Winter 1902 is due *tomorrow* (Friday, October 15) at 10:00 a.m. CST.

Orders are required from France, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Turkey. Will you be building or disbanding?

But what about Fall retreats? Weren???t two units dislodged? Um, yes. One of them is an ex-unit (no available retreats, no unit). The other had only one retreat option, so I auto-retreated it. The player could override the auto-retreat, but it???d be frivolous, as he also has a disband coming.

In the West: the EF steamroller advances inexorably, pulverizing German armies in its path. But what???s this? A Russian fleet vacates English-owned Norway and heads for the blue seas of the North?! Whose friend is it? Spring 1903 should be informative.

In the East: it???s a Conga line! War -> Gal -> Ukr -> Sev -> Rum -> Bul! Whew! So, Turkey loses a center to Austria who loses a center to Russia. Maybe this is the beginning of the end for Turkey. But maybe this is an appropriate time to mix and match alliances.

Denmark and Greece finally have lords and masters (Germany and Italy, respectively).
