Hi guys,

the Army of Flanders' long trek across Germany has brought it to the Baltic
shore. Since however Sweden couldn't use its spare builds anyway (as Stettin
and Riga are both blocked), this retreat didn't have any material impact on
the adjustments as Spain chose to waive a build.

BTW, does anyone of you actually use the Realpolitik-Files I've been
attaching to adjucations? As a player I'd find that very useful to work
through various scenarios, but if nobody uses it, I won't include it in
future.

Anyway, preliminary Spring 1654 orders are due on Saturday and the spring
deadline shall follow on Monday, 6 PM CET.

Liebe Grüsse,

Charles
