Report from South-West

Aryaman 49% vs 60% Deadtorius (+11%)

After a long and bitter fight, the cause of the King prevailed. The cavaliers didn´t show up their usual superiority, as the parliamentarian cavalry is getting tougher, but in the end the relentless fire of the musket battalions broke the rebel infantry. Now the South-West is in complete control under the King.

A hard fought battle and a deserving win. My congratulations to general Aryaman

I'll get the numbers updated today. We need a new Blathergut (if such a thing is possible!) so if you know anyone, get asking!

Apologies for the delay! Early '44 results are up, scheming can begin for Late '44. I am happy for both factions to appoint their own CiCs (or have a coup...). Does anyone have any possible replacement for BG?

Keyth, SW has reported. It was a -1 Royalist win for a total of -10.

Map update. This was the position after Late 1643.

Here is the latest situation after Early 1644.

Yep, got that in.

Do we have have volunteer CiCs or shall I nominate some people?

I suspect a lot of people (me included) are not looking for the burden of command.

I'd go back to previous CiC's who have been successful! And rather than change it every half year, stick with the same one. The problem does not appear to be a surplus of people who want to be CiC but a defecit. Anyone who is willing to do it is qualified in my book!

I am very happy with this as a solution but if no-one steps up I will assign the role (but not to anyone who has explicitly stated that they don't want the job ).

I'll be glad to share the load with someone else to keep this campaign running , how about you Dead ?

If no one else wants the purple, I will volunteer to be the CinC for the rest of the campaign.

Given that man a command tent and a jazzy feather!

Alas I am afraid at this time I working on very early mornings and a permanent state of almost asleep. I am working these days in the great concrete and asphalt cancer of southern Ontario otherwise known as Toronto. Very early mornings to try and make it a somewhat reasonable commute. Not sure I am up to holding the reigns of command at present. Thanks for the offer though.

The only problem is Aryaman is one of the smelly disgusting Royalists on the other side !

Well volunteered Sir! Now all we need is a Parliamentary commander and a new BG for our side....

Who said "no" last? Pick him!

Not me!
I'm aged and almost doddering.....

I try and do it on Monday unless someone else can do it sooner
