Welcome to the Game Grid...
We say goodbye to our first player, and it wasn't who we expected. France played a good game, it started well - but is no more. Thanks Benjy. Please feel free to contribute an end of game statement when the game is over.
I am not sure if it is just that time of the game, or if other reasons were a factor, but we had two players with NMRs this turn. I??believe??that was a primary reason both France and Italy did not keep supply centers. Please remember to turn in preliminary orders early,??especially for situations when something unexpected comes up.??
Austria is still in the game, and captured Rome in the process. Turkey played smart: convoying an army by two fleets all the way to the Italian peninsula. England, Germany and Russia continue to dominate the rest of the board. Russia however showed Germany that it was superior on land while Germany proved dominant on the sea. The only dislodged unit was Germany from Munich, and I moved that unit to the only available location for retreat - Ruhr.
