Results for Spring, 2001 (Movement)
Dover and Spanish Empire bring foreign aid to France.
A humanitarian effort was spearheaded this spring to bring aid to wartorn French cities. The nearby powers of Spain and Dover divided the French landscape up amongst themselves, then sent military envoys of convoys loaded with food and clean water into areas such as Paris and Amiens.
What a nice gesture! Surely once the operation is over the two militaries will pack up and return back to their respective homelands, right? Right?
Finnish Empire attempts to invent walking boat, results as expected
Finnish King Kimi Jonne Ilola always resented the Vikings and their bogarting of all the hot blonde Norwegian babes. Thus, an invasion was in order.
"By which route should we invade?" said he.
"We could round the southern coast with our fleet," said one advisor.
"We could invade with our army from the north," said the other.
"No they will be expecting that," replied the King. "We shall instead dedicate all our forces to carrying our fleet over the Scandinavian Mountains for a landborn naval assault on the Viking stronghold! It is genius!"
N. Italy bloodlessly takes Rome.
Who knows what conversations may have taken place in dark back rooms? What dealings might have been struck between the Italians and the Carthiginians? With both sides poised to strike on Rome, it would seem that the Italians might have convinced Hannibal to give up on his millenia old quest.
For now the the H's fleets are starting to desert the area for greener pastures (even his fictional one in Apulia), and by greener pastures I mean Spain. And with that the Italians have marched all the way to the Colosseum without so much as a drunken street brawl.
UBP conquers Bulgaria in classic pincer attack
Bent on revenge for the Baltic Teleportation Mishap, the UBP launched a full-scale assault on the poorly-defended city of Sofia. This act of aggression seems to have been a suprise for the 1337 Ascendancy, who were not maneuvering for a counter-attack nor to provide an escape route for the trapped forces.
The first war casualties of this new millenium (which technically began in 2001) have been inflicted. 1337 flags will be lower to half-mast on Monday.

Red Flags:
Carthage: F apu-ion
No unit in province Apulia.
FinnishEmpire: F fin --> nwy
a Fleet must move to an adjacent province.
--
Yellow Flags:
Vikings:
"Fleet at Den moves to Bal."
No need to use "at" since the parser will think "at" is a province. A hyphen - can also be used instead of "moves to"
Finnish Empire: Order Syntax
"A stp s --> F fin"
No need for the --> after the s, parser doesn't like it. Also support orders need to describe the whole order which they are supporting.
e.g."A stp s F fin -> nwy"
