Before we get started with this spring's adjudication, I'd like everybody to take a moment to do this little exercise. First take your index finger, and extend it straight out - possibly with a slight curviture. Next, insert said finger into your mouth, and set the pad of your finger comfortably against the concave arch of your cheek. Then by applying a moderate amount of outward pressure in a quick yet controlled fashion, snap your wrist outward, causing your finger leave your mouth with a popping sound. Now that my friends, is the last sound the Italians hear in Albania as their fleet gets popped. Some creative orders by Austria see one less unit on their border. Will it be enough to save the once-grand empire? Well with the French moving to Tuscany, there's no telling what may happen next!

There is one Retreat - Italian A Ven may retreat to Pie or Rom by tomorrow 3pm Central, then fall will be due Monday 1/25.

Enjoy!
