SABOTAGE!

The Arab columns loyal to Malta are fighting a pitched battle against the citizens of its capital, who have taken up arms against the Maltese government.
The people have been gathering in knots for the past few days, getting together and planning something. The spies could not gather anything, and nobody anticipated the level of violence that erupted suddenly.
As armed mobs killed officials and soldiers, taking over govt buildings, the Arabs were called in to deal with them.
Many hours later, the Arabs begin to retreat. The people are too mad and violent to be beaten or contained.

An unknown saboteur has triggered a successful revolt in the capital region of Malta. The target region goes back to rebel control. Rhinelander will get a -1 penalty point in the next turn and it applies to everything that he does that turn including agent missions. He needs to fix a new capital.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION!

A dead body is lying in a street in the new capital of York. From the looks of it, it is looking like the man has been tortured before being killed.
Some curious onlookers have gathered around it and are busy gossipping.
“Looks like a foreigner, he does.”
“Dunno who did that to him.”
“Robbers? Thugs?”
“Nah, looks like he spent a night in the dungeons…..ordinary goons can’t do all this.”
“Dungeons, eh? Do ya think it was an enemy agent?”
“Could be, we have too many enemies.”
“Hmmmm. Saboteur or assassin?”
“Methinks assassin. He looks like a professional killer. Look at his face!”
“Professional killers have different faces?”
“Methinks so.”
Finally, the crowd gets bored and moves off. Some guards arrive and take the body away to prevent the people from knowing his identity. Little do they know that they have guessed rightly already.

An unknown assassin has tried to unsuccessfully kill the Faction Leader of York.

ATTEMPTED SABOTAGE!

Some Arabs are stoning to death a man, in public.
The town-crier screams, “By the order of the Leader Signore di Suaressi! This man is convicted of treason! He came to trigger a revolt here! To preach nonsense to our people! To tell us that we do not need this government! He was caught in his miserable attempt! He is hereby to be executed!”
The people around, pick up stones from the ground. They join the Arab guards in throwing them at the condemned saboteur.

An unknown saboteur has unsuccessfully tried to create a revolt in the capital region of Malta.

SABOTAGE!

Voltaire is pacing up and down in his tent.
He furiously turns around and addresses Rousseau.
“So now it is those fools? What has gotten into these people?”
“Nothing, Voltaire. They are falling prey to anyone who comes along and spouts nonsense.”
“Even if he preaches rebellion? Sedition? Treason?”
“This is why we invented the guillotine, mon ami! You can’t stop such people or the fools from listening to them. So, vive le guillotine! We will reconquer that region along with all the others. Order and the Republic will be restored.”
“I sure hope so.”

An unknown saboteur has triggered a successful revolt in a region of France. The target region goes back to rebel control.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION!

Victorioso di Suaressi, the Faction Leader of Malta, is talking with some merchants regarding the purchase of their wares.
He is continuously observing the servant boy of one of the merchants. At last, he asks, “Why are you so nervous and fidgety, boy?”
The merchant answers politely, “He is new, My Lord. He has come into your presence for the first time, and therefore he is nervous.”
di Suaressi is not convinced. H signals his guards secretly. Two burly men arrive and grab the boy by his shoulders, dragging him away. Two more men do the same to the merchant.
Hours later, the Captain of the Guard arrives and bows before di Suaressi. “You were right, My Lord. They were indeed assassins, but we could not discover who sent them. The boy gave way under torture and died. The man swallowed poison he had kept hidden with him. It was the boy’s first assignment, so he couldn’t hide his nervousness.”
The Faction Leader smiles in contempt. “So he thought he could use that poison on me? Well, the poison has reached where it rightly belonged! Hah!”

An unknown assassin has tried to unsuccessfully kill the Faction Leader of Malta.

You are able to do 2 moves.

Patatje Joppie Clan (Speedlion)

[6+1=7] Paris is regained! The garrison is so exhausted and depleted in fighting the Bohemians that not much strength is left to face the French.

[6+1=7] Finally! The BanAllMilk Brothers are silenced……by the endless sermonizing of a whole battalion of priests sent for this purpose. The natives are convinced of the superior might of the Holy Trinity of Milk, Cheese and Yogurt and gladly give up their barbaric lactose-intolerant ways.
