Warning. There is a German galley escorting a horseman 2 southeast of Midgard's bananas. The target is Midgard. 

The Outer Islands Alliance stands with you, I have declared war on Singaboy and the the OIAS Rocinante is now defending the coastal approach to Midgard. Best of luck defending the city!

An expeditionary force to support you can be deployed south of Toronto if you require ground-based assistance. I will await your response before embarking them.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'd already spotted his other galley and warrior to the north of there, so I wasn't completely caught unawares any chance you can smack into one of the horses while it's still in the water? I have both horse and swords tech one turn out still, but I do have ocean going 30 strenght longships in the area so I'll try to hit him in transit.

Singaboy, now is your chance to clarify intentions, if not I'm assuming immediate state of war between us and start sinking transports.

You may deploy South of Toronto btw, Oledavy after all that's what Open Borders means right?

Ask me for horses on your turn. You may have my source for the duration of this war.

I'm afraid I can't smack the horses. The nearest horse is covered by a galley. I briefly debated moving past his units while we were still at peace, but more than likely that would have only ended with my galley being jumped on by more opposing galleys and destroyed. Instead, I ended up smacking his galley for 36 dmg. 

However, I can prevent Midgard from being put under siege, and delay the landing of the southern horse using ZoC. 

My expeditionary force is on the way. It will be some time before it arrives though.

@Oledavy, took you long enough to figure out I was the Suzerain of Stockholm. I was expecting you declaring war much sooner, after I started building districts. Hard to mask earning double GP points for all my districts.

For everybody else, I am not longer Suzerain thanks to oledavy, so no need to declare war to find them. They are located in the north off my northwest coast.

Anyone want to stop the German Blitz? Now's the time! I'll lose a city on the interturn to Singaboy.

I've hooked up iron this turn. Do you want me to offer you anything before I send the turn on?

[Singaboy]

The science lead I am seeing is hugely unhealthy for the rest of us.

Anyone who is interested in an alliance against Imperial Japan, I am open to it. Do not wait until his science is dwarfing all of us.

[oledavy]

@Jpper, after your turn, could you update me on what the situation around Asgard looks like? Does the terrain favor you or Singaboy?

I have an archer coming in from the west near Jotunheim, in addition to the units coming down the road from Toronto.

I strongly recommend you sit your sword in the city to ensure the initial horse attacks do limited damage. Will you be able to maintain control of the coast to the east of the city with longships and prevent it from being put under siege?

[Japper007]

I'll speak to my positions after Singaboys turn rolls over, I might give too much away otherwise.

[oledavy]

@Jpper007, let me know if you need me to adjust the positioning of any of my units. My archer on the road from Toronto will likely take up a position west of the Holy Site. 

I feel like you and I need to spam this thread with some propaganda at this point.
