H to Chibok. The rest move to Jere.
Chibok: defend.

Greedy Nobles:
The armies at Hawul and Vacled march to Agatu, the army ar Agatu goes to Etung. The unit at Ikom goes to Logo, and Logo's unit goes to Damboa. The armies at Etung and Damoboa forage.
