Wow. You guys really gave me a race keeping up with the revisions you sent. A total of 8 Updates in the last 2 hours before deadline. I think I used all of your latest orders, but there were so many sets you should probably check. As a result of all this last minute scrabbling, Russia has taken serious losses against Austria, with captures in Ankara and Rumania, all for a possibly critical foothold in Tyrolia. This turn also marks the Passing of England into oblivion. Well done, John. You played well, holding out for much longer than any of us expected you to.

I would also Like to remind you that we have a vote going on. A 3 way France, Russia, Austria draw has been proposed. I am still missing votes. Please get them to me by tomorrow's deadline.

Austria:
F Aegean Sea - Constantinople
A Ankara Supports A Smyrna - Armenia
A Budapest - Vienna
F Ionian Sea - Adriatic Sea
A Rumania - Sevastopol (*Bounce*)
A Serbia - Bulgaria (*Bounce*)
A Smyrna - Armenia
A Trieste Supports A Budapest - Vienna
A Tyrolia - Bohemia (*Dislodged*)
F Western Mediterranean - Mid-Atlantic Ocean (*Bounce*)

England:

F North Sea - Edinburgh
F Norwegian Sea Supports F North Sea - Edinburgh
A Ruhr Supports A Belgium
A Ukraine - Rumania (*Fails*)
A Vienna Supports A Bohemia - Tyrolia (*Dislodged*)
A Warsaw - Galicia

This autumn we would have had a retreat turn, consisting of:
Russian A Armenia (OTB, Syria)
Russian A Vienna (OTB, Bohemia)
Austrian A Tyrolia (OTB, Venice, Piedmont)

Since I already had provisional retreats from Michael, and Russia's were both single-option retreats, I've already autoed autumn:

Austria:
A Tyrolia - Piedmont

Russia:
A Armenia - Syria
A Vienna - Bohemia

Adjustments are the following:

Austria Build 1
England Remove 1

If you both mark your orders as "final" I'll adjudicate early.
