Welcome back to the report on the game of war. This is where I chronicle the happenings each week of the Situationist Summer Mega-Game, the game of war.

This week we have our first alliance dissolution, some combat, and a medal to give out!

And as ever you can check out the board here to see the current state of play.

The Order of Battle

The turn order was:

Umbrella Corps Michiel de Ruyter House of Haltwhistle Southern Snowcones Count Guibert Eyeballs Rabble Ragnar

The wolves of Haltwhistle made their first kill on the hunt, before the eyeballs could reinforce their troop. But it wouldn't have made a difference anyway, the wolf charge is too powerful.

The House of Haltwhistle and the Eyeballs have been approached for comment.

DISSOLUTION!!

The alliance between the House of Haltwhistle and the Rabble is no more! The House of Haltwhistle has officially terminated the concordat.

Both sides have been approached for comment.

Special Award for Innovation

However it isn't all bad for the Eyeballs, I noticed something very interesting in their move this week that I'd like to draw attention to.

The Eyeballs's relay at square 929 (or S30) is relaying a supply line that comes from a relay which is relaying a supply line that comes from a relay which is relaying a supply line that comes from an arsenal, a nicely complicated state of affairs. Elegant use of the board guys! (And some note that the Rabble is helping with this as well)

Next turn, get those moves in for 20th August at 10pm

And keep sending communiques and ideas back and forth.

See you next week!
