Spring 1455
Deadline/Summer 1455 1/3 Tuesday
Three major wars are in evidence. The continuing war between France and Milan is mostly quiet, helped in part by the continued disorder in the Duke's household. The Pope goes after a strongly fortified Florence, while Naples launches a strong attack on a Turk who is not well prepared. Venice and Austria are not fighting, but Venice is rattling a saber in Austria's direction.
Fall, 1454 Retreats
Austria retreats A Croatia to Carniola
Florence retreats A Arezzo to garrison

Summer 1455 Plague
Good Year – No Plague!
Press
Austria – Milan: Beautiful view I have here from Trent. I'm good.
Austria – Venice: I get it, I get it...
Florence – Gods: May plague hit the Pope but be gentile to your faithful Florentine deciples.
Florence – Pope: I hope everyone noted how you blatantly lied in the press. You have revealed that your word means nothing.
Florence – Venice: Still hoping you can help me out.
France – Austria: Your chance to join in the plunder of Milan may have to wait because the Venetians has joined the plundering, and the late Duke's younger Brother has rallied the Armies. If only you had moved last season, we would have been in better position to deal with Venice. I will continue to support your Army in Tyrolea into Milan as long as I can. Do not show mercy on Milan, his Country is in ruins, and we must act to solidify our borders against Venice.
France – Milan: I'm sorry you have to take over a doomed Country which your late Brother lead into ruin, but I can not stop the Tide of War. I will promise to rule your Provinces with a gentle hand.
France – Naples: I will agree to your terms so long as your Fleets do not enter the Ligurian Sea or the Gulf of Lions.
France – Venice: An opportunist. The late Duke wasn't even buried before you attack. Can two aggressors coincide?
Papacy – Florence: I am extracting penance for your earlier transgression.
Turks – Naples: You know, I'm trying very hard to work with you here, but you aren't making it easy! Hovering next to my center so I have to waste the unit and just leave it parked there is not a good plan. I have no ill intentions towards you, but you need to let me concentrate elsewhere.
Venice – Austria: Where you retreat to tells if you friend or foe, we see with this report.
Venice – France: I backdoor Milan, you front. Don't help Austria too much, please. Keep Austria in fight with you against Milan, ok?
Venice – Papacy: I know you fleet like to sail at sea, but not good here in UA, move to land, or to LA and have fun fight with Turkey maybe?
Venice – Turks: Look like my handfull with Austria, Milan & maybe Papacy. I hold line at those I now have, no come south more. Early press wrong my account, sorry. U right, Bos is turks...Ok you & I?
