Wow what a mega-battle in the central oceans... My son would say... epic...
I think it falls to about a 50/50 split... the Archers overtake the Great Glacier, but the Leprechauns hold on to Dimmsdale. The fleets at sea all clash but none succeed in their ventures... unless of course their venture was to remain where they started, in which case congrats are in order. The Trolls are eliminated, failing to find refuge in the Rogue city of Ashan -- heavily defended by its Knight occupiers... and the Hobbits? Man... slammed again they lose 4.
BUILDS! Due TOMORROW!
Let's please get them ASAP cuz I'm going out of town for a week! I want to wrap this up so y'all can have year 10 while I'm away...
Archers: Build 1
Elves: Retreat Ggl and Build 3
Gnomes: Retraet LAG and Build 1
Hobbits: Retreat Lin and Remove 3
Leprechauns: Build 3
Magicians: Retreat Abby and Build 1
Trolls: Remove POR
This presumes the Gnomes retreat to Pan... if not, then they get no build for the center-gain and are just even.

Wow what a mega-battle in the central oceans... My son would say... epic...
I think it falls to about a 50/50 split... the Archers overtake the Great Glacier, but the Leprechauns hold on to Dimmsdale. The fleets at sea all clash but none succeed in their ventures... unless of course their venture was to remain where they started, in which case congrats are in order. The Trolls are eliminated, failing to find refuge in the Rogue city of Ashan -- heavily defended by its Knight occupiers... and the Hobbits? Man... slammed again they lose 4.
BUILDS! Due TOMORROW!
Let's please get them ASAP cuz I'm going out of town for a week! I want to wrap this up so y'all can have year 10 while I'm away...
Archers: Build 1
Elves: Retreat Ggl and Build 3
Gnomes: Retraet LAG and Build 1
Hobbits: Retreat Lin and Remove 3
Leprechauns: Build 3

Trolls: Remove POR
This presumes the Gnomes retreat to Pan... if not, then they get no build for the center-gain and are just even.

What a difference a day makes! Had I adjudicated on time, seven of you would have NMRed. Seven! Something will have to change, gentlemen. Maybe one season I'll adjudicate on time just to keep you all on your toes.
So, back to the events of our season: the Polish/Hungarian pact seems to be working smoothly, as Hungary turns south while Poland expands at the corners. Sicily retakes Tunisia, Burgundy retakes Brussels, Israel retakes Georgia, and Spain retakes Languedoc from Burgundy, who had retaken it from Spain last turn. Overall, plenty of collaborators were either hanged or escaped being hanged, depending on what side they found themselves.
Two units were dislodged but both had only one valid retreat, so ordered.
Winter 1905 adjustments are due 30 June at 23:00 GMT. That's plenty of time; don't be late!

