Along with countless scores of other determined-looking men, Agent Fresh shuffled slowly forward in the queue, which ran along the walls of the Amalienburg, and through the gates of the Hofstallungen. So much for the crisp air of the Alpes - The throng seeking induction into Tesarik's People's Army gave off a collective scent more akin to subterranean waste disposal systems. Duly arriving before a surly quartermaster, Fresh was issued with a simple, but serviceable new firearm and instructions for his mustering point.
Due to the tip-off from 'Kamerad T'; Fresh had infiltrated Vienna before the Yugoslavian Army's arrival and now, it seemed, his next destination would be decided by the head of a military coup, currently conducting his operations from Serbia. Good news that Kamerad T had regained his liberty, although his colleague asserted with some seriousness in his report that he "may never again buy goats in Sarajevo".
So much for working as Head of the Surveillance Dept. of Europes' oldest and most secret power... It was back to basics for Agent Fresh: No doubt standing tall, charging forward and firing shots at similarly instructed strangers would prove his lot for the next few months. A prospect, as he trudged through the paved byways of the Hoffburg, that Fresh in no way relished. Ah well - there was no way back now: -
Welcome to the Twentieth Century.

Thanks for getting orders in on time folks, I hope you will forgive the continual prodding reminders as we draw close to deadline. This can of course be avoided with the simple act of sending prelimiary orders as soon as you have viewed the attached maps
No retreats, so Summer map is attached too.
Our next turn is Fall 1900, and I shall be adjudicating slightly later than usual. I shall attempt next tuesday night, but there is a chance you will not receive the adjudication until Wednesday 17th.
HOWEVER! DEADLINE FOR FALL 1900 REMAINS AS: NEXT TUESDAY 16th MARCH 12NOON GMT
Despite my comment above, I will not have a chance to send reminders for this turn, so please make sure you supply me with preliminary, or final orders at your earliest convenience.
Best
