After this season, we may need a clinic on movement orders.

First, the fleet on the east coast of Bulgaria cannot move to Aegean Sea or Greece. Nor can it support units to move to or hold in those provinces. And if it *could* support units in Aegean to hold, it would be strange to also order F Aegean-Greece.

Second, when supporting another player???s fleet to move, ???F Edi support F-Fleet into NTH??? is *barely* legitimate. Fortunately, Nathan verified his intent with me before the deadline. He has already been admonished to name the other fleet???s province of origin.

Third, you cannot order units you do not have. Such as armies in Apulia. It would be much wiser to submit orders for all of the units you do have. Like armies in Naples.

Fourth, ???F Ionian S - Adriatic Sea??? is ugly. Is it a support order, a movement order, or an invalid order? Originally I thought it should support. I???ve changed my mind. It is an invalid order and therefore holds. [Note: this order would be unambiguous if there had been no fleet in Adriatic to begin with; it could only have implied movement].

You lot are definitely not ready for Broadway

Bearing all of that in mind, we somehow have no retreats. That means that Winter adjustments are due on Monday at 10:00 a.m. CST (16:00 GMT). England, Italy, and Russia have decisions to make.

Austria: Supp 2 Unit 2 Build 0
England: Supp 3 Unit 2 Build 1
France: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0
Germany: Supp 6 Unit 6 Build 0
Italy: Supp 5 Unit 6 Remove 1
Russia: Supp 8 Unit 7 Build 1
Turkey: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0


So, what actually did happen besides a lot of stepping on banana peels? Germany gained the North Sea. French and English units did not move at all. Russia sailed across the Black Sea to Armenia (things do not look good for Turkey). And Austria miraculously lost both his supply centers yet remains at a net zero change for the year. Shawn is no doubt just shaking his head in disbelief.
