GM Notes
The GREAT CCR CHECK
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
My email is phillipbaird@sprintmail.com
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.

Noh Kas took his army and marched back to Khmer hoping that the Burmese would be satisfied now that they had a port on the Gulf of Tonkin and so it seemed at first they would be but then in the middle of 1217 word was received that the Burmese had moved into Nam Pung with over 175,000 men including 20,000 mercs, Noh Kas decided he was going to hold where he was in Khmer.

Spring/Summer 1218 The Naval
Battles
In the Bay of Tunis, Sicily versus Rome and Magyar.
Roman forces have just finished unloading troops to besiege Mahidia when the Sicilian navy
shows up to break the blockade of Palermo by Magyar. Sicily is lead by the Brilliant
Bin Ali Azer with 165 ships mostly standard warships and about 20,000 cavalry as marines
Rome has about 230 ships not counting transports mostly heavy with 16,000 elite
marines. Magyar has about 150 ships mostly heavy with about 20,000 marines of mixed
types. The Romans and Magyar leaders are very average and neither of the countries
is close to the quality of the Sicilian Navy which is one of the finest in the
world. Bin Ali Azer was having a very good day. While he had close to 40% of
his force knocked out of action he disabled close to 70% of the opposing force. The
Roman leader Manius was wounded in the fighting. The Magyar leader under orders to
preserve at least part of his fleet decided to call it a day, Manius looking at all the
transports he could lose thought this was a good idea and somehow they actually managed to
break contact with Bin Ali Azer. Final loses for all parties were the complete loss
of all marines the Romans lost 59 ships, The Magyars lost 39 ships, Sicily lost 25 ships
but captured 25 ships for a net loss of no ships. The Sicilians went on patrol in
the Bay of Tunis, The Magyars went home and the Romans headed off to the Gulf of Lyon and
then Gades to meet up with their army.
In the English Channel, Nafa versus England and Sweden.
Sweden had 44 mixed ships and 12,000 marines under the very capable Beorn assisted by Long
Tooth. England had 95 ships with 2,500 marines under the incompetent Aaron. Nafa
had 150 ships mostly heavy elites with 43,000 Marines under the very able Wencelao aided
by Nabigh. The two forces came together. The Swedes and English had the upper
hand due to the superb Swedish intel services but the mass of the Nafa fleet began to take
its toll by the end of the day both forces had lost over 80%. With both Swedish leaders
wounded. Nabigh wounded and Wuhadj, so recently rescued, dead neither side had the
will to go on in the morning. Final losses all marines dead Nafa 36 ships, England 35
ships and Sweden 9 ships. All forces returned to their own lands.
Summer/Fall 1218 the Battle
of Granada
After finishing in Murcia the Papal forces move into Granada where they are
intercepted by Nafa's reaction force of over 100,000 men. The Papal forces number
nearly that much but the much superior quality of the Nafa forces is very telling. In
one swift bloody round the Papal forces were shattered. The few survivors somehow
manage to retire back to Murcia. Nafa's losses were 2,500 dead. Papal losses
were over 50,000 dead. After regrouping the Papal forces moved back to Catalonia.
Meanwhile, in North Africa the Roman army moved along the coast taking Africa, Kalybia and
Algeria with their cities. Ending the turn in Algeria.
Spring 1220 The Battle of
Gascony
Castilian troops move out to retake Gascony and are intercepted by Nafa's
reaction forces still number over 100,000 men. Castille has almost 100,000
men. At the start of the battle Castillian assassins manage to wound
Muji. After one inconclusive round both sides decided they have had enough and
retire. Nafa's forces back to Portugal and Castille's back to Castille. Dead
were 6,500 Castillian and 4,500 for Nafa.

Late in 1219 Zermachos was approached by the Gregory II patriarch of Constantinople and all EO's. It seemed the troops wanted an end to the siege and had an offer. In exchange for amnesty for them and their families free transit in and out of Constantinople and the right to keep their weapons they would deliver up the city. Zermachos said he would agree so long as they agreed never to use their weapons against Greece or nay other EO province or nation and so it was agreed the troops opened the gates and delivered the city leaders to Zermanchos. Less than a year later both Zermanchos and John were both dead.
