Switching from the lame 8-ball to the magic fortune cookie, for Spring 2002 we find:

Opportunity will soon knock. When it does, answer the door!

With that in mind, we look at the opportunities arising from the Spring 2002 orders. Quebec seeks their fortunes in icy northern waters, California and Texas clash in Colordao with the Heartland casting the deciding vote and Mexico flexes its muscle both north and south. Definitely looks to be an interesting (and bloody) Fall turn. =)

Only one retreat to deal with before moving on to the next season. In the Colorado Rockies, the Texans find it to be a cold thaw as they are dislodged by the Californians. Deadline for the Summer 2002 retreat will be set for Wednesday, January 9th (11:59 GMT.)

As always, if you guys spot any errors please just let me know. Cheers!
