Or, as the Mongolian histories record - travelling overland to avoid the possibility of drunken teenagers!

• KiwiWarlord moves overland to Kashii

Hojo (Lascar)forces defeat Yuan barbarian hordes (BobGnoush) threatening Dazaifu 63/44.

• Ludendorf takes Meinohama after 4 days without a challenge

• Lascar takes Dazaifu for the Hojo

• Unable to retreat to Katsumoto, Bob retreats to Saka...Yuan force adverse weather effect not yet revealed

The treacherous, slimy, and monstrous Ludendorf (who views all of those cognomens as complements and titles) moves to Koshudake. He even has 'Home of Ludendorf the Treacherous, Slimy and Monstrous (Kaito make sure you change slimy and monstrous around when you carve it as it sounds better the other way)' carved on the walls of Meinohama castle.

...needless to say he also had the carver fired. Specifically, fired from the castle walls.

BobGanoush will move to Munakata Shrine

• KiwiWarlord takes Kashii unopposed

• KiwiWarlord moves overland to Munakata shrine once again

• Yuan force adverse weather effect revealed (19%). Hence, Bob must take 2 units of raw troops

[Ed]

• Meinohama stays loyal 47%

The esteemed council of elders of Meinohama, after recounting the votes realise they should not have counted them at dusk under dimmed torch light without their spectacles. Due to misinterpreting the result (47%) as a win for the Ludendorf sympathisers, they've reversed their decision and promptly beheaded their secretary, clerk and all those senile elders that voted for Ludendorf. Moreover, the council have handed over the administration of the docks to "the young-en's" due to pressure and threats from teenage party-goers.

To be fair, facing minimal opposition from the outside world only to succumb to my own domestic incompetence is right on brand for the average would-be autocrat.

'GDod sails to take back Izuhara from Alex, who sneakily took it while I was occupied with enraged monks - Yuan force adverse weather effect yet to be revealed'...sadly I am detained on Komoda otherwise we would prepare an appropriate welcome. As an aside Alan who I am battling on Komoda is off for a week, although, if his internet is up to scratch he'll try to get turns in. My Hojo brethren should plan their moves accordingly seeing that I'm detained.

• Ludendorf , the self-proclaimed slimy, and monstrous, takes Koshudake after spending 4 days idle outside it's walls waiting for the city fathers to decide whether to swing open the gates (...and 2 extra days it seems visiting some very seedy quarters within the city)

Ludendorf the Slimy and Monstrous once again moves to Meinohama in the hopes that this time it might stick. He takes with him a large stock of sake and trading cards to ply the council of drunken teenagers.

Ludendorf the Slimy and Monstrous, I presume sails to Meinohama via Nokonoshima, rather than going overland, So, he can sale his sake (His catchphrase - buy a gallon of sake, get a free trading card) to teenagers....now that's monstrous!

It is sad news that Alex has been imprisoned in a dark, smelly cellar with a broken lapdog (ie laptop) on Komoda. He cannot continue his support of the Hojo clan, and his followers on Komoda have dispersed, or fled to Katsumoto.

On the bright side, the treacherous, slimy and monstrous Ludendorf's father has demanded he declare for the Hojo and stop messing about expanding his property investments at the expense of the Hojo. Henceforth,

• Ludendorf's possessions now belong to the Hojo

• Ludendorf will now acknowledge and fight for the Hojo Shogunate.

• However, the stain of his treachery means that elders of all cities, ports and shrines will continue to have a 50% chance of rebelling once taken.

Sorry for not checking in until now... uh, what?

Oh, apparently I'm good again now... uh, off to Imari I guess? That part of the map looks rather neglected by everyone.
