3.Graces, NMR's, and Replacements-All players begin the game with one 24 hour grace period, which is activated the first time no moves are received from that player for
a movement season.The grace extendeds the deadline by 24 hours for ALL players.-Graces cannot and will not be used on retreat or adjustment phases.This explains why he did what he did, though I understand if you feel slighted by it, he's just following his own rules.The rest of the house rules can be found at http://diplomaticcorp.com/houserules/unitedfan1389.txt, if you're interested.I hope you stay in the game.William

The late player was France, so his grace is now used, but he submitted orders before the extended deadline and thus avoids an NMR; the further delay is my fault as I am on vacation and could not access the internet yesterday.

As for the game itself there are some very interesting happenings to report all over the board. England has a rough season in north, losing both Norway and St. Petersburg, although he does regain Liverpool from France. Germany continues to roll, picking up Brest in addition to Norway, and he seems to have made a new friend in the Austrian, whom he helps take Venice.

There are three retreats:
English F Nwy can retreat to Bar, Nwg, or OTB.
English F StP(nc) can retreat to Bar, or OTB.
Italian A Ven can retreat to Apu, Rom, Tus, or OTB.

These retreats and the Winter 1903 adjustments will be due together this coming Monday, August 24, at 9 pm eastern. Adjustments due are listed below the adjudication. As usual I will adjudicate early as soon as I have received orders from all necessary powers.
