I order all of my non-mercenary troops to stand down and move my mercs to Corsica and a boat off Corsica. Mercs has a decent upkeep, but a stiff sticker price. What I intend to do is to use them against the HRE for my war for Sardinia. I'll look at Sinai later, after I've gotten everything in order.

The other reason I'm pushing Sardinia now is becuase I'm 61 and I lose my claims when I die on Arborea and Cagliari

In the meantime, i create the Duke fo Sinai title and hand everythign away

1 May - Farama converts

20 May = We are ready. I have troops of the coast of Cagliari and troops in Corsica ready to move in - I declare war against teh Holy Roman Empire.

29 May - We swept asidea mdest defense and began a siege in Cagliari

6 June - THe DUke of Alxandria uses this as a chance to declare wwar against me while I am distracted with the HRE. When I'm done here, I'll focus on him.

17 June - Modest victry in Arborea agains their minor forces and a siege beins

29 June - 1st holding of Cag is ours

8 July - #2 falls

19 July - #3 and 4 are ours and the province is with our flag right now

2 Seot - I combine my forces and take Arborea's 3 holdings

Messina's new city is called Torregrota

I assemble my Alexandrian army with me at the head and move to a sieg in EgyptI want tostop

8 Sept - 9000 troops arrie in N Italy to begin taking land from the HRE

14 ept - Our troops from the islands have boarded my fleet - I carry them to another province to take it too

5 Oct - After crushing an army of 10000 Germans in Genoa, we begin a siege

27 Oct - I defeat my son's roops in Pelucia

29 Nv - I combined my armies to take ou a 16000 strong HRE force

Dec 15 - We crush their armies again

Jan 3, 1239 - We take Genoa on an assault

Jan 20 - And the next holding

Feb 15 And the next


Peace is offered for Sardinia and I accept

And now to my grandson, the Duke of Alexandria
