I've received a couple of queries as to Italy's status in the game, given an NMR from him for Fall 1906 moves and also for Winter 1906 adjustments.
This *doesn't* place Italy in Civil Disorder...in my house rules, I note that civil disorders are caused by two consecutive NMRs. However, for the purposes of counting NMRs, Spring and Summer count as one season, and Fall, Autumn and Winter as another. To trigger the two consecutive rule, a player needs to miss a move submission in Spring/Summer and then again in Fall/Autumn/Winter (or Fall/Autumn/Winter and then again in Spring/Summer) - so an NMR in Spring and then the lack of a retreat in Summer only counts as one NMR. Or in the case of Italy recently, an NMR for Fall and then again for Winter only counts as one NMR.
Hope this makes sense. I'll acknowledge that this isn't 100% clear in my rules, but this rule is a fairly standard one across the DC site...
Upshot of this is, Italy isn't in civil disorder, as his previous NMR was for Spring 1905. However, if he misses Spring 1907 orders or any Summer 1907 retreats, then he will be placed in civil disorder.
