Would have loved 40-26, but unfortunately it was 40-14 (+26) in @chiquichops 's favour. Congrats to a well-played victory: can't really blame the terrain, because it was in my favour having the higher ground. But apart from that admittedly a tricky map. Anyway, "we'll always have Paris" 🤣 I'll be back!
Thanks for correcting that! We'll see, mon ami

The battle for PARIS has concluded with the Burgundians being repulsed with a 40 - 14 = +26 Victory for the King of France.
Now all we need is the result from the NORMANDY battle -- any update here? @kronenblatt @nathangun

Now all we need is the result from the NORMANDY battle -- any update here? @kronenblatt @nathangun
Yes, fresh news from NORMANDY => kronenblatt wins 45-12 (+33), luckily because Nathan's right flank with many knights never got into the fight. Many thanks for the battle.
The King of France attack is repulsed, suffering a Major Defeat (12 - 45 = -33% ).
This wraps up TURN 4 -- this was a turn where ALL the attacks were defeated. 😯

TURN 5
Ok, we have reached the final turn of this mini campaign. Burgundy is still firmly in first place with +2 points and still in a position to capture the French throne by taking PARIS. The English alas, are out of contention, but may still restore some honour in the end.
Let's see how this final turn plays out.
All regions marked with an X are disrupted and cannot be used to launch attacks from (but can defend as per usual)
Here is the Attack Orders Sequence:
1. Burgundy (+43%)
2. King of France (+26%)
3. Toulouse (+26%)
4. King of England (-26%)
@kronenblatt -- you're up first!

The last English army lands in Artois and attacks the French there. Cargol will fight this battle.
