Oh never mind. Now my email client decides to display it properly. As if I haven't embarassed myself enough already this game...
I'll retreat to Brest. OTB isn't happening, and going to Spain would be silly. That's final. You can adjudicate it whenever you like.

Eastern Ukraine, Crimean Peninsula, Sevastopol
The tides of war never stop turning - a lesson the Polish troops occupying the Eastern Ukraine by now will have learned. The recent days might be a turning point in the sheer unstoppable advance of the Polish Armed Cavalry, their ranks bolstered by the tanks of their German allies. After having won one of the bloodiest battles of the war so far at Sevastopol, burning two thirds of the strategically important city to ashes, the Soviet remnants were driven into the countryside, scattering in the snow-covered plains. The more surprised was the Polish Generality, as the reconnaissance found the remaining Soviet Army holding on to Stalingrad advancing in full force towards Sevastopol. With the Polish line of communication constantly harassed by Soviet attacks, the lines of defense built slower tan expected, and more forces were relocated to meet the desperate Soviets in the plains before they could once again dig in the ruined streets of Sevastopol. A small series of skirmishes began, drawing more and more attention to the north towards Kharkov and away from the Crimean Peninsula. Polish troops closed in on the Soviet army, trying to cut the route to Stalingrad and circumvent it southwards - expecting to be the anvil for the Polish hammer from Moscow to fall - they took the bait Stalin had prepared...
With the coastal lines of Odessa and Sevastopol only defended with a minimum garrison, Turkish troops launched a major naval assault and amphibious landing. Within 3 days, the Turkish troops were able to secure a coastal strip as far as 60 km inland from Odessa and 85 km inland from Sevastopol, amassing heavy artillery and AT guns in the area. While in the north-east, the Soviet army withdrew, the Polish found themselves with one option left: retreat to Kiev, now facing a closed Turkish front line ranging from Chisinau, Moldavia to Zaporozhye, Eastern Ukraine. The tides of war never stop turning, they say...

| dc330: Important and reminder - dknemeyer (Sep 12, 2010, 8:20 pm) |
Hi Everyone,
First, I regret that David (Italy) is having email problems. He has asked, for the time being, to use this email address to communicate with him. You may want to re-forward messages if you have expected but not received a response:
"Gould, David (DPS)"
Also, don't forget our deadline is Tuesday! It should be a big season across the ol' continent - and beyond.

| DC330 British offices closed until Sunday - sunchung (Sep 11, 2010, 9:40 am) |
Fellow Diplomats,
I will be out of touch and have no access to email until Sunday evening (heading out to Yosemite for my daughter's first camping trip). I'll follow up with emails then.
Enjoy the weekend!

Hi Everyone,
I think Britain also gets a build for the disbanded unit. Apologies: because I combine the autumn and winter seasons into one adjudication Realpolitik does not give me accurate build orders. I have to do them manually and am not accustomed to looking back for multiple disbands. Sorry.
Let me know what else I've missed!

As 1940 starts winding to a close we take a moment to look away from the war and consider international affairs:
The indecisive posture of the United States is poignantly illustrated on August 4: General John J. Pershing urges all-out aid to Britain in a nationwide radio broadcast, while Charles Lindbergh is the features speaker at a large isolationist rally in Chicago
On August 21 Leon Trotsky died in Mexico from axe wounds sustained the previous day by an NKVD agent. In light of the present Soviet struggles in the European engagement one wonders if Trotsky's leadership might have made a difference
In September the United States begins converting National Guard Divisions: the newly-formed U.S. Army 45th Infantry Division is activated and ordered into federal service
On September 12, away from military activity, a group of young Frenchmen hiking in Lascaux discover 17,000 year-old cave paintings
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 on September 16, creating the first peacetime draft in U.S. history
On October 16 draft registration begins. It is believed that 16 million men will eventually be so conscripted

Hi Everyone,
I think Britain also gets a build for the disbanded unit. Apologies: because I combine the autumn and winter seasons into one adjudication Realpolitik does not give me accurate build orders. I have to do them manually and am not accustomed to looking back for multiple disbands. Sorry.
Let me know what else I've missed!

