Six Warlords Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Blue Crow Expedition: This one has gone missing. It has been in place for about ten months and so far it has only drawn die-hard geoachers from the city who are willing to drive waaaay out of their way to get a geocache they haven't found yet. I think a puzzle cache probably isn't right for this location, so I'm going to shut it down.

Geocache Description:

This geocache is NOT at the posted coordinates.  To find it, you must solve this puzzle.

Once in a faraway land there were six warlords who struggled to control the same small territory. After years of fighting each of them was ready to have peace and share the territory, but there was a problem. The territory had a complex system of trade routes and the warlords knew if their men tried to travel the same routes then old rivalries would flare up into war. Finally, one of the warlords' oldest and wisest advisors came forward with a solution.

In the grid below, a red circle has been placed around one of the numbers in Row A. Arrange the remaining five circles so that none of them share a straight line with any of the others horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

The coordinates for the container will be N 43 08.ABC W 87 54.DEF.

You can check your answer here.
