We fought out the Battle of Mann last night between Wales and Scotland. I will defer to one of the combatants to provide a full report, but the outcome was a 4-1 win for the Scots who (after the Irish have their turn, in which they can do effectively nothing because they sent a contingent to the Mann battle) proceeded to complete their year-long subjugation of Mann by finally reducing its inhabitants to obedience.
I will provide an updated map over the weekend (and update the army lists and prestige totals). The Normans, the Welsh, and the Scots will be able to refill their armies from their reserves over the winter, but the Vikings (who can recruit only 3 elements), the English (who can recruit 3 but still need to lose 2 after a previous defeat), and the Norse Irish (who can recruit only 2 elements) will have some tough choices.
Also, could the Norse Irish please clarify their current status: have they voluntarily submitted to vassalship, and if so to whom? I have heard rumours, but I have seen no formal declaration by the Irish themselves.
Bryan will provide the skewed battle report but the final was 4-2. 4wb losses to the Welsh. 1 LH and 1 Wb lost for the Scots.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the correction, Frank. My notes are at home.
ReplyDeleteArmy lists and prestige points have been revised to account for the battle and the Scots' subsequent capture of Mann.

ReplyDeleteJan, Blogger is throwing me errors so I'm replying here to your question on the blog about the Norse Irish status...
The Norse Irish are in fact vassals of the Welsh. Should have made that more clear. That was the intent of the previous posting about my new "benevolent overlord."