First of all, thanks once again to Hamish for running a prompt and clear game while keeping things relaxed at the same time. It's been a great game to have been a part of and it wouldn't have been possible without you.
Next, congratulations to the winners - Jerome, John and Nathan. I think on balance that the eventual result was a close enough reflection of how the game was played to count as being 'fair', but naturally I had hoped it would turn out rather differently. A separate congratulations too to Jerome on winning the whole tournment - very well played sir.
Like John, I too can hardly remember the beginnings of the game, but a few things are still clear in my mind in terms of my first thoughts concerning how to proceed in this game. Each game should of course be played as its own discrete event, but you can't help but take the tournment context into consideration as part of your thinking. I know that having fared pretty well in the first round (a strong 3 way draw) I was in with a shot at a decent finish to the tournament - I was looking to get a share of a two or three way draw and finish in the top 5 as my aim.
The other thing I was clear on is that under no circumstances should Jerome be allowed to take anything from this game. Being the only soloist from the first round, he entered this board with a big target on his back, and I assumed that everyone else on the board would be thinking the same as me and do all they could to bring down the tournament leader. Of course, that didn't happen, and with no intended disrespect to anyone on the board I think it's absolutely criminal that Jerome was able to walk away from this game as the tournment winner. What's worse is that he did it without (visibly at least) having to make any really tough decisions or execute any big stabs - it was a very easy ride to a three way draw for him and if I'm honest I think the rest of us (some more than others!) are culpable for putting his victory on such an enticing plate. I'm sure it took some excellent play from Jerome to avoid getting attacked from all sides from the start (as AUSTRIA too!), so I don't want my comments to take anything away from his achievement, but I can't help but feel a sense of disappointment that not everyone saw things the same way as me in this game. Perhaps it's me that needs to take the look in the mirror though and try to see things differently in future?
I found communications with Nathan starightforward and fair at the beginning of the game, and it was clear to me very early on that he'd be my ally of choice - although of course I tried to keep other options open by talking across the board. Others on the board were warning me against Nathan and saying that he couldn't be trusted, but Brian's relatively short messages led me to side with Nathan against Germany from the start.
Scott was also very easy to communicate with and we soon had a bit of an EFI going, but meanwhile, John and I were also starting to develop an understanding that would come to threaten the EFI a few years down the line. Things culminated in a difficult decision about 3/4 years into the game (I think) where against Nathan's pleas I sided with Turkey against Italy rather than the other way around. The truth was I needed build badly and that was the only way I was going to get them anytime soon. I also had high hopes of eventually being able to turn John against Jerome and so I wanted to show that I was willing to work with Turkey.
I'm a little unclear on the specifics and the order it all happened in, but I know that the next period of the game was a real 'who will blink first' kind of situation where Nathn, Jerome, John and myself were all urging each other to forsake our current alliances in favour of suggested new ones - that may or may not have ever been intended to be real. 'If you want me to do x then you need to do y' kind of stuff, with it being very difficult to agree timings and therefore who would need to make the first leap of faith. This was the period of the game that saw things start to go very badly for me. Basically, the moment I really fully committed myself to sticking with the EF alliance and attacking Turkey was the moment that Nathan made his move against me. I was hesitant to leave myself exposed in the North and throw everything against Turkey because I didn't fully trust that Nathan would respect our agreed DMZs, but when I did exactly that I found that my suspicions were well founded and I'd made a huge mistake. Even worse - I took Nathan at his word when he and I discussed him aborting his stab and sticking with the EF.
It was bad play by me to be so trusting of England, and my 'stab' of Turkey was particularly sloppy, but I also don't see what other choices I had at the time. I was completely convinced (and John's EOG confirms I was right) that there was no way Austria and Turkey could be driven against each other. That was a rock solid alliance and I had no chance of turning John, despite all the teasing he offered. At that stage though, with England onside Nathan and I had the position to be able to push A/T back and work towards a two way draw - which would have been a great result for both of us. I tried to sell it to Nathan as David vs. Goliath, on account of Jerome and John's past successes in the Winter Blitz and clearly experienced and competent gameplay. If he was going to help anyone, surely he'd rather help the guy with the worse track record? Clearly I'm no salesman!
After Nathan's second stab the game was straightforward for me - do anything and everything I could to make sure Nathan didn't succeed in his bid for the solo. It took me out of the game and I left with an elimination, but I take some heart from knowing that Nathan at least also fared worse than he would have done if he'd stuck with our alliance.
Maybe I just see things differently to others, but I tend to always think than in a game like Diplomacy or Risk, etc, there should in theory never be a winner, because the players should all always feel dutibound to stop anyone else from winning and fight the leader. Underdogs should always unite and put their differences aside to work together against a dominant force - whoever that is at the time.
Hopefully that was at least partly coherent and didn't come across as ranty! Once again - respect and thanks to all who played and congratulations to the winners.

