Does history always repeat itself? The Stagonian army is beginning to wonder.
Those with a long memory will recall that the Tippelbruder campaign was in large part foiled by torrential rains which flooded much of the field reducing the available frontage to such an extent that the raid couldn't succeed.
Sadly the weather gods have once again turned against our wonderful Stagonian Field Force. Their expedition to the Grand Duchy of Stollen, which had been going so well, has again been thwarted "due to a sudden and protracted cloudburst, both armies retire from the field with no further fighting possible thanks to wet powder and sodden ground that prevents any movement for cavalry or guns."
Fortunately the primary goal of the expedition had already been accomplished. The lumber supply and working parts of the Sawmill had already been loaded upon wagons and was on its way to our glorious realm.
Thus, while the unfortunate weather has prevented our capturing the town of Saegewerkdorf, our forces will disengage and escort our "spoils of war" back to the Kingdom of Stagonia so that Koenig Ludwig (and his Lady Duchess) can have everything needed to see a proper "Royal Rack" constructed.
Therefor all Stagonia may rejoice at another triumph of Stagonian arms.

(Note -- Stokes game room has flooded and his game table needed to be disassembled so that the water damage could be dealt with prior to his trip to Germany.)

ah, flooding basements, I know them so well. I hope the saw mill will be a new staple on your gaming table.
Argh!
Just as that ice storm destroyed a lot my gaming plans ...
But the damage here seems to be a tad more serious.
Hope Stokes place will be alright.

That sounds like a good description of the outcome, fitting the circumstances and adding some "color" to the whole affaire.
From Stoke's latest report sounds like der Sollenkellar will survive. :-)
