Hello Players,

Gumball Gunboat is off and rolling!  Some will be chewed up.  Some will be spat out.  And, with luck and skill, some fortunate one(s) of you will find yourself stuck to the bedpost of victory!

Highlights of the first turn include... um... well, not all that much happened.  F and G played nice.  A and I played nice.  R managed a couple of passive-aggressive bounces with his two southern neighbors.

I'd have to say the most interesting order in round 1 was the one for Austria's fleet in Trieste.  Hey, Admiral, can I loan you an atlas.  Hmmm?

As always, please check the orders and map for errors.

Cheers,
Chris
