Rulers of the far reaches of Europe…
The continent has mobilized and war though this Spring season saw minimal conflict of arms, the foretelling of battles to come were foreshadowed by the clash of soldiers in Galacia and sailors in the Black Sea. Those were our only two bounces in an otherwise conventional spring turn.
I also apologize for the slight delay in adjudications. I was enjoying the inauguration in Washington DC on Tuesday and had a needed day of recovery from the past week of events. I hope to keep pace moving forward, but I warn that I may disappoint on occasion.
I do want to ask you all to send press. If you want to declare war (well, after you've made the move) or beg for peace, warn of impending victory for another or just to rib or taunt your fellow rulers, use the white press opportunity. Given your chosen characters (all but Justin have taken on an ulterior identity), it should be much fun to write a few sentences to share.

WHITE PRESS:
Alaric I, King of Visigoths (Josh):
Alaric I, King of the Visigoths, first ruler of the Balti dynasty. He's most famous for sacking Rome in 410ce. (Don't worry Bruce I won't be taking any ideas from historical events.)
Suleiman the Magnificent (Jeffrey):
I've decided on the persona of Suleiman the Magnificent who doubled the size of the Ottoman Empire (to 2 billion acres) and expanded his lands to the doorsteps of Vienna before being turned away. (The Battle of Vienna gave rise to the croissant, which was a symbolic gesture by Viennese bakers to "take a bite" out of the Ottoman crescent each morning.) Suleiman the Magnificent also expanded culture, law, and learning during his 46 year reign.
Phillip the Good of Burgundy (Michael):
Phillip the Good of Burgundy. Son of John the Fearless and is known for his efforts during the Hundred Years War, in which he vacillated between supporting the French and the English… eventually capturing and sending Joan of Arc to her death. Besides having 3 wives and 18 children (the man must have lived well), he was known for being a patron of the arts, who liked long walks on the beach and starry nights.
Prince Eugene of Savoy (Nathan):
Prince Eugene was a famous Austrian military leader, who was also well know for his skillful diplomacy.
King Romulus of Italy (Bruce):
King Romulus, along with his twin brother, Remus (circa 771-717 bc) were, according to mythology, fathered by the god of war, Mars. Romulus was the first king of Rome, founding it, after slaying his brother, in 753 bc.
Romulus not only created the Roman Legions and the Roman Senate, but also added citizens to his new city by abducting the women of the neighboring Sabine tribes, which resulted in the mixture of the Sabines and Romans into one people. Romulus would become ancient Rome's greatest conqueror, adding large amounts of territory and people to the dominion of Rome.
King Alfred of England (Aidan):
From England my selection is King Alfred, the only British monarch to be known "the Great". Because of his military and diplomatic skills. He did, unfortunately, have an issue with baking cakes.

DIPYCORP PRESS RELEASES Berlin Summer 1901 To my brave French comrades in Arms, let us not forget the struggles of the past 200 years where time and again we have together thrown the Anglo Saxon armies off our beloved Continent. Now, once again we are under threat and it behoves us to unite once more under the Banner of Liberte, Fraternite and Frankfurters! Let us not be cowed down by Albion’s powerful navies, but instead strike back at her homeland, her dockyards and barracks, her factories and palaces. Instead let there be Chocolate for you and Tulips for me! Let us Unite I say! The Civilised Peoples of Europe demand no less! The Kaiser GERMANS ARE IN ARMS! BURGUNDY HAS FALLEN! MUNICH THREATENED! FRENCH SHOULD SURRENDER IMMEDIATELY! Austrian Premier issues an edict of peace to Italy: Stay in Venice and to the oceans. We'll stay on land and peace will remain between our countries. Austrian Premier issues an edict of allegiance to Turkey: Split the Balkans; I get Ser and Gre, you get Bul and Rum. Peace all around. Dear Russia, Our bounce in Gal was expected, but might we come to a non-aggression agreement and leave that area alone for the time being? I will not move to Gal this season. If you do, expect my forces to push back with all their might. If you don't, we have the beginnings of a nice relationship. Austria The Ottoman Empire announces that the Balkans are his and Russia and Austria should steer clear! Any further advances into that area will signal WAR!!!!!! BULGARS OPPRESSED, SEEK TSAR’S AID ONCE MORE By Hristo Schaldev Sofia — Bulgarian ambassadors attempting to deliver a message to the Russian embassy in Sofia were arrested by Turkish officers this Thursday. Though much of the messages they were carrying has been kept hidden, this reporter has learned that some of them were pleas for the Russian army to be dispatched to Rumania and Galicia. With traditionally hostile Austrian and Turkish forces already making power grabs into the Balkans, Russian presence would be welcomed by locals in both Rumania and especially Bulgaria, where gratitude and expectation run high stemming from the Russian assistance against the Ottoman Empire in the 70s’. Russian presence would also be appreciated (and possibly rewarded) by the more forward thinking states of Western Europe.
From: Austria To: France
My dear friend, If you push into Munich this Fall, I will support your defense in the Spring. I am certain from this position, you’ll have ample opportunity to support me in the future. Yours Sincerely, Archduke Ferdinand
The sultan offers friendship to Austria: I agree to your terms, you take SER and GRE, I will take BUL and RUM. I want peace with you. The sultan wants peace and cooperation with Italy: Leave the balkans and head west - destroy France, the natural enemy of Europe, and you will find a friend in Turkey that will last the game. EDWARD VII WARNS RUSSIA AND GERMANY: "I, the uncle of Europe, wish to maintain the peace in the West by issuing a warning to our friends, the Kaiser and the Tsar. Your peril, at the hands of the formidable Royal Navy, will ensue if any resistance is felt to Great Britain's liberation of Scandinavia. Stay out"

