Austria retreats. (Or is this a strategic re-allocation of central business assets?). Summer 1904 is due Monday, November 8 at 10:00 a.m. CST (now 16:00 GMT thanks to Daylight Savings Time). I can adjudicate this afternoon if there???s a quick turnaround.
The Austrian army in Serbia retreats to Albania unless otherwise ordered.
The Austrian fleet in Ionian Sea may retreat to Adriatic Sea, Apulia, Tunis, or off the board.
Fall 1904 will be due Friday, November 12 at 10:00 a.m. CST (16:00 GMT).
In the West??? Germany gambles and leaves Holland unsupported. It works! The result is one disbanded English fleet in Skagerrak. Many units do not move, though German armies dance a little shuffle while French and Russian fleets advance on the flanks. Surely the winners in all this standoff are the Eastern powers, right?
In the East??? Austria???s future is looking very dour. Turkey???s is not much better. The Sultan suffers a bout of coastal confusion which wouldn???t have mattered anyway, since F Aegean failed to occupy Ionian. Still, Russian and Italian units are on the move everywhere. It???s a bloomin??? hornet???s nest, it is.
