Hey there guys... I have some good news, bad news and then more good news.  So here we go.

First, my computer is finally back online.  I have access to all my maps and everything is good to go from my end.  Thank-you for your patience and I'm sorry I haven't been more communicative in the meantime.

Second, I take off for a conference on Saturday and anticipate being back on the first of January, so we may get your builds in before I go (or maybe not... depending on whether or not everyone gets them in) but the Spring will be a while in coming.

Third, for those who thought this game's pace was too slow even before my computer took off, the Winter Blitz Tournament will be starting up soon.  Go to the diplomaticcorp website and look to the top.  There will be a graphic advertising the Blitz.  One year in each of those games takes only a week and there are no delays allowed.  I've played in it the last couple of years and have enjoyed my time there.

So, then, without further ado, let's move on to the Winter adjustments.

Austria: 1 sc - 1 unit = even
England: 2 sc's - 4 units = 2 disbands
France: 10 sc's - 8 units = 2 builds
Italy: 4 sc's - 5 units = 1 disband
Russia: 11 sc's - 10 units = 1 build
Turkey: 6 sc's - 5 units = 1 build

Next deadline: I will set this, as strange as it sounds, for Friday (Christmas Day) 8pm CST, in the hopes that you might be able to get it in before then.  I realize this might be a lot to ask, so I won't adjudicate unless I've got all orders in.  If we can't get it by then, I'll adjudicate when I get back in January (the 1st).
