Wow, I'm lost again. This game reminds me of a face-to-face game with the constantly shifting alliances. None of you trust each other, do you?

Some highlights of this turn: France tries to prop up the germans, but (perhaps expecting a stab?) Germany cuts french support for his own units, and England marches into Kiel. And in a surprise move, Russia attempts to reclaim the homeland, ousting Austria from Sevastapol. Could the russians be on the rise again? And lastly that lone french unit in austria continues in his apparent quest to circumnavigate the globe. I'm still not sure if this is a stab, or by invitation. Clark, if that unit walks all the way to Syria, that would be a win in my mind, even if you lose the game.

Also, if you are like I am in diplomacy games, you probably don't read the orders in these emails, and just use the gif or rp file to move on, but I have to encourage you to look through them. F stp (NC) is my favorite unit this game. They support anything and everything!

Housekeeping-wise, Austrian A sev was destroyed, with no place to retreat. F kie could only retreat to Hel, so I took the liberty. If otb is preferred, let me know by tomorrow at 7:00 AM CST. Otherwise the retreat stands. For the rest of you, I'll see you back here thursday at 7:00 AM CST (13:00 GMT). Have a great day!
