Shame you missed your turn, llamabeast... it could hurt you some, though I have no idea what are the odds at the moment. I know I'd hate it if our victory only came about because of that missed turn.

Perhaps we should just drop the deadline while the war unfolds, just as a safety measure? I'd expect all of us to be reasonable folks playing as soon as possible (well, I unexpectedly turned social butterfly along the way, but learned my lesson), and I know I actually feel worse about dragging my feet when there's no deadline.

Not much to report on the Manx front... I've decided against challenging Ulm's army as my simulations weren't favorable for such a minor province. I've also had the delightful surprise of losing another province due to nasty indies, which should prevent one of Ulm's small armies from crossing into my lands. Even if they do cross, that province is now utterly worthless, so they're more than welcome to it.

Bandar Log actually claimed they were a third-rate power... wonders what that makes me?
