Players,

Well, I was just about to go to bed so I checked my Inbox one last time, and lo and behold, there was the last "Final" authorization.  So I propped up my eyelids and dove into it.  Please check carefully!

News of the Season:

> Our two eastern hot spots remain the same, but this time Austria is on the wrong side of both transactions, losing Trieste to Italy and Rumania to the Russo-Turkish team.  Did  he say team?  Yes, he did.

> In the west, A Burgundy, which went for Munich last time, changes course and goes for Belgium, only to find a German army already ensconced therein.

> Every country shows at least one unit except for England.  Where are those crafty Brits, anyway?  That's what this game is all
about, isn't it?


=========================================

Retreats needed:

A Rumania
F Trieste

Retreats to be submitted within 24 hours please.  Retreats are reported to all countries which participated in the dislodgement.  Hence, A Rumania's retreat will be reported to Russia and Turkey.  F Trieste's retreat will be reported to Italy.

Reminder that Austria is NOT informed of the available spaces for retreat.  He must submit his orders blind.

============================================

Next
Phase:

After retreats have been posted, I will send out a new public report containing the SC counts for each nation. 

I recommend that you wait until you receive this report before submitting your Winter/Spring orders, even if you know the Austria retreats do not affect you.


Cheers,
Chris
