Fall 1902 sees the first real clashes across the map, with a Turkish army taking Sevastopol thanks to Austria getting involved in Ukraine. Russia compensates in the North by taking Norway from England, whilst in the west, England and France continue their dance. England sees a convoy fail, whilst in the south Italy and Austria continue to face off over Trieste and Vienna.
Unfortunately, this turn saw our first NMR - Germany didn't submit orders by the deadline, so all their forces hold. This is Germany's first NMR, and a second NMR will see them declared as being in civil disorder, and a replacement player may be sought. Can I remind folk of the important of submitting preliminaries to avoid close to the deadline problems?
First retreats of the game are needed this turn...can we have these by Monday 14th at 2100 GMT from England and Russia please. I'd look to be getting Winter adjustments in by Wednesday 16th, but if the retreats are in early, I may be able to make the winter deadline for Tuesday.
