*bows to Cap-san, witpqs-san and Chickenboy-san* Thank you for your advice, samurai. And no, I have not attacked yet, so I do think it is worth a try. Disruption is very low, morale and experience are high, and I have a good leader.

Hark! The world wonders
Where is our dear Grotius?
The steel fish slumber.

Grotius is still here
but both of us are on break:
beach, work, family.

(Thanks for asking! We do hope to resume sooner or later. :) )

Spent after the storm
Ocean waves settled
We mourned the calm

Interminable
The wait goes on forever

Frozen samurai
Feet locked in ice, swords rais'd high --
but not forever.

Snow drifts past statues.
Frozen breath? Frozen Warriors
Their blades still held high.

The heat of battle!
Will it stir our Samurai
From winter's slumber?

Hark! Behold this light
In the east it is the sun
Rising, rays streaming

Is it Juliette?
Nay, not her but comely Val
Betrothed today

As a queen she walks
thru blue marred to blackness
Falls on ladies gray

Dazzling in pearls
Stirred from sleep they'll die
Romeo awakes

Grotius, I think
Moved to the Eastern Front
Vanished he has

Grotius sleeps deep
His mind no longer stirred
By need to conquer.

Grotius wakens
His visage strong and noble
See my AAR

Rebels in canoes
and young men dressed as chickens
make Grotius-san smile

Attack hard and fast
A samurai fears death not
No guts, No Glory!