Hi Everyone,
FYI, I made a mistake on the last adjudication. Since Italy had a disband last year he gets two builds instead of one.
Apologies for any confusion.

Best season of this game, by far. There are only 3 builds despite many centers changing hands from one end of the continent to the next. Clarity seems to be forming around the end game: will momentum roll toward an inevitable result, or will the human factor take this massive conflict into a different direction?!
As 1940 starts winding to a close we take a moment to look away from the war and consider international affairs:
The indecisive posture of the United States is poignantly illustrated on August 4: General John J. Pershing urges all-out aid to Britain in a nationwide radio broadcast, while Charles Lindbergh is the features speaker at a large isolationist rally in Chicago
On August 21 Leon Trotsky died in Mexico from axe wounds sustained the previous day by an NKVD agent. In light of the present Soviet struggles in the European engagement one wonders if Trotsky's leadership might have made a difference
In September the United States begins converting National Guard Divisions: the newly-formed U.S. Army 45th Infantry Division is activated and ordered into federal service
On September 12, away from military activity, a group of young Frenchmen hiking in Lascaux discover 17,000 year-old cave paintings
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 on September 16, creating the first peacetime draft in U.S. history
On October 16 draft registration begins. It is believed that 16 million men will eventually be so conscripted
Franklin D. Roosevelt is elected to an unprecedented third term as U.S. President on November 5
On December 14 plutonium is first isolated chemically in the laboratory
There are 2 retreats this season; upcoming deadlines at the end of this note:

And now, for a GM's best friend, player press!
Italian Press:
It has been announced that President Mussolini is paying a state visit to Munich. El Duce will be speaking to the people of Bavaria, the beating heart of German fascism, and offering to make them part of the thus-far successful European fascist experiment. While he understands that nationalistic sentiment has previously been the key to fascism, a pan-European fascist state has long been a dream of his.
Mussolini said, 'We believe that it was a mistake for the German people to have deposed the National Socialists. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and we were flattered when the Germans copied we Italians in placing thugs and murderers in high office. Them heading down the path of democracy provides a bad example to fledgling dictatorships all over the world. Oppression and bigotry and acts of aggression against peaceful nations are fragile flowers that need constant tending against the diseases of freedom, amity and equality. Hopefully, Germans will come to understand their error. If they don't, we'll shoot them.'

Press from the USSR:
Beirut, New Khanate of Libanon, January 23rd
Reports from the Levante confirm the rumors spreading in the east - the Soviet Leadership has evacuated the burning steppes of their homeland. Several limousines with turkish military escort have been seen waiting in the military part of the harbour close to a turkish Navy Ship destined to leave for Crete the same afternoon. While the Generals and their Staff have chosen to dig into Stalingrad and repel the Polish forces slowly surrounding the city, the exact whereabouts of the Soviet leadership still remains unknown. They have most likely chosen exile to remain in position for rebuilding their homeland once the tides of war turn. As the German industry ceases pumping millions of Reichsmark into bolstering the Polish Army, this day might come sooner than hoped for...

Press from the Republic of Spain:
The Socialist Republic of Spain announces the end of the civil war! Celebrations throughout the country remained peacefully, only dampened by the sad news coming from the cradle of socialism in the east. While the rest of europe is torn into pieces, Spain maneged to reunite the people not only in the streets. The world Public is truly surprised to be confronted with the first official note from Spain coming from the newly appointed minister of lesser peaceful affairs, Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco y Bahamonde Salgado Pardo:
"People of the world! Spain is united again and it's glorious people are one in their heart, their mind, and the true moral values they follow. It is my pleasure to announce, that - following the new common ideal of all Spain - we wish to guarantee every citizen of the Iberian peninsula, the Spanish islands and all lands where the Spanish soul still burns in the heart of the people Justice and Equality while preserving the values of the past, that allowed Spain to be a great nation. Thus we call on you, people of Great Spain, to unite as one force, repel every one inducing hardship and foreign ideas on you and lead Spain to a future as glorious as the past!"
With the Spanish fleet approaching the waters of Gibraltar and the former Spanish Republican Army now bolstered by the ranks of the former nationalists, the peace in Spain might be of limited duration.

