- TIME STOPPING BANDITS APPREHENDED - CLOCKS EVERYWHERE RESUME TICKING
- KIRBATI PIRATES RAID SOCIETY ISLANDS - PREVENT ANNIHILATION OF BRAZILIAN SOUTH PACIFIC FLEET
- DUTCH EAST INDIA STOCKS SOAR IN BIGGEST TRADING DAY IN HISTORY
- AUSTRIAN TROOPS SEEK OUT THE HEART OF DARKNESS, FIND THE HORROR, THE HORROR...

Yes! Spring 1866 falls into place at last. There was laughing, there was crying. Drama AND excitement. The sheep bleeted and the cats honked. All in all, an exciting turn. The Confederates and the Yanks continue their North American ballet, while the US navy joins with the Mexicans to spring a little surprise on the Japanese. In the other big water, France and Holland unite in forcing the surging Brazilian navy back. A plague of peace seems to have struck in Europe, Russia jogs eastward and the Chinese masters continue their game of Chinese checkers.

Many retreats due, although no more than a couple have any real choices. Britain, the Confeds, France, Japan and Mexico need to send some troops to newer climes in the summer. Meanwhile, Russia, Brazil and Britain each had an automatic disband. Deadline for Summer 1866 retreats will be set for Wednesday, November 28th (11:59 PM GMT).

As always, please doublecheck the adjudication for mistakes. I think I got everything - but it has been a while so I'm a little rusty. =)

Also - please note that this game is next in line to move to the new forum in Diplomaticcorp. What does this mean for you - only that I won't be sending the results to the old yahoogroups forum. As I send a copy to each of you individually, you should still get them with no change.

Cheers folks! Happy 1866!!