A pretty fair response. In reply to a couple small things...
1. By "hostile" I meant that in that game I found your reaction to the "stab" (I took a neutral SC that you think I promised you -- I still maintain I didn't promise) completely out of proportion to the level of the crime. Having played with you again, I now think it more likely that you sometimes ratchet up the intensity of your language as another negotiating tactic.
2. I remember using the "Mike's the one we have to watch" ploy on Fredrik and Lee, but not to your face. Could you have heard it from them, maybe? Anyway, that really was just a tactic on my part to get them to side with me. My choice to go after Finland was, as I said, based purely on my tactical analysis. If you had been in Poland I would have tried the same plan with you as my partner.
3. Regarding the end of the game, of course you took the solo. The question is what was Fredrik playing for? The absolute best result he could get was a draw, and he could have had the draw many years earlier? How did he let you convince him to keep playing when it only served Finland's interests and not Sweden's? Regardless of the wisdom of the Polish strategy (which is Lee's to remark on) it was a completely obvious the result would be (probably) a Finnish solo or (maybe) a draw if you decided not to stab. Since the draw was offered many game year's previously, why would Sweden keep playing?
The last few years felt like a mother cat (that's you, Mike) teaching her kitten (Sweden) how to torture small prey.

Hi all,
Finland's perspective here.
When I heard Trout was going to run this variant, I was one of the first to jump in. I've seen this one around for some time, and loved the waterways and tactical play that it affords. The key to a 4-player game tho is you need 4 that are really going to diplome hard and openly to make it interesting, since it's such a small base of players to work with. In this game, that broke down...
Chris said, "I got the better of him in that game, and he was pretty hostile about it". I don't know where this came from... I enjoyed our CotA game, in which yeah you did get the better of me, but I was not hostile about it, at least no more than for any other stab. And besides, I try to take it as a challenge to work with someone that's stabbed me in the past. What really happened, which Chris did admit about 4 turns into the game, is that he'd pegged me as the player to beat, and he'd intended to attack me from the get go, irrelevant of what negotiations had transpired. This was astonishing news, cuz the player that I really tried to work with and wanted to team up with the most, was never even seriously considering working with me! And then you complain in your EGS about the lack of creativity in the game, but I think a lot of that lack of creativity came from your own preconditions you brought about attacking me.
Other than that tho, the recount below is pretty accurate. I spent the early part of the game discussing with Chris how we considered each other to be the favorite in the game, and that we should team up and dominate the board, but something Chris was saying just wasn't sounding quite right. Maybe it's how he'd argue and argue about a point, and then he'd give in, and just say ok, or whatever, but I guessed right on probly 3 or 4 occasions that he was about to stab me, and I ordered the perfect defense. Then we'd rinse, and repeat. This was the sum of the early game! It wasn't very interesting, and I didn't really have the chance to consider a move against Sweden (like Chris wanted) cuz I was always busy countering his offensives. Maybe that's what tipped off your intentions Chris, was that you wanted me to go at Poland so hard, yet you weren't willing to give me any space. It was basically "ok I know I stabbed you, but now go hit Poland and I'll stop". Yeah right.
So anyways, most of the game was a slog between Chris and myself, and I was somewhat powerless to change the course to anything more productive. In fact, I am still unsure just how this game went from Chris being in Helsingfors and on the attack, to me pushing him clear back to the corner, when Lee never even stabbed him! All I can attribute it to, is that I got a TON of lucky guesses against Chris, and I'm sure he'd agree w that. Almost every move where there was some 50/50 gamble, I got it right, and before I knew it, Chris was beaten back.
