The tide of battle in Europe swings violently back and forth. In the East it appears the Ottoman aggression against Russia in the Sring was a decoy, as the army in Armenia undertakes another surprising convoy to reinforce Turkey's Balkan presence. Meanwhile the troops who had recently entered Greece crossed the Austrian border into Serbia. Russian forces in the North capitalized on German and French military actions against England in order to seize the Scandinavian region of Norway, while the Czar's homeland defences fended off an Austrian push into the Ukraine. In the West the forces of France retreated from the German region of the Ruhr while attempting to form a blockade of England with several fleets. At the same time troops from Italy crossed the French border at Marseilles but were repelled by elements of the Iberian army returning from Spain.
 
There are two retreats this phase, due Wednesday at 23:59. Normally I could speed up the adjudication but right now it's the summer months and we have a player on vacation until Friday. Due to that the Winter adjudications won't be due until later this weekend. This player let me know in advance he would be absent and I want to reiterate if you're aware of vacation plans or other events that will prevent you from accessing email, please let me know prior to the moment--I understand the summer is full of vacations and am pretty lenient on absences with advance notice (one of the benefits of human GMs!)
 
On an unrelated note, does anyone know what is the correct English spelling of Czar/Tsar/Tzar/Csar/Szar?