| dc451 ENGLAND EOG - ndeily (Jun 25, 2013, 10:54 am) |
First of all, a big thanks to Hamish for doing his (usual) yeoman's job running the board.
The early years of the game were the usual dance between F and G as I tried to get the best position possible while biding my time to choose an enemy. It was good to see Mikael return from a long Diplomacy absence as Russia as well.
After a brief period of trust building, I felt sure I had a good partner in Benjy, and Germany's army builds cemented my power at sea. With Mikael very much absorbed with events in the south, Benjy and I had more or less free rein to roll into Germany proper and cement our alliance. I had cordial relations with Austria and Turkey, but was dismayed to see Italy's relations with Austria sour.
I started to question Benjy as a partner (despite the successes) due to what looked to me like some timidity in Italy and a preoccupation with having units in reserve to guard against a stab from me - this to me telegraphed a need to have a plan for when I hit the stalemate line as I expected him to make a move. There were some halfhearted attempts to convince me that a fleet in MAO served the greater good, but I was having none of that... and with missed opportunities to really seize momentum in the south, I resolved to stab him and go for the best outcome I could - had we been able to hold the alliance together things possibly would have ended in a 4-way, and I was sure I could do better.
Benjy may have underestimated me a bit, as the moves I made to hit him were more devastating than they looked - or perhaps he was trying to call my bluff. I really would have preferred to keep him alive and end the game many turns ago - an outcome I think he could and should have supported, though I understand in principle why he didn't.
Jerome and John's alliance was a bit mystifying, as both are strong players and each had at least one golden opportunity to stab the other and turn this into a 2-way - and I certainly tried to convince both to do so. I never thought I had a realistic shot at the solo, and would have been thrilled to share a 2-way draw with either - though my preference would have been for John since Jerome soloed on the previous board we were on together.
I was happy with my play this game, if a bit frustrated with the fact it dragged on at the end. Enjoyed playing with you all.
Nathan

