Rex Tutonicorum - An Altmark/Brandenburg CKII AAR - Count to King

[undercovergeek]

Another result of a piss poor council member - the tax payers get upset

[undercovergeek]

Thank god for that - 6 years after entering Lubeck my man finally forges the necessary documents, and its time to expand the realm

In the bottom right a good majority of those previous wars have gone the way of the independent provinces, the HRE is much reduced in Northern Italy

[undercovergeek]

With baited breath we declare war on Lubeck, our forces are tiny but the mercenary piggy bank is full if needs be

[undercovergeek]

The might of Altmark rises - all 350 of them!

[undercovergeek]

390 Lubeck-ians arise and defeat the Altmark forces, the Saxon Band is summoned to do the job properly

[undercovergeek]

.........and with that the province is taken - our lands are doubled, we have a few more men and a bit more money - first rung on a very, very long ladder!

[undercovergeek]

.....aah the trappings of success, recognised for my awesome book keeping talents at last i get to work for the Duke, if only there was a 'stab him while he's looking at the accounts' option

[undercovergeek]

Scanning through the glitterati of Medieval Germany i spy a lady with claims on the Duchy of Meissen, i betrothe her to Junior, when shes adopted into the family we can press the claims on her behalf and they'll be passed onto my grandson

[undercovergeek]

Here she is, and under her portrait are the claims to the County, and Duchy of Meissen

[undercovergeek]

For 50 prestige, how can i refuse? There is always a very small chance of falling off a horse or getting maimed in combat but ill go with the flow

[undercovergeek]

An increase in my Martial ability is not to be sniffed at - ill take that as a great success

[undercovergeek]

I have no idea what has triggered this, and i have no idea where its going, for now i go with the 'secret will soon be mine' option - lets see what happens

[undercovergeek]

Top right - Junior catches smallpox, please dont die, please dont die, please dont die!!

[undercovergeek]

Crap, thats me and the heir! Smallpox and Typhoid stalk the lands around Lubeck, Holstein and Altmark - fingers crossed

To the right of the notification, in Stettin, you can see the Mecklenburg juggernaut of 1981 soldiers - keep an eye on it

[undercovergeek]

Saved - i hope.......

The Mecklenburg juggernaut just got wiped out by the HRE, literally destroyed. There is noone at home to defend the lands........................