On the other side of the map was Fredrik, and he was the wildcard in the game, for not having known any of Chris, Lee, or myself from past acquaintances. Fortunately for me he got in a war with Poland early, and I avoided a couple of his centers when I could have stabbed him, and that was enough to form a Sweden-Finland alliance. The other two players were basically attacking us, then in the next breath asking us to attack each other, which was obviously not going to happen. Then for the 2nd half of the game, it got easier (to answer your question, Chris) to stay together, since Poland and Russia had abandoned the game. Russia didn't write me a single mail for the latter half, and all Poland would write was about how he was going to try to throw the game and how awful Fredrik was playing. Well I have to say if that's your attitude toward any player, then it's no surprise they don't work with you!
I most enjoyed the tactical play with Fredrik of trying to figure out how to claim Malmo, KAT, SBA, etc, and that part was a lot of fun, and I'm glad Malmo did fall on the final turn. We had the advantage in position, controlling the center of the board, and we just leveraged that, advancing slowly. This is where I think Lee and Chris caved in, for instead of doing some sort of controlled retreat, they chose to hand me center after center, a sure path to a loss. I guess they absolutely did not want to see a Fin-Swe draw, but I'd have to ask - why? At least then you don't outright hand someone a win, and if you do stick it out, then there is a chance once you're down to 2 or 3 centers, that the other powers will eventually go to war and lock up, with your remaining centers creating a balance and preventing a win. That didn't happen, Lee just diverted all his forces to the west, abandoning the solid stalemate line he had in Europe. I have to think if Lee had maybe returned Malmo to its former owner willingly, Fredrik may have been more open to building some troops in the north, or if nothing else, he would have had a couple extra that could have prevented such a move by me. By Poland refusing to give up Malmo, Fredrik basically had to keep on fighting in that arena, putting his forces way out of the action.
Yeah Lee's premonition was right, I did raise a point about players in another game passing up a clear and unstoppable win, and so I couldn't pass up the chance to put the game to rest... So I did. I mean that's the goal of the game, it's right there in the book, to try to get the majority of the centers. So I don't feel bad about it, and I suppose Fredrik would agree it's the thing to do. I don't think Fredrik was wrong to stay allied with me for so long, since he had little alternative. He could work with the players that were berating him all game, but that would have provided little enjoyment to anyone but Chris and Lee... and working with players who have lost interest is never any fun. As for a 2-way draw, it could have happened, if things had developed more balanced, or if Fredrik had pushed for me to vacate NBA, or if Lee had conceded Malmo sooner, but once Lee threw his cards into the kill-Sweden-at-all-costs boat, it was pretty much over. Perhaps the fact that Lee was willing to do that, suggests Fredrik was right to not switch sides?
Anyways it was a fun game, frustrating at times, but overall a great tactical map. I would recommend it to others to try, but you have to enter it w/o a 2-on-2 alliance mindset, and keep your options open and fluid. Trout's storylines were a blast, I loved reading about Christmas Turkey Trout, Through the Looking Glass Trout, and all his other personae, and particularly following the antics of our friends Watson and Holmes and how their stories followed the results of the game were hilarious. I looked forward to every adjudication both to see how Chris would try to stab me this time, and how Trout would tie that into the story.

If you had been in Poland I would have tried the same plan with you as my partner.
3. Regarding the end of the game, of course you took the solo. The question is what was Fredrik playing for? The absolute best result he could get was a draw, and he could have had the draw many years earlier? How did he let you convince him to keep playing when it only served Finland's interests and not Sweden's? Regardless of the wisdom of the Polish strategy (which is Lee's to remark on) it was a completely obvious the result would be (probably) a Finnish solo or (maybe) a draw if you decided not to stab. Since the draw was offered many game year's previously, why would Sweden keep playing?
The last few years felt like a mother cat (that's you, Mike) teaching her kitten (Sweden) how to torture small prey.

