Given the pattern, it's no surprise that England NMRs yet again. France takes advantage by convoying to Wales, even as Germany and Italy quickly close in on French home centers. Meanwhile, Turkey sinks the Russian warm-water fleet stuck in port, and Austria marches into Ukraine. But a bounce in Greece may signal a crack in the A/T alliance.
Two units are dislodged, both Russian. However, only one has a chance to survive into next year:
The Russian fleet in Sevastopol has no valid retreats and is destroyed.
The Russian army in Ukraine may retreat to Moscow, Warsaw, or OTB.
Tsar Jack will have a retreat order due for the dislodged army in Ukraine during the Autumn 1902 retreat phase.
Winter 1902 adjustments will be as follows:
Austria: build 1
Italy: build 1
Russia: no change (or build 1 if retreat OTB)
Turkey: build 1
Both the Autumn 1902 retreat and the Winter 1902 adjustments will be due at the same time, tomorrow, Friday 1/21 at 3pm Central (US) / 21:00 GMT. You may submit conditional builds that are contingent on the Russian autumn retreat, since that phase precedes winter adjustments. Important reminder: your conditional winter orders cannot be made contingent on someone else's winter orders!
