Yes indeed - so let's have all your little poems on the underground
wall turned in on time, shall we?

And make sure you get those orders in because B H doesn't want to have any
sounds of silence in this game.

[quote:0395c8f751]Welcome back to the Balkans, as we witness the first (and thus far,
only) contested move of the game - Greece and Italy exchange harsh
words over the future ownership of Palermo, and both shell the
rebellious city mercilessly before withdrawing their fleets. All
other moves succeed exactly as ordered. Which leaves us with a
pleasantly retreat-less autumn, so we can move straight away into the
Winter adjustments. Mike has the biggest present waiting in his
stocking this Christmas, as the sole player to net three builds in the
first year. All others brought home two, save the Ottomans, who have
one - but repositioned his forces admirably to compensate.

Thanks to all who have been CCing me on player negotiations - from
those that I have been able to read, I think there were a few pleasant
surprises in these results for some players, who expected a much less
favorable outcome.

PLAYERS:

ITALY: Adam Levy
AUSTRIA-HUNGARY: Allen York
SERBIA: Garry Bledsoe
GREECE: Nigel Phillips
ROMANIA: Mike Sims
BULGARIA: Ross Webb
OTTOMAN EMPIRE: Gregory Bim-Merle

NEXT DEADLINE: Monday, 25 January 2010, 1700 EST. As is my custom,
if I have all Winter Adjustments in and marked as final before 1700
EST tomorrow (Friday, 22nd January 2010) then I will adjudicate the
winter adjustments and you can have the weekend to negotiate for the
Spring. Otherwise the deadline remains Monday for the Winter.

Prelims are most heartily encouraged, as is press, and CCing the GM on
player
negotiations (kept in confidence, used for playtest analysis only).
Speaking of press - we have some!

Anonymous Press:

...Who knew that the Serbs had a Fleet? Let alone one worthy of
sailing the Adriatic? Oh wait, a dingy doesn't count...

...Since when have the Ottomans EVER left Greece alone? Hello? Trojan
War? Cyprus invasion?
