The world converges upon Japan, and there's not much he can do about it. Shanghai is dislodged and must disband. Manchuria is dislodged and may retreat to Korea, Vladivostok, or OTB. Honshu just isn't defended.
Japan, please submit your retreat within 24 hours... better yet, within 2.4 hours (or however soon). Then, we'll have 24 hours for Winter 1904, and hopefully we can have S1905 on Friday.
For those peaking ahead to W1904, expect:
India (9 SCs): 1 build (from Pakistan)
Indonesia (
: 1 build (from Shanghai)
Siberia (9): 2 builds (from Manchuria and Honshu)
Japan (4): 2 disbands (assuming no OTB)
Persia (10): twiddle thumbs and wait for the Spring
I'll accept prelims in advance of the retreat
