Go, Go, Gumball!

I have to applaud you all on another very entertaining turn.  Is it as much fun to play as it is to watch?  I hope so.

This season's highlights include:
. Turkish magic.  "I wave my hands like so, and 'Poof!'  The Russian fleet has disappeared!"
. Russia, meanwhile, is studiously unimpressed.  "Shut up and give me back Rumania," says he.
. The French army in Brest challenges their mates in Piedmont to surmount the Alps.  "No thanks!" reply the sensible soldiers.  "It's back to Marseilles for some R & R."
. The English admirals rotate their fleets counter-intra-sideways-sort-of, while the marines chase reindeer into Finland.
. German units adopt a similar fire-drill approach, but at least in their case they
stumble into Copenhagen.  "Give us a kiss, Fraulein Mermaid."
. Italy lands a fleet in the Near Eastern port of Smyrna, while back home the canals of Venice host their "friends" from Austria.  "Just protecting you from the Frusskies, buddy," offers the not-terribly-abashed Archduke.

I can't wait to see how this will resolve in the Fall.  Play on!
