Hi,

The raw orders for the February 1098 turn follow. The
Random Events will be along in a following die roll
email...

*Fatimid Caliphate

Everyone continues to sit 'n defend.

Assassination: Head Infidel beseiging Antioch
Treachery: to Al-Afdal
Reinforcements: to Pelusium

*Syrians - Ridwan

In any case, I don't have any orders as we just want to wait out the Winter

If something comes up from random events, I'll take care of it this

any siege attrition loss from the field treasury.

The English fleet holds in Latakia.

I send 5 bezants as a bribe to the new fleet in Famagusta

I send 20 bezants to the Northern Frank, to Robert, as a bribe to pay for
siege losses.

I send 5 bezants to the German, to Godfrey, as a bribe for siege losses.

I send 50 bezants to the Southern Franks as a bribe, to Raymond, for siege

These bezants are from the Famagusta city treasury.
