Ayton 2022 ~ The Opposing Armies

[World2dave]

After much logistical manoeuvring and last-minute changes/panic, the two mighty coalitions in the War of the Läwrissian Succession can be confirmed as follows:

The YARP Alliance, made up of those supporting Yannick as Ascendant Royal Prince

Your ruler has ‘The Divine Right of Kings’ carved on his blue-blooded stone heart, so therefore you fight to ensure that Yannick, as eldest Prince, becomes King.

Count Belisarius ~ Duchy of Altefritzenburg ~ Duke Otto Fritz von Hesseburg
Goat Major ~ Commonwealth of Brest-Titovsk ~ Field Marshall Bosco Jankovic
Tim.W ~ Duchy of Holmcast ~ Prince August
World2dave ~ Grand Duchy of Medetia ~ General Barolo
Purple ~ Prussia ~ General Flappnitz
John Rich ~ Prussia ~ General Count von Ludwig
Buff ~ Empire of Russlavia and Duchy of Borscht ~ General Count Notgudinoff
Peeler ~ Aytonia ~ Lord Peeler of Ayton


The League of NARP, comprising those who support Nicolas as Ascendant Royal Prince

Your nation is determined to see Läwrissia join the ranks of the Enlightened Kingdoms, which can only come from the ascension of the forward-thinking (and conveniently trade-friendly) Prince Nicolas.

Tim Hall ~ Britannia ~ General Sir Edward Hangem-Floghem
Jeremy ~ Albion ~ The Lord Honourable General Holden McGroin
Essex Boy ~ Gateway Alliance ~ General Leigh-Pickled
Pemble ~ Duchy of Rabennisten ~ Baron Henning von Wolfjager
GaryP ~ St Paulin ~ Comte de Vacqueyras
MarshalNey ~ Wheyeydia ~ Viscount Gascoigne
Alex T ~ Austria ~ Count Scarbados
Darklord ~ Prussia St Paulin ~ General Housen

In the true spirit of coalition armies everywhere, on the eve of battle each side will elect a Commander-in-Chief to lead them to glory or defeat. Each CinC will then nominate a successor to take over if they fall in battle.

Further information, including deployment, etc, will be given to players on the day.

There must be some mistake, you have Peeler on the side of the Enlightened Kingdoms?

[World2dave]

I thought it would be fun to watch him have to roleplay 'enlightened'!
Actually I have a swap to do, with Richie moving to NARP to draw together the collections a bit better. So I can swap Peeler to join us YARP gammons!

Dave, was the bank transfer I sent you not to be on EB’s side lower than most of the other players? I can do a top up if you like.

We could give everyone a good laugh and appoint Leigh-Pickled as CinC, then run a sweep to determine on which turn his deputy has to take over.

Yes, you missed off a zero. Silly boy.

Well, you need to have someone keeping an eye on those free-thinking, liberal elite, commie barstewards. Preferably someone who knows how to use a big stick....