Hey all,
Wow. It seems like this game's been going for a long time. My memory of the early years is a bit shaky. But here's what I recall:
As soon as Jerome and I found out we were on the same board, before even countries were assigned (I think we kept good tabs on the DC blitz standings to see which round 2 game we were in), I offered an alliance to him. This was probably my single most controversial move in the game, since generally it's assumed one should off a 1st round soloist rather than offer blind aid even before country assignments. However, my reasons were two-fold. I felt Jerome and I had similar styles of play and would get along well, plus with his lead in the standings, I was fairly confident I could get any other mid or late game player to help me kill Jerome when the opportunity arose. The scariest part of a strong two-way alliance is the fear the other powers will help your ally kill
you, and I felt my risk here was minimal, and thus Jerome would be a good early to mid game ally.
Also, in blitzes, I am a huge believer in triple alliances. With the RAT being one of the more powerful, I attempted that, while trying to get Italy to head West to France, or even north to Germany. Some early differences in expected moves led the RAT to collapse pretty fast. I believe Jerome made the first "stab-like" move, but Russia was also more concerned about protecting himself than striking out (which, as it turned out, he had reason to be. But had the alliance been a bit more aggressive from the get go, that may not have happened).
Whilst all this was occuring, I was also forging ties with Benjy in France. I'd GMed a game he was in, and we got talking about diplomacy in general, and seemed to both feel like we'd be good allies. So I had a second (or third) alliance waiting in the wings. I also tried to make friendly talk
with Nathan in England, but since I'd already basically bet on Benjy as my western ally, I didn't try as hard as I might have otherwise.
So, long story short, I felt mostly allied with Austria, Russia, France, and even England in the early game. I tried to be non-agressive with Germany, but we never really hit it off to develop anything more than some halfhearted talk about possible future ideas. Italy was my target short term. I tried to get Austria and France both to jump him, but neither would bite at first.
In Spring 02, Italy landed an army in Albania, which actually served me kind of well. I'd feared Italy was heading for me, but instead he hit Austria. And in Fall 02 I had to pick my ally between Austria and Russia. So in one of the most pointless stabs I've even done, I "stabbed" Russia for really no gain whatsoever besides protecting Austria. But again, I felt like, if Jerome survived, I would have a simple time painting the target on him, so he'd be easier to defeat, long term. Mikael, sorry about my very lame stab. I felt like it was what I had to do, but I *hated* spending my stab on something so stupid. You deserved better.
Benjy kept talking like he was going to help vs Italy, and Fall 02 also had French fleets enter Tys. I wasn't sure if they were gunning for me or Italy, but they at least terrified Italy enough that he drew back to protect himself.
Thus began a delicate dance between Benjy and
me. We each stepped out in faith, and slowly carved up Italy. It was tense, since we both feared the other would stab at any moment. But neither side did. And we eventually built up a strong partnership, where we were both going to stab our allies. However, because England is more distant from France than Austria is from Turkey, France had to stab first in spring to be able to get to important centers in fall, whereas if I stabbed in Spring, Austria could oust me in Fall, so I had to wait a season. I fully planned to follow through, but at the key moment, Benjy backed out. I think he was afraid to put his neck on the line first. I get that. I thought we had a good plan worked out, and I intended to follow through, but Benjy couldn't read my mind, and I was apparently unable to convince him.
So Benjy stabbed me in Spring 05, with a lame stab that ended up getting him only Tunis in the fall. Then, in 1906, England stabbed France. France had
spent his relational coin already with me, so he really had no where to turn. then it became a race to the stalemate line. We did prop France up, but only to buy us time to set up the line without French help. We did lots of little mini-stabs and small tricks to replace French units with our own, and Benjy really had no choice but to put up with it, caught between a well-functioning AT alliance and the English horde. Really, Benjy did all he could, and deserved a survival. However, he made it clear that he preferred death to a survival, so we were forced to oblige.
I'm actually very proud of this game, because I feel I genuinely did my very best. I think I played at the top of my game, and even though I was not the lead player in the draw, I really don't think there was anything I could have done any better during the course of the game. I failed to hold the RAT together, and failed to turn Benjy, but I felt like I did the best I could. A lot of
games I end thinking I could have done better if I'd tried harder, or if such and such hadn't happened. I've even had games where I did better, but sometimes didn't really feel like I deserved it. But this one I gave my all. I'm not trying to compare my performance with the other talented players on this board, but rather comparing my play to what I feel I'm capable of.
Basically, I had a blast the whole game. Jerome was a solid ally. I never got the chance to stab him mid-game like I wanted. I do feel slightly guilty for letting a solo winner in Round 1 walk away with a strong draw in round two, but Jerome definitely deserves it. After France stabbed me, I had no chance to stab Jerome. And the alliance was so close by the end of the game we essentially took turns writing the moves for both countries and sending them to the GM in a group email, with the other party confirming the moves. He's definitely one of the best allies I'm
worked with.
Benjy, I really had a fun time chatting with you over the course of the game. You didn't ruin the game by holding out. In fact, your strong end-game beliefs (including your anti-solo belief), made it possible for the 3-way to happen. Had you not been so vehement, I imagine England would have won. So you really deserved better. You laid down your life to stop England. Killing you felt like kicking a fallen hero, but at the same time, we couldn't endorse a 4-way draw. You deserved better.
Nathan, you did great. Slow and steady wins the race, and you made the growth of England look natural and almost easy, though I know it wasn't. With one well-timed stab after another, you came so close to making 18. France's martyrdom was really all that stopped you from sweeping the game. Great job.
Hamish, thanks for putting up with us. You did a great job keeping us going. Blitz games are tough to handle, but you did your job
with skill and kept the game fun and light.
Thanks all, for a game well played. And congrats to Jerome for winning the blitz. Our board has three of the top 4 blitz scorers this year. Fun times.
See ya all again sometime![Reply] |

End game proposal fails, and so we move on to winter. I have had a
request to speed up the game a bit, and so I will pose a question, as
well as try something to speed it up a bit. For the 4 players left, a
proposal has been made to speed up major turns to 3 days. Do any of you
object to this? Please let me know, and I will act accordingly.
And with the close of the fall turn, we say goodbye to Austria and
England. Thanks for playing up til the end, both of you.
We will combine retreats and builds into one go, due in 48 hours. I'll
run it tomorrow night if I have all in by then.
I have also switched to a normal mail client instead of web mail, so let
me know if something doesn't come across right.

