England returns to the game just in time to defend London and Belgium against French attacks. France does manage to move to the Irish Sea. Austria's move on Venice is rebuffed by Italy and France, but those two powers are unable to stop Turkey from sailing to the Ionian Sea.

One autumn retreat is due:
The Italian fleet in the Ionian Sea may retreat to Apulia, Tunis, or Tyrrhenian Sea.

Winter 1909 adjustments will be as follows:
Austria: build 1
England: build 3
France: no change or remove 1, depending on retreat
Italy: remove 1 or no change, depending on retreat

Both the autumn retreat and winter adjustments will be due tomorrow, Friday 5/29 at 3pm Central (US) / 20:00 GMT. Michael, if you wish to announce your retreat ahead of the deadline, please let me know. Mikael, since the Italian retreat may not be known before the deadline, I will accept a contingent removal order.