Nick,
I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying! My sailors just want to see what all the hoopla is about Dubai and those crazy man-made islands! The Turks can go via train right? They don't *need* to go via sea.

Okay, David, Karsten, I have to congratulate you: that was some truly hilarious player press there. Good job!
Also, Wladimir... could you just maybe, pretty please let Sun take the Arabian Sea so he can clear out of SWA? That'd be great, thanks.

The Chinese NRA is soundly defeated in a counter-offensive against the Japanese IJA. Experts claim this is the last gasp for a potential Chinese offensive. While Japanese control of large areas of China remains the status quo the occupiers are struggling to adequately garrison their expansive holdings; further expansion bogs down.

And now, for a GM's best friend, player press!
Italian Press:
It has been announced that President Mussolini is paying a state visit to Munich. El Duce will be speaking to the people of Bavaria, the beating heart of German fascism, and offering to make them part of the thus-far successful European fascist experiment. While he understands that nationalistic sentiment has previously been the key to fascism, a pan-European fascist state has long been a dream of his.
Mussolini said, 'We believe that it was a mistake for the German people to have deposed the National Socialists. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and we were flattered when the Germans copied we Italians in placing thugs and murderers in high office. Them heading down the path of democracy provides a bad example to fledgling dictatorships all over the world. Oppression and bigotry and acts of aggression against peaceful nations are fragile flowers that need constant tending against the diseases of freedom, amity and equality. Hopefully, Germans will come to understand their error. If they don't, we'll shoot them.'

Press from the USSR:
Beirut, New Khanate of Libanon, January 23rd
Reports from the Levante confirm the rumors spreading in the east - the Soviet Leadership has evacuated the burning steppes of their homeland. Several limousines with turkish military escort have been seen waiting in the military part of the harbour close to a turkish Navy Ship destined to leave for Crete the same afternoon. While the Generals and their Staff have chosen to dig into Stalingrad and repel the Polish forces slowly surrounding the city, the exact whereabouts of the Soviet leadership still remains unknown. They have most likely chosen exile to remain in position for rebuilding their homeland once the tides of war turn. As the German industry ceases pumping millions of Reichsmark into bolstering the Polish Army, this day might come sooner than hoped for...

Press from the Republic of Spain:
The Socialist Republic of Spain announces the end of the civil war! Celebrations throughout the country remained peacefully, only dampened by the sad news coming from the cradle of socialism in the east. While the rest of europe is torn into pieces, Spain maneged to reunite the people not only in the streets. The world Public is truly surprised to be confronted with the first official note from Spain coming from the newly appointed minister of lesser peaceful affairs, Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco y Bahamonde Salgado Pardo:
"People of the world! Spain is united again and it's glorious people are one in their heart, their mind, and the true moral values they follow. It is my pleasure to announce, that - following the new common ideal of all Spain - we wish to guarantee every citizen of the Iberian peninsula, the Spanish islands and all lands where the Spanish soul still burns in the heart of the people Justice and Equality while preserving the values of the past, that allowed Spain to be a great nation. Thus we call on you, people of Great Spain, to unite as one force, repel every one inducing hardship and foreign ideas on you and lead Spain to a future as glorious as the past!"
With the Spanish fleet approaching the waters of Gibraltar and the former Spanish Republican Army now bolstered by the ranks of the former nationalists, the peace in Spain might be of limited duration.

Also, Wladimir... could you just maybe, pretty please let Sun take the Arabian Sea so he can clear out of SWA? That'd be great, thanks.

While Japanese control of large areas of China remains the status quo the occupiers are struggling to adequately garrison their expansive holdings; further expansion bogs down.