I tried to be non-agressive with Germany, but we never really hit it off to develop anything more than some halfhearted talk about possible future ideas. Italy was my target short term. I tried to get Austria and France both to jump him, but neither would bite at first.
In Spring 02, Italy landed an army in Albania, which actually served me kind of well. I'd feared Italy was heading for me, but instead he hit Austria. And in Fall 02 I had to pick my ally between Austria and Russia. So in one of the most pointless stabs I've even done, I "stabbed" Russia for really no gain whatsoever besides protecting Austria. But again, I felt like, if Jerome survived, I would have a simple time painting the target on him, so he'd be easier to defeat, long term. Mikael, sorry about my very lame stab. I felt like it was what I had to do, but I *hated* spending my stab on something so stupid. You deserved better.
Benjy kept talking like he was going to help vs Italy, and Fall 02 also had French fleets enter Tys. I wasn't sure if they were gunning for me or Italy, but they at least terrified Italy enough that he drew back to protect himself.
Thus began a delicate dance between Benjy and me. We each stepped out in faith, and slowly carved up Italy. It was tense, since we both feared the other would stab at any moment. But neither side did. And we eventually built up a strong partnership, where we were both going to stab our allies. However, because England is more distant from France than Austria is from Turkey, France had to stab first in spring to be able to get to important centers in fall, whereas if I stabbed in Spring, Austria could oust me in Fall, so I had to wait a season. I fully planned to follow through, but at the key moment, Benjy backed out. I think he was afraid to put his neck on the line first. I get that. I thought we had a good plan worked out, and I intended to follow through, but Benjy couldn't read my mind, and I was apparently unable to convince him.
So Benjy stabbed me in Spring 05, with a lame stab that ended up getting him only Tunis in the fall. Then, in 1906, England stabbed France. France had spent his relational coin already with me, so he really had no where to turn. then it became a race to the stalemate line. We did prop France up, but only to buy us time to set up the line without French help. We did lots of little mini-stabs and small tricks to replace French units with our own, and Benjy really had no choice but to put up with it, caught between a well-functioning AT alliance and the English horde. Really, Benjy did all he could, and deserved a survival. However, he made it clear that he preferred death to a survival, so we were forced to oblige.
I'm actually very proud of this game, because I feel I genuinely did my very best. I think I played at the top of my game, and even though I was not the lead player in the draw, I really don't think there was anything I could have done any better during the course of the game. I failed to hold the RAT together, and failed to turn Benjy, but I felt like I did the best I could. A lot of games I end thinking I could have done better if I'd tried harder, or if such and such hadn't happened. I've even had games where I did better, but sometimes didn't really feel like I deserved it. But this one I gave my all. I'm not trying to compare my performance with the other talented players on this board, but rather comparing my play to what I feel I'm capable of.
Basically, I had a blast the whole game. Jerome was a solid ally. I never got the chance to stab him mid-game like I wanted. I do feel slightly guilty for letting a solo winner in Round 1 walk away with a strong draw in round two, but Jerome definitely deserves it. After France stabbed me, I had no chance to stab Jerome. And the alliance was so close by the end of the game we essentially took turns writing the moves for both countries and sending them to the GM in a group email, with the other party confirming the moves. He's definitely one of the best allies I'm worked with.
Benjy, I really had a fun time chatting with you over the course of the game. You didn't ruin the game by holding out. In fact, your strong end-game beliefs (including your anti-solo belief), made it possible for the 3-way to happen. Had you not been so vehement, I imagine England would have won. So you really deserved better. You laid down your life to stop England. Killing you felt like kicking a fallen hero, but at the same time, we couldn't endorse a 4-way draw. You deserved better.
Nathan, you did great. Slow and steady wins the race, and you made the growth of England look natural and almost easy, though I know it wasn't. With one well-timed stab after another, you came so close to making 18. France's martyrdom was really all that stopped you from sweeping the game. Great job.
Hamish, thanks for putting up with us. You did a great job keeping us going. Blitz games are tough to handle, but you did your job with skill and kept the game fun and light.
Thanks all, for a game well played. And congrats to Jerome for winning the blitz. Our board has three of the top 4 blitz scorers this year. Fun times.
See ya all again sometime![Reply] |