Subject: dc191 Finland EGS
Hi all,
Finland's perspective here.
When I heard Trout was going to run this variant, I was one of the first to jump in. I've seen this one around for some time, and loved the waterways and tactical play that it affords. The key to a 4-player game tho is you need 4 that are really going to diplome hard and openly to make it interesting, since it's such a small base of players to work with. In this game, that broke down...
Chris said, "I got the better of him in that game, and he was pretty hostile about it". I don't know where this came from... I enjoyed our CotA game, in which yeah you did get the better of me, but I was not hostile about it, at least no more than for any other stab. And besides, I try to take it as a challenge to work with someone that's stabbed me in the past. What really happened, which Chris did admit about 4 turns into the game, is that he'd pegged me as the player to beat, and he'd intended to attack me from the get go, irrelevant of what negotiations had transpired. This was astonishing news, cuz the player that I really tried to work with and wanted to team up with the most, was never even seriously considering working with me! And then you complain in your EGS about the lack of creativity in the game, but I think a lot of that lack of creativity came from your own preconditions you brought about attacking me.
Other than that tho, the recount below is pretty accurate. I spent the early part of the game discussing with Chris how we considered each other to be the favorite in the game, and that we should team up and dominate the board, but something Chris was saying just wasn't sounding quite right. Maybe it's how he'd argue and argue about a point, and then he'd give in, and just say ok, or whatever, but I guessed right on probly 3 or 4 occasions that he was about to stab me, and I ordered the perfect defense. Then we'd rinse, and repeat. This was the sum of the early game! It wasn't very interesting, and I didn't really have the chance to consider a move against Sweden (like Chris wanted) cuz I was always busy countering his offensives. Maybe that's what tipped off your intentions Chris, was that you wanted me to go at Poland so hard, yet you weren't willing to give me any space. It was basically "ok I know I stabbed you, but now go hit Poland and I'll stop". Yeah right.
So anyways, most of the game was a slog between Chris and myself, and I was somewhat powerless to change the course to anything more productive. In fact, I am still unsure just how this game went from Chris being in Helsingfors and on the attack, to me pushing him clear back to the corner, when Lee never even stabbed him! All I can attribute it to, is that I got a TON of lucky guesses against Chris, and I'm sure he'd agree w that. Almost every move where there was some 50/50 gamble, I got it right, and before I knew it, Chris was beaten back.
On the other side of the map was Fredrik, and he was the wildcard in the game, for not having known any of Chris, Lee, or myself from past acquaintances. Fortunately for me he got in a war with Poland early, and I avoided a couple of his centers when I could have stabbed him, and that was enough to form a Sweden-Finland alliance. The other two players were basically attacking us, then in the next breath asking us to attack each other, which was obviously not going to happen. Then for the 2nd half of the game, it got easier (to answer your question, Chris) to stay together, since Poland and Russia had abandoned the game. Russia didn't write me a single mail for the latter half, and all Poland would write was about how he was going to try to throw the game and how awful Fredrik was playing. Well I have to say if that's your attitude toward any player, then it's no surprise they don't work with you!
I most enjoyed the tactical play with Fredrik of trying to figure out how to claim Malmo, KAT, SBA, etc, and that part was a lot of fun, and I'm glad Malmo did fall on the final turn. We had the advantage in position, controlling the center of the board, and we just leveraged that, advancing slowly. This is where I think Lee and Chris caved in, for instead of doing some sort of controlled retreat, they chose to hand me center after center, a sure path to a loss. I guess they absolutely did not want to see a Fin-Swe draw, but I'd have to ask - why? At least then you don't outright hand someone a win, and if you do stick it out, then there is a chance once you're down to 2 or 3 centers, that the other powers will eventually go to war and lock up, with your remaining centers creating a balance and preventing a win. That didn't happen, Lee just diverted all his forces to the west, abandoning the solid stalemate line he had in Europe. I have to think if Lee had maybe returned Malmo to its former owner willingly, Fredrik may have been more open to building some troops in the north, or if nothing else, he would have had a couple extra that could have prevented such a move by me. By Poland refusing to give up Malmo, Fredrik basically had to keep on fighting in that arena, putting his forces way out of the action.
Yeah Lee's premonition was right, I did raise a point about players in another game passing up a clear and unstoppable win, and so I couldn't pass up the chance to put the game to rest... So I did. I mean that's the goal of the game, it's right there in the book, to try to get the majority of the centers. So I don't feel bad about it, and I suppose Fredrik would agree it's the thing to do. I don't think Fredrik was wrong to stay allied with me for so long, since he had little alternative. He could work with the players that were berating him all game, but that would have provided little enjoyment to anyone but Chris and Lee... and working with players who have lost interest is never any fun. As for a 2-way draw, it could have happened, if things had developed more balanced, or if Fredrik had pushed for me to vacate NBA, or if Lee had conceded Malmo sooner, but once Lee threw his cards into the kill-Sweden-at-all-costs boat, it was pretty much over. Perhaps the fact that Lee was willing to do that, suggests Fredrik was right to not switch sides?
Anyways it was a fun game, frustrating at times, but overall a great tactical map. I would recommend it to others to try, but you have to enter it w/o a 2-on-2 alliance mindset, and keep your options open and fluid. Trout's storylines were a blast, I loved reading about Christmas Turkey Trout, Through the Looking Glass Trout, and all his other personae, and particularly following the antics of our friends Watson and Holmes and how their stories followed the results of the game were hilarious. I looked forward to every adjudication both to see how Chris would try to stab me this time, and how Trout would tie that into the story.