Italian Press:
It has been announced that President Mussolini is paying a state visit to Munich. El Duce will be speaking to the people of Bavaria, the beating heart of German fascism, and offering to make them part of the thus-far successful European fascist experiment. While he understands that nationalistic sentiment has previously been the key to fascism, a pan-European fascist state has long been a dream of his.
Mussolini said, 'We believe that it was a mistake for the German people to have deposed the National Socialists. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and we were flattered when the Germans copied we Italians in placing thugs and murderers in high office. Them heading down the path of democracy provides a bad example to fledgling dictatorships all over the world. Oppression and bigotry and acts of aggression against peaceful nations are fragile flowers that need constant tending against the diseases of freedom, amity and equality. Hopefully, Germans will come to understand their error. If they don't, we'll shoot them.'

The English have a funny way of rubbing off their principles wherever they go. We do not need anymore leaders the like of the Shah in our "near abroad".
Also, Sun never said please like Nick did.
Agreed on the press. It was great!

Nick,
I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying! My sailors just want to see what all the hoopla is about Dubai and those crazy man-made islands! The Turks can go via train right? They don't *need* to go via sea.

Okay, David, Karsten, I have to congratulate you: that was some truly hilarious player press there. Good job!
Also, Wladimir... could you just maybe, pretty please let Sun take the Arabian Sea so he can clear out of SWA? That'd be great, thanks.

And now, for a GM's best friend, player press!
Italian Press:
It has been announced that President Mussolini is paying a state visit to Munich. El Duce will be speaking to the people of Bavaria, the beating heart of German fascism, and offering to make them part of the thus-far successful European fascist experiment. While he understands that nationalistic sentiment has previously been the key to fascism, a pan-European fascist state has long been a dream of his.
Mussolini said, 'We believe that it was a mistake for the German people to have deposed the National Socialists. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and we were flattered when the Germans copied we Italians in placing thugs and murderers in high office. Them heading down the path of democracy provides a bad example to fledgling dictatorships all over the world. Oppression and bigotry and acts of aggression against peaceful nations are fragile flowers that need constant tending against the diseases of freedom, amity and equality. Hopefully, Germans will come to understand their error. If they don't, we'll shoot them.'

Press from the USSR:
Beirut, New Khanate of Libanon, January 23rd
Reports from the Levante confirm the rumors spreading in the east - the Soviet Leadership has evacuated the burning steppes of their homeland. Several limousines with turkish military escort have been seen waiting in the military part of the harbour close to a turkish Navy Ship destined to leave for Crete the same afternoon. While the Generals and their Staff have chosen to dig into Stalingrad and repel the Polish forces slowly surrounding the city, the exact whereabouts of the Soviet leadership still remains unknown. They have most likely chosen exile to remain in position for rebuilding their homeland once the tides of war turn. As the German industry ceases pumping millions of Reichsmark into bolstering the Polish Army, this day might come sooner than hoped for...

Press from the Republic of Spain:
The Socialist Republic of Spain announces the end of the civil war! Celebrations throughout the country remained peacefully, only dampened by the sad news coming from the cradle of socialism in the east. While the rest of europe is torn into pieces, Spain maneged to reunite the people not only in the streets. The world Public is truly surprised to be confronted with the first official note from Spain coming from the newly appointed minister of lesser peaceful affairs, Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco y Bahamonde Salgado Pardo:
"People of the world! Spain is united again and it's glorious people are one in their heart, their mind, and the true moral values they follow. It is my pleasure to announce, that - following the new common ideal of all Spain - we wish to guarantee every citizen of the Iberian peninsula, the Spanish islands and all lands where the Spanish soul still burns in the heart of the people Justice and Equality while preserving the values of the past, that allowed Spain to be a great nation. Thus we call on you, people of Great Spain, to unite as one force, repel every one inducing hardship and foreign ideas on you and lead Spain to a future as glorious as the past!"
With the Spanish fleet approaching the waters of Gibraltar and the former Spanish Republican Army now bolstered by the ranks of the former nationalists, the peace in Spain might be of limited duration.
