Press
Florence: Damn, the inevitability of demise in a central position...
Pope – All: That green monster is pretty scary!
Notes
Regardless of where Avignon retreats, he will no longer control any of his home cities and will thus be eliminated. Given the nearly premature ending of the game, I will rule that Avignon retreats to garrison, thus Milan will not get credit for the city this turn nor will he receive the income therefrom.
