It's also an early Christmas for the Italians as I forgot you have to hold on to the country for two moves. Looks like I'll be joining you soon Frank!

GM Issue: Gentleman, we had our first difficult Gm decision this move and unfortunately it happened twice this round and i was only able to catch one before the deadline.

Spain and Bulgaria both have coasts. Spain has a NC and SC whilst Bulgaria has an EC and SC.
Therefore fleets ordered to either of those territories must be ordered to a coast, if there is the possibility of moving to either. For example

F Mao - Spain (s a VOID move as Mao can move to NC or SC
F Mar - Spain is an accepted move as Mar can ONLY move to SC.

F Con - Bulgaria is a void move as CON can move to EC or SC.
F AEG - Bulgaria is an accepted move as AEg can only move to SC.

I was able to catch this on Keller's orders as he submitted prelims. Unfortunately i was not able to catch this on Marc's orders as he submitted after the scheduled deadline. If it's any consulation Marc, Keller did not get into Bulgaria as his support was cut

Something to watch for in future, OR submit prelims (I mean you can always change them)

In Winter 1903, we will say goodbye to Frank who seems to have been crushed by 3 different nations. Frank - if you want to write up a little end of game statement (what went wrong, how was completely untrustworthy etc).. email it to me and i will publish at the end of the game. Also let me know if you want your email removed from the adjudications or if you are happy to keep receiving them.

Lastitly - from winter 1903, this adjudication will be posted on the www.diplomaticcorp.com site under game dc120 and in the message board forum there. It will not be posted on the DC yahoo group. It will still be emailed to all players.
