Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance...

-------------------------------------

Bounces all across the board as the smoke from Spring 1902 clears. Austria and Russia once again spar over Galicia, St. Petersburg turns into a battleground between England and Russia and in the forests of Ruhr the French and the Germans lock horns. In more successful attacks, the English pry their way into Holland while Italy scoots across the Ionian into Greece.

Two retreats were required after Spring - one an auto-retreat and the other an automatic disband. I auto-retreated the German army in Holland to Kiel as it was the only option - however, if OTB is preferred Alex, please just let me know. Not as lucky, the Turkish army in Greece was removed from the board. Which leads us to the Fall deadline schedule. Orders will be due by Thursday, November 29th (11:59 PM GMT). The deadline is a little longer this turn as Ricardo has just gotten word to me that he is dealing with a family illness.

Also, please note that although it had no real bearing on the game, there were two misorders in this batch of turns.

- Russia ordered a support for NOR from Sweden. The abbreviation NOR could be taken for Norway, North Sea or Norwegian Sea. Although no such attack was ordered, if it had been the Russian support would have been void.

- Germany ordered a fleet move from their unit in Holland when that unit was actually an army. Once again, as per the house rules an incorrect unit designation voids the order.

If I catch these types of mistakes before the adjudication, I will bring them to the players attention. However, I do not always have time to review orders, and thus this should not be relied on. Please always proof-read your orders with the understanding that I will NOT be interpreting what is written... I adjudicate as per what is written in the email.

So - that is that. Please shout out if you spot any errors. Cheers guys!
