Austria-Hungary:
A Venezia - Bologna
 
And publicly vote NO to the 3-way.  I'll vote in favor if Greece is included.

Word of the day is: Fail.  RP printed the word *Fails* in this
adjudication more than you'd see in a whole day on failblog.com.  The
curse of the fail struck indiscriminately - Romania, Bulgaria, Greece,
Serbia, and the Ottomans all failed at something or another that they
tried.  Better luck next season.  That leaves Austria - who has the
one retreat order needed for this season, and Italy, who caused said
retreat.  On to the history blurb, at the site of the fiercest
fighting this season: Tirana.

Tirana before the First World War was one of the great bastions of
Islam in Europe.  No Ottoman territory in Europe embraced the culture
and religion of their Turkish overlords more than Tirana.  This
favored status led to regional prominence for Tirana under the Ottoman
reign, though the city slipped into decline as the Ottoman hold over
the region waned.  Independence (and communism) brought even greater
disaster for Tirana and Albania as a whole, which is struggling even
today to emerge and assume its place as a European capital.

***NEXT DEADLINE: I would really like to see Allen's retreat by
tomorrow, though the deadline will have to actually be Tuesday, 1700
EST.  If we *do* get that retreat broadcast before tomorrow, then the
Fall 1867 deadline will be Thursday, June 3rd, at 1700 EST.  If not,
then I will extend the deadline accordingly.

***RETREAT DUE:  Army Venezia may retreat to Trent, Bologna, or OTB.

***DRAW PROPOSAL:  A 3-way BRS draw has been proposed.  Please include
your votes on that proposal with your next set of orders.

***PLAYERS:

ITALY: Adam Levy
AUSTRIA-HUNGARY: Allen York

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
