I have been sent by my monarch, King George II, to observe and report on Nabstrian military manoeuvres. There seems little doubt that the removal of Tonifruttipandi has changed the fortunes of Nabstrian arms. Von Rumpfler may be portly and rather rough of speech but it seems that he can command an army.Fitzbuttresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032727811880366896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176765887907872307.post-16135670756614997472013-02-13T09:04:51.668-08:002013-02-13T09:04:51.668-08:00Without Luigi Tuutifrutticandi as your commander, ...Without Luigi Tuutifrutticandi as your commander, your chances of success have surely improved.

The Enten Gesellshaft now considers itself a political party with real traction and a delegation of its senior members was even admitted to an audience with the Burggrave. Meanwhile, in a strange reversal of Nabstrian dining habits, it is now seen as a patriotic duty to serve the 'traditional' Nabstrian dish 'Enten Apfelsine der Nottelbad' to dinner guests. This is but a poor disguise for the haute cuisine 'Canard a l'orange'. So popular has this dish become that waterfowl of all kinds are becoming scarce in the Burggraviate. However, the merchants of Falkensteinstadt are once again becoming prosperous. The large imports of gunpowder and munitions of all kinds have swelled their coffers while the new trade in the importation of Spanish oranges has almost completely replaced their previous dependency upon the cod-piece traffic. Nabstria is thus enjoying a brief period of elation but much will depend on the result of this new and unexpected war.Fitzbuttresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032727811880366896noreply@blogger.com
