Hey guys,

Adam (England) has requested to be removed from the game due to my
grace period policy, with which he has decided he does not agree
despite the fact that it has been in my house rules since day one.
Thus I am forced to pause the game to search for a replacement; I do
not want to even set the retreat deadline because I want the
replacement player to be able to order England's two possible retreats
since his winter situation is so highly dependent on them. The DC
Light Brigade is pretty good about filling holes, even in situations
like this that might be less than desirable, so sit tight and we'll
resume the game as soon as possible.

[quote:e77818911e]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.
