With his support slipping | away, he can see the end of his reign fast approaching. A few months | into the year, he makes his decision. Commanders loyal to him are to be | quietly placed in charge of vital fortresses, including the Timber Veil. | Dissedents are to be identified and watched. THe house arrest of Alvar | III is tightened. The groundwork is being laid for a preemptive | strike... | | Action 1+2: Lay the Groundwork for Suppression of Foes | Actor: Duke Iyan | Prime Determinent: Authority (+2) | Difficulty: Normal | Mods: -- weak due to lost war | + double action | +2+1-1+(0+1-1+0)=+2 The Duke's orders are followed without disruption. Nothing exceptional, either good or bad. | The Guardians are not inactive this year either, as they continue to try | to recruit new members and muster support for an eventual challenge to | Duke Iyan. | Action 3: Prepare for the coming struggle | Actor: Duke Danan/the Guardians | Prime Determinent: Consent (Mediocre 0) | Difficulty: Hard (-1) | Mods: -- discredited prior to the war | + some nobles (particularly those who lost territory in the | peace treaty) see the Guardians as their only hope to regain it | | 0-1-1+1+(-1+1+0+1)=0 The deadlocked status quo continues. | The Asagmari front presses its Saragor offensive, launching larger and | deeper penetrating raids than last year. | Action 4: Larger raids into Saragor | Actor: the Asagmari Front | Prime Determinent: Military Force (Great +2) | Difficulty: Normal (0) | Mods: + high morale from crushing victory over Razanian Front | + fighting for what they see as their homeland | + last year's success +2+3+(+1-1+1+1)=+7 Oh my (here I scratch my head in wonder). For all intents and purposes, the offensive into Saragor has turned into a rout. If offered, terms of surrender are an almost certianty. ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
