| Marchese Giovanni da Verrazano |
First light this morning, amongst much hubbub, carousing and drinking of a cheeky breakfast wine, Marchese Giovanni da Verrazano marched his forces into Oxford and declared for the King. Known to many as 'Giovanni di Cappo' but to others as the 'Pirate of Venice'.
Reports indicate that Verrazano has a force of some 5,000 men with him, including a personal bodyguard of some 200 Venetian Horsemen known as the Azzuri.
Parliamentarian sympathisers question the veracity of Venetian Horsemen, with may at Mrs Miggins' Pie Shoppe suggesting that they in fact as combat ready as Seahorses!
The Royalist forces now have 4 of 5 commanders mustered in Oxford, whilst the Parliamentarians are lagging somewhat behind with just two commanders mustered in London and the other three presumably debating and voting on procedures and configurations for their forces!
So to date we have the following teams mustered...
Royalist Parliament
Dave - Ambrose Burnside Mat - William Bacon
Paul - Lord Cockington Mike - Bevell Dedge
Steve - Wilhelm of the Rine -----------------------------------
John - Giovanni di Capo Mark - Osborne Black-De'ath
----------------------------------- Phil - Philip Johnson
Rupert - Ruprecht of the Elbe Nigel - Magnus Worthyman
