Greetings All,
Nice to see everyone is over the recent bout of shyness. While last turn it seemed we had a roomful of wallflowers, with only 12 units appearing on the dance floor, this season shows 22 units getting down under the strobe lights and the shiny diplo ball. I'm not going to actually look up this next fact, but by blatant assertion I'm going to claim that this is the first time that at least 50% of the units for every single nation have been revealed.
Prominent among our stories: The Witches Meet! Turkey wins the Battle of Moscow, ejecting the English army formerly ensconced therein.
And this is only the first bad news for England. The Russians (remember them?) have apparently decided they prefer beer to vodka. They
don't care if the witches are fighting over Moscow. They're happily setting up shop in Munich and Berlin, the latter newly achieved by dislodging... an English fleet. That's two strikes against King George's boys.
How about the Atlantic war? Surely the proud sons of MOE (merry old England) are winning against their old enemies the French? Well, we can't speak for the whole war, but the Battle for Brest (Round 4) sees that port returning to French hands once more.
Blimey, mate! That's three losses on three fronts! Surely a season of infamy for the mighty British empire. Could this be the beginning of the end of the middle part of the end's beginning for England? Wise "Stabbers" will temper their excitement until tomorrow night when the SC counts for all nations are reported.
RETREATS NEEDED: 3 from England
DEADLINE: ASAP, within 24 hours at the latest. Winter
1905/Spring 1906 will be due on Friday, June 4.
As always, please check these posted results and your country reports for errors. It has been awhile since I had a perfect season. No major blunders to this point (knock wood) but do let me know if you see (or even suspect) a mistake.
Cheers,
Chris