"Dear, dear people of Europe. As your beneficent, if slightly untruthful, Tsar, I appeal to you to pressurize your governments to end this pointless slaughter. As any, even mediocre, general can see, Russian victories in Denmark and Trieste are inevitable. With our mighty navies prowling the northern oceans and outnumbering opposing forces on the ground, absolute victory cannot be blocked. Surrender now. Save yourselves from death in defeat. Submit to the Russian utopia. Or else..."
A Russian solo victory has also been proposed.

Good God, I've let this one slide too long.
Ok. Here are Winter adjustments and the map.
We have two players out on vacation at the moment, but I have been given
orders to run with what they've given.
Since I've let it slide this long, we'll make the deadline Wednesday
07/24 at the usual time.
Once again, we have a Russian solo proposal on the table.
France:
Remove A Edinburgh
Germany:
Remove F North Sea
Russia:
Build A Warsaw
Build F St Petersburg(nc) |

Sorry about that guys. Lost ability to get at email for a few days due to having to rebuild my computer. The dpy file is safely stored on dropbox though, and now that I'm back, I'll get the final results out some time tomorrow.
Although, to kill the suspense, Simon wins this one.

Finally got everything back to normal. Will update the site in the next few days I hope.
France A Spain can retreat to Portugal, but this doesn't have any effect on Russia's solid 23 center solo victory. Congratulations Simon.

Sorry about that guys. Lost ability to get at email for a few days due to having to rebuild my computer. The dpy file is safely stored on dropbox though, and now that I'm back, I'll get the final results out some time tomorrow.
Although, to kill the suspense, Simon wins this one.

This is what I get for not paying attention. Isaac is on vacation until
Aug 10th.
I'll extend it until the 12th, so he can get moves in (if you find email
and can send sooner, that's great as well.)

| dc459 Autumn 02 moves and press - jerome777 (Jun 24, 2013, 3:10 pm) |
Catalan Chronicle, 10 September, 1902
*Winter Palace sacked by Royal Marines invading via Archangel!*
*Only the personal intervention of the admiral of Russia's southern fleet stops the precious Hagia Sophia being burned to the ground by vodka-swilling Cossack sailors!*
*Thousands of casualties as bitter four-army battle over Trieste and Croatia ends in stalemate!*
*Austrians unceremoniously kicked out of Bulgaria!*
*Panic buying of Gitanes reported as German army's advance on Paris is halted - but for how long!?!*
*Royal Navy shows its mastery of the seas once again in massive naval victory off the Normandy coast - French fleet last seen being towed back to Brest for emergency refit!*
*Viennese reports of a freak wormhole in space-time continuum linking Albania with the Aegean Sea prove unfounded!*
*'We were just passing through!' claim the Turks as they exit Sevastopol en route to Ukraine!*
*Sweden's independence preserved for another year!*
The next deadline is the Autumn 02 retreats phase and press, which is 2000GMT tomorrow - Tuesday 25 June
Welcome to the tenth edition of your inveterate Catalan Chronicle! Lots of exciting moves on the board this turn:
Austria:
F Albania - Aegean Sea (*Fails*)
A Budapest - Trieste (*Bounce*)
A Bulgaria Supports F Black Sea - Constantinople (*Dislodged*)
A Vienna Supports A Budapest - Trieste
England:
A Belgium Hold
F London - English Channel
F North Sea Supports F London - English Channel
F Norway - St Petersburg(nc)
F Norwegian Sea - North Atlantic Ocean

A Moscow - Sevastopol
A Rumania Supports A Moscow - Sevastopol
A Warsaw - Silesia
Turkey:

