Hey everyone. As you may have noticed, there's been some talk of trying to speed up the game. Here is how I propose we do this: I will set the deadlines in the same fashion as before, but you are strongly encouraged to submit orders in advance of that deadline. Once I have orders from everyone, I will send out an email that will give everyone 24 hours to revise and then I will adjudicate, if I can. To speed up the game we do, of course, need everyone on board, because I need to get orders from everyone.

If you would like to play quicker games, keep your eye out for the Winter Blitz tournament which will likely start in January. A full year is played in one week and the gm waits for no one (if orders aren't in, they adjudicate anyway).

That being said, please get those orders in on time (or early would be even better).

The Winter adjustments:

Austria:
Remove F Ionian Sea

England:
Build F London

Germany:
Remove F English Channel
Remove A Ruhr

Italy:
Build F Naples

Russia:
Build F St. Petersburg (sc)

Next Deadline: Spring 1904 will be due Wednesday, October 7, noon CDT or 24 hours after I get orders from everyone.