| DC191 Study In Baltic - RUSSIAN EOG Statement - camorse22 (Jan 21, 2009, 8:30 am) |
Gentlemen -
This will be the shortest and easiest EOG I've ever written.
First, many thanks to Trout for a fantastic job. I've never played in one of your games before but I will certainly look for them in the future. Your humor and creativity were a blessing in a game that didn't have very much of either during the play. Well done.
I admit I wasn't really excited about the game when I saw it posted. I'm normally a sucker for a pretty map, and this one did have some interesting possibilities with all those water spaces, but I felt that having four players would doom it quickly to a two-against-two fight that would slog on forever with no one willing to risk being the first to stab. (As it turns out I was wrong about that in the early going, but exactly right after the first -- what, four or five years?) After watching the game languish in the Open Games for a few weeks I signed up. I had a break in my schedule and was hopeful that even if the game locked up as I predicted, we'd quickly reach a stalemate.
I asked for Finland. I got Russia.
I decided that the best way to make the game interesting was to form a two-man team to blitz the other side. Skip the typical snagging of the nearby neutrals and the "feeling out" negotiations, and instead go straight for the home centers of the opponents with the idea of back-filling neutrals later.
Looking purely at the map, I planned an opening blitz for Russia as partner to Finland, and another as partner to Poland. My analysis told me that Russia and Poland could move North faster than Russia and Finland could move East. Accordingly, my opening strategy was to persuade Lee (Poland) to work with me and to distract Mike (Finland). The first part seemed to work well. Lee seemed to buy into the blitz strategy -- a strategy that really benefited Poland more than Russia, I might add.
The second part went alright, too, or so I though. Mike and I had tangled in David Cohen's COTA game a couple years back. I got the better of him in that game, and he was pretty hostile about it, so I was prepared for some residual hard feelings. I figured he would be too suspicious to believe a big, friendly approach, so I started off trying to act wary but neutral, and tried to make it seem like I wanted to open slow and would allow Mike to "convince" me to work with him.
Didn't work. Mike made exactly the moves he needed to make to thwart my bltiz. He couldn't stop me from taking Helsingfors, but he took St. Petersburg from me and so there was no advantage either way.
How did this happen, I wondered? Either (a) Mike read my mind, or (b) Lee leaked the plans. Mike implied it was the latter. Since I figured he was just as likely to say that whether it was true or false, I didn't react to it, but this remains the big question in my mind about the game. (If true, I can only imagine Lee regrets it even more than I do.)
Poland's attack on Sweden was highly successful. Of course this made it hard to get Fredrik (Sweden) to help with Finland. I tried hard over a couple of game years to persuade Fredrik to help me cripple Finland quickly so that I could then help him in return with Poland. He was just encouraging enough to make me think he would do so, but he wouldn't follow through.
Meanwhile, Poland was also proceeding to grab all the neutral SC between our two countries. I feared that he was positioning for the solo so I fell back on him and, with Finland's support, was able to stop his forward progress. Once that was achieved, I tried to find a way to make a line that balanced Poland and Finland and where they would both need to keep me alive to prevent the other from winning. If Sweden would do the same, we'd have a nice little draw and be done by Thanksgiving.
This would have worked, I believe, except that Fredrik decided to throw the game to Finland. Or allowed himself to be duped. Or went on an insane vendetta against Poland. I don't care. It all led to the same embarassing result.
Hey, if that's how it's done around here I could have thrown the game to Poland three months ago and saved us all a lot of trouble.
I don't know what was said between the other players, but unless I hear that Lee stepped hard over the line of impropriety in talking to Fredrik, this result was a farce.
I'm also curious to hear what Mike told Fredrik to keep him pointed at Poland for so long and to not protect himself. Was it the promise of a two-way draw? If so, shame on you. I would be embarassed to pull that stunt on a newbie. Maybe it's your version of tough love? "The guy has to learn." Something like that? Enlighten us, please.
Okay, that's my say. Remember the bit about this being my shortest and easiest EOG to write? It really was, believe it or not.
See ya 'round, maybe.

