First thing's first, the draw proposal has been voted down, so onward we go.

The alliances again seem to be shifting this turn as Germany finds himself under attack from both other powers, with Russia cutting a key support from Kiel and allowing Italy to get into Munich.  Elsewhere Germany does push back the Russian forces in Prussia, while Italy still finds German forces blocking the entrance to France.

There were three resultant retreats.  However, Germany only had one option that didn't involve bouncing with himself, and I took the liberty to retreat the Russian army to War (over Lvn).  If either of you prefer OTB or a switch (in Warren's case), just let me know.

All of this leads to a winter with only one adjustment: Italy is due one build.  So I will adjudicate that as soon as I receive it, but I'll set a deadline for B for Wednesday at the latest.  If I receive the build tomorrow we'll have Spring 10 on Friday, otherwise it will be Monday.

The only units that
actually move this turn are French.  The Turkish army
in St. Petersburg now finds itself nearly surrounded by
the light-blue meanies.  French armies march behind the
frontlines through Germany, as Austria concentrates on
stopping an attack on Silesia.  Every unit in and
around Italy remains in place.
 
No retreats are due, so we proceed directly to fall
1909.  We have two endgame proposals to consider as
well:
  1)  a DIAS, 4-way draw
  2)  a solo for France
 
Please cast your votes on these proposals along with
your fall 1909 orders, which are due Thursday 3/12
at 3pm Central (US) / 20:00 GMT. 
Thanks!
 
Cory

Guys

It is surely now quite obvious that France has played an excellent game to
get to 17 centres. It is also obvious that the combined powers of Italy,
Austria and Turkey have set up an impenetrable stalemate line.

Therefore can we please all agree to a DIAS and prepare ourselves for Round
2 of the competition?

Nick

I concur, there is no way for France to solo. We could even spell our orders out and it would not matter, since the line is unbreakable.

I'm too voting yes for the 4-way draw, just for the
record.

I too agree that this was a very uneven game with two
countries not playing, and England semi-playing at best.

I have to disappoint you Babak, I sent in standing orders
some time ago, so no more Nmr on my part

Now, if everyone just solos in round two, we will get an
okay score at least

i'm going to change my vote to yeas for the 4way draw
now.

I wanted to get to 17 and set myself up... and I also was
hoping Italy might NMR again ;P

so DIAS is agreed to.  it was great playing with you
all - though it was not a great game.  with 2 players
NMRing from the start - it was a very uneven game.


in any case - good luck to all of you for the rest of the
tournament.
