GM Notes
To ease the
transition all of you have had your ISD raised a point and auto rule is set but
this won't last so get your houses in order
On turn 62
Your ISD's will be set to the correct levels
On turn 63
Auto Rule will be turned off
On turn 64 I
will do a massive CCR check, which I haven't been doing to allow you time to
get your houses in order. All regions outside CCR will take multiple checks.
Please take a
look at the map in your area and let me know of any differences between it and
what is on your stat sheet

Because I
don't like "Magic" Numbers I am using percentages for basically all
bonuses i.e. normally for every 5 ap extra spent on an action you get a +1. Now
each ap is worth +0.20. So 5ap still gets you +1 but instead of 4ap being
useless it has an 80% chance of getting you a +1. Same basic system is used for
gp bonuses.

The Intel
assault on the Nutqak Horde
Having decided his army was not ready to meet the Nutqak in
open battle Luqe turned to his massive Intel apparatus aided by the Great Wheel
who were rather annoyed by all the destroyed shrines.
The assaults on the government of the Nutqak failed
miserably. The attempt on the Khans life just barely failed due to quick action
by his bodyguards. The Khans right hand
man was not so lucky. The Khans heir was kidnapped but the attempt on his
daughter failed. Close to 2,500gp were stolen from the treasury. Luqe even ran
an operation against the ally who died last turn. Why I don't know. Then the
mutinies started. (see Nutqak)

OF BURMA
Barttholum,
King of Burma
Diplomacy:Dvaravat (ne)
Jemonga was expanded
Royal roads were built from Kunming to Paise to Tai'Li
Barttholm decided that he would continue his war with the
Khemer. So first thing he did was send
all his assassins off to kill the king of Khemer. The kings’ bodyguard hardly
had to work up a sweat to stop the pathetic fools. Bartholum then gathered up
every able body in the country and went off to kill the Khemer Dog. He marched into Surin with 185,000 men at
which point the
Khemere assassins waiting for the first invading army
struck. Having a little better luck
then there Burmese counter parts they managed to wound Barttholum just as the
battle was starting. The Khemer had 65,000 men over a quarter of them
elite. The Burmese advantages of
Cavalry and numbers were cancelled by the Khemer's being on friendly territory
and their elite troops. The Khemer had a slight advantage in overall
leadership. While the Khemer inflicted more losses on the Burmese about 10% of
the Khemer versus 20% for the Burmese the Khemer troops just weren't interested
in staying arround and pulled back into Battamdang.
The Burmese then
commenced their siege of the city. Charge went the Burmese. Splat went the
Burmese. Close to 80% of the army died on the walls inflicting on marginal
casualties on the Khemer. Barrtholum
decided the call off the next attempt since he wanted an army left and
commenced a passive siege.

The Steppe Report
After 20 years of hordes racing back and forth across them
the steppes are pretty well empty except for a few spots. It will probably be a
few generations before anymore really big Hordes appear.
NUTQAK HORDE
( ? )
THE MUTINY
The troops were in
an uproar rumor had it that the Khan was thinking of going back into the meat
grinder of china looking for more loot.
Why? Each man had more than his
horse could carry anyway. The Khan
heard the muttering and told the men that while he lived the Horde would go
where he told it to. Well the men said
that was easily fixed. So splat went
the Khan. Then the men needed to decided who was going to lead them and it
looked like this might take awhile to decide. Then somebody said why don't we
get away from here and back out on the steppes and decide. So the whole Horde moved off to Khingan on
the northern steppes picking up a few new members on the way. There they
settled down to discuss who was to rule the Horde now. Some of Udabei's
relatives thought they obviously should but after the first few who put
themselves forward were chopped up into little bits the rest decided to forget
the idea. After awhile it was decided that whoever could get the most men to
support him would be the new Khan. So some of the most popular soldiers were
put forward and the men gathered around the one they liked best. The smaller groups would form alliances with
larger and join them. Until it was down to two groups one slightly larger than
the other. The leader of the larger group saw it was easily possible that the
Horde could destroy itself and after a meeting with the leader of the smaller
group it was decided he would lead and the leader of the smaller group would be
his right hand man and take over if anything happened to him. [ The birth of
Horde democracy 1 sword = 1 vote :-) ]
Now it was time to
decide what to do. No more china that was for sure. He liked his new job and
the things that went with it like breathing etc. A quick trip to visit the
tribes on the Pohai border before he headed back across the Northern steppes to
end the turn in Naiman with about 650,000 men.
TAVARHOD
HORDE
Kawan
OPEN FOR A
PLAYER
Kwan decided he wouldn't be shown up by the Nutqak and their
visit to China so he decided to kill a nation. He chose Khalistan since it was
close by. But to prove he was better than
the Nutqak he decided to only send part of his army 400,000 men. He and the
rest would journey around the steppes looking for more allies.
The Death of Khalistan
The main part of the invasion group was led by the ally from
Cim with over 250,000 men he headed strait for the capital. He was meet by
several assassins but all were easily caught and killed. Darshan pulled his
troops back to his homeland to make a final defense there. With not even
100,000 troops he was badly outnumbered.
Not to mention the fact that when added together all the available
Khalistani leaders were barely the equals of the Cim leader not to mention his
help. It was over in one bloody round the entire Khalistani army was dead
15,000 nomads were dead. Every Khalistani leader was dead or captured. The
nomads then split up and started enslaving and raiding the entire country every
region in the country except Himchal, Vats and Janapur was gutted. Many refugees were seen headed toward Tanjore
and Buyid fleeing the terror of the nomads.
In the ensuing raids and enslavement operation the Cim ally and one
other leader were both killed. The allied troops fully joined the Horde on
their leaders death. (GM note yes you
can get killed doing raid orders)
Kwan meanwhile headed out looking for more allies First he
made a loop out to Irysh and back to Tarhain. Picking up new members for his
horde. He then headed out through Betpak, Ryatka, Saraba, Ayguz, Chuguchak and
Ishikotrau picking up new members. He then headed down through Kuldja to Tarhim
and then through Yarkand into Khotan and Adakh. From there he moved into Punjab to join the rest of his Horde.
The Tavarhod sit among the ruins of Lahore with close to 1,000,000 men.
On a side note Kwan found the ruins of a very old city in
Siber. Many nomads from the surrounding area started coming to see the ruins
and over time the location became a natural area for the nomads to meet and
trade.

THE KRITIC
EXARCHATE OF GREECE
Justinian,
Exarch of Crete, Basileus of the Greeks
Diplomacy: None
Crete was colonized to 2gp.
Paphlagonia was cultivated.
Justinian once
again sent Zemarchos to try and take Constantinople. Zemarchos was reinforced so his total force was over 30,000
men. Versus the 17,000 men from
Constantinople. The Constantinoplese
had a significant advantage overall due to being on the defensive. In the
initial contact about 12% of the Constantinoplese and 25% of the Greeks were
lost. Zemarchos barley held his forces together and prepared for another round
of fighting. Some innovative tactics on Zemarchos's part let him get in some
good licks on the Constantinoplese whose morale broke and they retreated into
the city leaving Zemarchos who was wounded to deal with the leaderless forts.
Which were taken care of in one quick round. Final losses were about 30% for
the Constantinoplese had over 40% for the Greeks but they had taken the region
and could now passive siege the city. Unfortunately Zemarchos lacked sufficient
troops to isolate the city.
In other news Missionaries sent into Phaphalagonia were
finally successful in converting a small portion of the people. Then the
missionaries from the Patriarch showed up and finished the job.
Jerome Justinian's son had a son in 1203 but he was dead in
