Known World 901 Playtest

[David E. Cohen]

I have been remiss in posting the adjudications. My apologies. I will try to get caught up today.

[David E. Cohen]

All right. Below should be the clean and complete version of the adjudication. [crosses fingers]


A lot of action, and a complex and interdependent adjudication. All orders in and timely, though one of you did get a set in one minute prior to deadline. [eye roll/chuckle]

Deadline for Fall Retreat 904 will be Thursday, 6 May 2010, 8:00 p.m., New York Time, but I will adjudicate early if I get the orders.

From Maurice's Strategikon:

Letters ought to be sent to deserters from our side who have joined the enemy in such a way that the letters will fall into the enemy's hands. These letters should remind the deserters of the prearranged time for their treachery, so that the enemy will become suspicious of them, and they will have to flee.

The general is at fault if most of the army is destroyed in a single battle.


Press: Yes. :^)

Minor corrections, from the last turn:

The move of F Rastrakuta-Malabar Sea should have been marked as failing--the map was correct.

Also, a few corrections to the unit locations in the unit lists have been made. The map should correctly reflect everything.


Deadline for Winter 904 will be Sunday, 9 May 2010, Noon, New York Time, but I will adjudicate early if I get the orders.

From Maurice's Strategikon:

After a victory, we must not become careless, but be on our guard all the more against surprise attacks from the vanquished.

A general who takes nothing for granted is secure in war.

I had four separate requests/notes for people traveling/vacationing/studying, etc., so we will have a long turn. Deadline for Spring 905 will be Tuesday, 25 May 2010, Noon, New York Time.

From Maurice's Strategikon:

Envoys from the enemy must not be treated disrespectfully, even when our forces are much stronger.

Our commander ought to adapt his stratagems to the disposition of the enemy general. If the latter is inclined to rashness, he may be enticed into premature and reckless action; if he is on the timid side, he may be struck down by continual surprise raids.
