Hallöle!

Perhaps we are now also going to the previously pacific East heat up now that the Sultan has invaded Transylvania, which only recently had acknowledged the Polish king as overlord. In Northern Germany the Danish-Swedish rivalry and recent Polish intervention has led to much territory swapping hands. And the ranks of minor powers continue to rapidly decrease, allowing for most powers to levy more troops this coming winter.

As you know, you can make any of your adjustments conditional on the simultaneously submitted retreat orders. Retreats/Adjustments are due tomorrow 6 PM. I need to warn you though that the adjucation might only be published on Friday on account of my schedule.

Let me also advertise a replacement opening for the other game I'm GMing, namely for Turkey in a 1900 variant game. We are as yet still in the first year and Turkey's position is pretty good and hasn't suffered any setbacks. Should you be interested in joining 1900_090601, sign up at http://www.floc.net/dpjudge/. 1900 is a truly excellent variant and is considered by many (including me) a superior design to Standard Diplomacy. In my book, any serious dipper owes it to himself to try it at least once. This could be your chance!

Sorry it took me longer to get this out of the door than I had anticipated. More pressing matters got into the way.

Liebe Grüsse,

Charles
