Go, Go, Gumball!
Now that's what I'm talking about! I know I was a little harsh on you guys last year. Sorry about that, but I'm happy that for whatever reason things are really happening now. Like what, you ask?
Like convoys:
1. English A Edinburgh convoys to Norway. Bounce! But maybe that's a good thing because...
2. French A Picardy convoys to Wales. Success!
3. French A Spain convoys to North Aftrica. Oops, forgot the boat. Nice idea, though!
Like kick-ass conflict:
1. Austria and Italy finally get all the parts hooked up correctly. Welcome to Constantinople, boys!
2. Everybody wants to go to Silesia. But not everybody put enough effort into it. It's
2-to-1-to-1 in favor of Germany.
3. When is a stab not a stab? When a feint at Rome proves to be just a setup to kicking a Froggish army out of Piedmont.
Like "Russian Regrets":
1. Russia loses once: Germany walks into St. Pete unopposed.
2. Russia loses twice: The Tsar finally attacks Sevastopol with two units, only to find the meddlesome Archduke propping up that annoying Turkish fleet.
And just for old times sake, like "Where I put brain again?"
1. Italian F Venice tries to hold in Trieste.
2. French A Piedmont tries to convince somebody, anybody, to move against Rome. Can't blame you for trying, Pierre, but do remember next time that "Tyr" is not a legal abbreviation (use Tys or Tyl). Of course, we presume you realize that even if it were, what you ask just ain't possible -- at least, not with the board we're looking at.
RETREATS: Only one choice
for each unit, so they've been auto-retreated as follows. If you want to disband the unit instead, just let me know within 24 hours.
French A Piedmont retreats to Marseilles.
Turkish F Constantinople retreats to Black Sea.
NEXT DEADLINE: Wednesday, September 8, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern US time.
Cheers,
Chris
