More Movements, whispers and the odd invasion

Before i go into the next battle in the long running campaign.....

I thought i would show the current movements and 'appenings from Olde Albilande:

As things stand:

I thought this time it would be easiest to go through each shire at a time, starting with:

'ROYAL' CRIVENSHIRE

Having taken a ruddy great pasting at Habituals Ridge the Crivenshire 2nd (much reduced!) have retreated in poor order away from The victorious Fossestershire 3rd. Rumor has it that their industrious leader sir Rallaigh of Choppa is hiding with a bodyguard in a hovel somewhere awaiting rescue!. 

   Due to the defeat the 'kinginthemeantimefornow(selfproclaimed) the Earl of Crivenshire has ordered the 3rd army to head off and contain the oncoming Fossestershire forces while he brings up his own 1st army in support. He is relying on promised support from Offenhammeshire to help turn back the oncoming Fossestershire  forces in the West, affording only the 4th army to cut them off.

 FOSSESTERSHIRE

Having driven off the Crivenshire 2nd and pushed into east Crivenshire the Fossestershire 3rd have been ordered to form a beach head for the oncoming invasion just west of Abblebridge. The earls own 1st army moves up to support them. However the leader of the 3rd, sir Physs has become obsessed with hunting down and taking hostage sir Ralligh of Choppa and is expending troops in gorilla actions to find him. In the East the Fossestershire 2nd advance to the Crossing of 'Both-ways' in order to engage the isolated Fossestershire 4th and lead a full invasion backed up as promised by the forces of Offenhammeshire. The Earl is keeping the 4th army in reserve.

OFFENHAMMESHIRE

The earl has massed all but one of his forces on the Crivenshire border, having pledged assistance to both the warring shires his intentions are unknown. 

BURKENSHIRE

Yet to raise their forces Burkenshire looks on. The young earl not prone to warfare 'because all it will do is make the rich richer while the oppressed working classes suffer under the yoke of the crushing feudal structure that keeps them down.....oi, servant, wheres my bloody venison?'. However to the East seas a shadow is rising....the wind whispers the name......'Bitchenmarken'.......

LAMAVIC

......Meanwhile in Lamavic........

   'Aye bhoys, looks like those lan' stealin' BASTARDS are havin' a war withoot us!, that cannie be right 'eh?, i reckon we's expected to invite our 'sels doon the way to join in, whatta yous lot think?!!'.

  Next stop the crossing at 'Both-ways'.......'till next time.....
