The Seven Empires
View statsView solution
Erratum on Fri, 10/23/20, 5:08 PM PDT: In a previous version of the puzzle, there was an error in the 3rd table. The line "Fleet BAR H" should have been in the column with the header "R", before "Fleet BAL-SWE". This has now been fixed.
Matt and Emma see players reenacting the conflicts of ages past. When asked about the seventh player, they insist that there are no missing armies. In fact, they say she is involved in every battle. How do these disparate battles combine together into a single history?
