Hi Players,

So now it's year two of our little adventure.  If last year was jostling for position, this is the year that punches get exchanged.  At least, that's what happens in the east.  In the west, it's do-si-do and everybody rotate to the right. 

Highlights:

. England ducks the war with France and finds himself with two friends eager to escort him into Sweden.

. France shifts hard to the Atlantic, only to find the English fleet has slipped away.  Was it only there to distract from the German army now in Burgundy?

. Germany, meanwhile swings and misses at the Russian army in Silesia as that unit also moves away before it can be swatted

. Austria and Turkey both want Rumania, but with no coordination it's a big bounce
and the space stays white for one more season.

. And finally, our last neutral falls to the little green sailors... at least for now.

With only the one choice, the Austrian army dislodged from Galicia auto-retreats to Vienna.  If the Archduke prefers to retreat off-the-board instead he need only let me know within 24 hours and I'll post the change.

Fall 1902 is up next.  Deadline is Wednesday, June 3, at 8 pm Eastern US time.

Play on!

Chris
