Hi guys,

the broad front that stretches from Scandinavia down to the Central Mediterranean has been subjected to a fair number of alterations. For starters, Polish lancers have charged across the North German Plain, French regiments taken back Swabia and the Spaniards ousted the Turks from Naples, while losing a number of key positions in that Southern theatre.

Retreats/Adjustments are due NLT 6 PM CET this coming Wednesday. Note that the retreats do affect adjustments, so you may want to submit adjustment orders conditioned on what especially the Spanish retreat shall amount to.

Liebe Grüsse,

Charles
