African Campaign Bolts Into High Gear
With the playoffs only a few months away, the three contending factions of Catholic nuns fought bitterly for control of Somalia in the hopes that a win there would bring them the one remaining playoff spot. In the All Catholic Division of the African Campaign, the Sisters of Perpetual Motion, representing the Roman Catholics, have an insurmountable one game lead and have clinched at least a tie for the Division Championship. This guarantees them a spot in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Sisters of Dover Shores, representing the Anglican Church, and the Sisters of Athena, representing the Orthodox Catholics, are battling it out in the streets of Somalia for a wild card berth. The Moors are bringing up the rear and have been mathematically eliminated.
Americans Allegedly Sponsor the Sisters of Perpetual Motion
The 40,000 strong convent of the Sisters of Perpetual Motion is fully engaged in Mogadishu and is representing America's interests. Entering Somalia clandestinely from Kenya and Ethiopia, it routed the Sunni Islamic clerics who recently took control of the city and the country. In the Risky fight. the Sunnis lost several artillery pieces, two cavalry men, and four horsemen. They forced the Islamists to the South near the Kenya border where they have inflicted heavy casualties using a combination of cavalry and horsemen. So far, the roll of the dice seems to be in the favor of the nuns. The US, for its part, denies any involvement.

Ethiopia Backing the Sisters of Dover ShoresSimilarly, the Sisters of Dover Shores are reportedly backed by Ethiopia. Also entering from Ethiopia, they made a mad dash across Somalia to enter Mogadishu shortly after the Sisters of Perpetual Motion left heading south to rout the Sunni clerics but leaving the city unguarded. The Shores nuns were able to move several of their players into the country before the Perpetual Motion sisters could react.
Russia Backs Athena
Coming south from Eritrea, the Sisters of Athena crossed Yabooty, swept the Puntland and neared the capitol city of Mogadishu overnight. Making no secret of their sponsorship, the Russians openly rooted for the representatives of the Orthodox Church to win handing the US and Ethiopia a political embarrassment.
Converts and Armies at Stake
At stake in all of this fighting is Somalia's three armies each turn, two cards, a playoff spot in the championship and the chance to convert the millions of Sunni Muslims to their brand of Catholicism.
