Heya folks,

Apologies about not getting this out last night - was caught on the road on an unexpected trip.  Oh - it was the best of times, it was the worst of times...  As they say.  =)


Anyways, maybe a couple of you will feel the same way concerning this first turn.  Some unexpected and unconventional openings lead the way - it looks as though this ones going to be a ripper.  The usual bounce in the Black Sea is foregone this time, and instead the bounce occurs on the other side of the board in the English Channel.  Meanwhile, the Austrians teach the Serbians a thing or two, and Germany heads north to claim some Danish real estate...


There were a couple errors as well, unfortunately.  The Russian northern fleet starts the game on the south coast, not the north and therefore the order to Norway is void.  Also, regrettably, the province of Tuscany lies in the way and prevents the Italian Rome army from immediate access to Piedmont.  Sorry about that, guys...


No retreats are required and we'll set the Fall 1901 deadline for a weeks time - for Friday, April 10th (11:59 PM GMT).


Cheers all!