- Good Day, I am Mr.HalamouHale Kum, Secretary to the Senior Credit Officer of BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) here in Burkina Faso.Here is a 100% concealed and mutually profitable business proposal for you. After the United States and Iraqi war, our client Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah who was the deputy governor of Baghdad in Iraq and also business man made a numbered deposit with a value of (£15M) FIFTEEN MILLION British Pounds only in our Bank here in Burkina Faso. We later found out that the Deputy Governor has been assasinated in Baghdad.The websites below is a proof and verification ofthenewsabouthisdeath:http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr//1/hi/world/middle_east/3970619.stm http://www.uslaboragainstwar.org/article.php?id=6979 .After further investigation, it was also discovered that Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of the fund. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Fifteen million British pounds is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. I will like you as a neutral person to stand in as the next of kin to Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah so that you will be able to receive his funds with my assistance as the insider. I want you to know that I have had everything planned out and i have done all the underground work of this business so that we come out successful. All that is required from you now is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that i can fix in your name as the NEXT OF KIN and send you an application letter which you will fill in and forward to the bank for the claim. There are no risks involved in the matter, in as much as you follow up my instructions and directives as an insider, we will achieve our aim. Once the fund have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shallshare in the ratio of 65% for me, 30% for you and 5% for the motherless babies. If you are interested, please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication,and i will provide you with more details of this transaction.PLEASERESPONDTOMEIMMEDIATELY.

| DC191 Study In Baltic - Fall 1913 - A Baltic Resol... - former.trout (Jan 20, 2009, 7:58 pm) |
Hey folks,
We start off the Fall 1913 turn with some prophetic press from Poland. Its prophetic, I say, because with a powerful move into 12 centers Finland seizes the solo and our Study In Baltic reaches its blazing conclusion. Sweden wins a small victory in Malmo, finally taking that center of years of attempts. And Russia ekes out a survival - seizing Brest and escaping certain death.
A big congratulations goes out to Mike for his solo victory, and a very big hats off to all players for a very well-played game. EOG Statements are very-much encouraged... =)
Cheers everyone! We'll see you all in the next battlefield.

Poland Press:
Poland calls vote for Finland solo. no point in carrying on since he cannot be stopped
and considering recent game ending over "arranged" draws then this cannot end in
a Finland/Sweden draw.

Heya folks,
Theres blood in the water after the Fall 08 turn... Remains to be seen whether it will attract the sharks or not. There's no retreats needed from the Fall though the army in St Petersburg and the army in Ankara both meet a grisly end.
Builds are owed from Italy and Russia - deadline for Winter 08 will be set for Thursday, Jan 22nd (11:59 PM GMT). As always, just shout out if you spot any errors.
Cheers!

| DC232 Brief Spring 02 Adjudication Delay - former.trout (Jan 20, 2009, 12:50 pm) |
Heya folks,
Apologies for that brief interlude while some minor issues got cleared up. The Spring was a little Blitzed as we had 3 misorders and one NMR mixed up in the works... The details:
- I could not find any orders in the inbox from Germany. Apologies but this means that the Kaisers forces hold position in the Spring.
- Russia ordered Baltic -> Sweden but the fleet is actually in the Gulf of Bothnia
- Italy ordered Tyrrhenian -> West Med but the fleet is actually in Tunis
- Turkey ordered Constantinople -> Bulgaria(sc) but the fleet is actually in Smyrna
With the smoke cleared from the battle-field, there actually was ONE retreat resulting. However it had only one option, so I took the liberty and moved the Turkish Bulgaria army to Constantinople. (If OTB is preferred by the Sultan, please just let us know.)
Which all leads to the Fall 1902 deadline. Please have orders in on Thursday, Jan 22nd (21:00 GMT). Moves should be sent to Cory with a CC to the orders inbox... =)
Shout out if you spot any errors. Cheers!
