Battle Apes: The Code for Battle Apes is 'ba'.

Garrisons: If you have militia units or Force Points garrisoning conquered regions, you may make up the difference from your Force Pools and make the regions protectorate.

Conversion Sheets: If you can send me a copy of what you want your troops converted before the turn is due. I would like to see your converted units by Friday, October 25th.

Fanatic Attribute: All Fanatic nations may pick Warrior Cult instead. If you don't choose, I will assume you are still Fanatic.

National & Universal Objectives: If you have achieved an Objective at the end of a turn, it will be noted in this newsletter under your country's news.

Movement: There will be six (instead of five) action impulses each turn. Movement counts against your action impulses.
Example: Fred Bone leads 30 knights which moves 3 times per turn. Fred can move to three different regions and attack three times for his other 3 actions.

Meta Spell Supplement: Attached to this turn's results is the Meta Spell Supplement which should a part of the 4.1 Rules Supplement.
