Gents,
The votes fail; the war continues!!! There are two new votes due with your FALL orders: a 4-way BIPT and a 5-way BIPST.
In what has been a rare occurrence, the Turkish military suffers setbacks in the east, center and west, with armies in Slovakia and Western Ukraine being disbanded and the fleet in Morocco looking for higher ground. There are two retreats:
British F South-Western Approaches can retreat to Irish Sea or Bay of Biscay or Galicia or Gibraltar or OTB
Turkish F Morocco can retreat to Gibraltar or OTB
Sorry for the late adjudication. As some of you are aware I've been diagnosed with both mono and Lyme disease. I'm generally making the best of it but it has been a brutal month that is continuing into a second. Not fun. Anyway...down to business!