F Ankara - Black Sea
A Constantinople - Bulgaria
A Sevastopol - Ukraine
Austria's Bulgarian army can only retreat to Serbia, so I have auto-retreated it there. Austria, you have till 2000GMT tomorrow (Tuesday 25 June) to retreat it off-the-board instead should you wish to do this. This is also the deadline for any press anybody would like to announce to the world before the Winter disbandments.
We have some telegraphs from our correspondents. The war in Europe must be hotting up as they seem to be getting shorter with each passing year. Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------
France to Italy: My word is my bond. Let's remain friends.
---------------------------------------------------------------
France to England: Actions speak louder than words
---------------------------------------------------------------
Italy, help would be appreciated.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Germany to England: Fine, but i'll be needing Belguim sooner rather than later. Like next year soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------
England to Russia: Hope that support into Sweden is noted and we can use that swedish fleet to good effect going forward
---------------------------------------------------------------
Russia -- Let's keep working together. Turkey should fall quickly, and Italy can only keep this going until France moves West.
France -- Come on over, the water's fine!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Germany to Italy: How long can you hold off the Austrians?
---------------------------------------------------------------
France to Germany: Offers to give up centres seldom manifest
themselves. I'm not the one attacking you here! And I'd note that
Russia getting support into Sweden is eveidence of a Russia/England
alliance
---------------------------------------------------------------
Turkey to Russia: This is Fun.
---------------------------------------------------------------
That concludes this edition of the Catalan Chronicle - we hope you have enjoyed reading it. The next deadline is the Autumn 02 retreats phase and press, which is 2000GMT tomorrow - Tuesday 25 June. Winter 02 builds and press: Thursday 27 June 2000GMT.

The tide has begun to turn distinctly against the Franci, who suffer an incursion by the Vandali and continued centre-swapping with the Saxones. Do the Gothi or the Vandali now inherit the superlative of Most Likely to Solo?
Three units were dislodged, but the map only shows two. Unless I am very much mistaken, the Alamanni A Thracia should be dislodged, but RP didn't adjudicate it that way. We go on to Autumn; this is our first retreat phase since the first year, if you can believe it! Retreats will not affect the adjustments; you will find both beneath the orders.
Autumn 405 retreats due 26 June at 23:00 GMT.

Catalan Chronicle, 9 July, 1902
*News from across the Continent!*
Welcome to the ninth edition of your incorrigible Catalan Chronicle!
We have some telegraphs from our correspondents for your discerning attention:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Buona
giornata a voi, amici miei, e mi sembra, i miei nemici. Vorrei
ringraziare i miei gli alleati francesi per onorare la parola. Spero che
i nobili guerrieri di Germania anche scegliere di
ci permettono di liberare il mondo dagli Austriaci. Non nego che gli
austriaci sono il mio nemico e sradicare dal mondo per renderlo un posto
migliore. Ringrazio i miei amici e la morte per i miei nemici!
To those not familiar with the only true language.
Good day to you my friends, and it seems, my foes. I would like to thank my French allies for honoring thier word. I hope that the noble warriors of Germany also choose to allow us to rid the world of the Austrians. I make no bones that the Austrians are my enemy and I will eradicate them from the world to make it a better place.
Thank you my friends and DEATH to my foes!
---------------------------------------------------------------
England
to Germany: Well, you seem far more interested in going against France,
so let's stop dicking around and get it done. France has no interest
in working with me, so I'll refocus my attacks. We can work out a deal
wherein you take over administration of Belgium in the future, but for
now I'd like to hold onto it.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, if dat is youse Russia. Did you really tink it was cool to disrespect me like that. I sends my troops to help youse and den youse tell me you ain't gonna help me? Dat is not very nice of youse. Hey Turkey, do youse need a friend? If
you support my navy that is holding in Greece I will be more than happy
to help youse deal with the nasty Austrians and dat ungrateful Russian!
---------------------------------------------------------------
This concludes our latest edition of the Catalan Chronicle,
we
hope you've enjoyed reading it. Please do send in your news stories,
thoughts, dreams, ambitions, and reviews, however mendacious, for us all
to enjoy.
Next deadline is Autumn 02 moves and press: Monday 24 June 2000GMT.
