Emperor_krk: I'm slowly reading through your AAR - great stuff. I don't know how similar my Mecklenburg's destiny will be to your Pomerania's, but I hope I can match it in scope anyway!
Miral: Actually minotaurs can do lots of things - hopefully this AAR will be a valuable educational tool for revealing some of their lesser-known habits and capabilities...
Chieg Ragusa: The nice thing about northern Germany at this stage is that the situation is fairly fluid. Being opportunistic almost always pays!
billy bob: I was trying to work out how Meck could reach Tom without the "cover" of looking like he was going to a New Year's fancy dress party. And then I thought "No, he just gets stopped by the police and Tom has to bail him out." Problem solved! Well, of course the next problem is how Tom actually does bail him out, but that's the next update...
stnylan: And here I am back in my favourite Paradox game too!
J.Passepartout: I wasn't thinking about the minotaur's last period of incarceration in relation to his arrest, but maybe I can use that...
Deus: The Marseille police in general are a pretty hardy lot - it takes a lot to surprise them.
Chief Ragusa: Testing for mad cow disease
Sounds very realistic to me! Hmm - you can tell when an AAR is going slow when people post twice between updates...
CatKnight: Quite right - but as I say, these guys aren't fazed.
billy bob, Duke of Wellington: Yes, I think Meck is still something of a novice when it comes to disguise, but he does have other non-violent talents which can compensate as you will see.
billy bob: Hmm - you can tell when an AAR is going slow when people post three times between updates...
OK, the next update is mostly written so it may be up today or tomorrow.
