Imagination campaign--Kaiserliche issues reactive Declaration.

 

The Council of State, which rules Kaiserlich until a new Emperor is selected, has reacted to the Declaration of War by Daharra by issuing a reactive Declaration of War. A copy is shown below.  

So, this may be a good time to set up what is going on to readers who are not in the local group.  The five countries represented by players ll at on their own.  S'Gottland, OrbaJoba, Daharra, Fuddland and Kaiserlich are all player controlled. Kaiserlich has an contiguous, semi-independent country of "Koniglich" similiar to the areas of Fuddland known as Poland and the Cossack Land.

Cue the hard to read map of the continent,

 

Ok, if you are still following, the theater of War will be the 4 border squares from the bottom light green and yellow .  Warplan 5x5 map here:

 The top two cards are Kaiserlich(left) and Koniglich. (right)

The border is the transition from 17A and 11B to 14B and 11A

Initial mobilization, troop placements and reports to follow. As well as some admin items for the game.

The remaining areas on the map-the Basque counties, Scandia*, the United Merchants*, Bayerne*, Brunswick*, Hess-Nassau*, and Hanover* are all 'NPC' countries run by the umpire using various rules and subterfuges.  The *'d countries are Electors, a relationship with Kaiserlich where they vote to approve new rulers and contribute units to the defense.

Since Daharra seeks to expand its territory, it has decided to invade Kaiserlich and grab land quickly.
