Hi Guys,

Okay, I juggled my schedule a little so I could be here and adjudicate right at 6:00.  I don't have any Italian orders, but I don't see how they could possibly make any difference.  He loses Rome, and he can't affect what happens anywhere else on the board.

Quickie news:



End game proposal for RT draw fails.

Russia and Turkey plow forward BUT... interesting moves in and around the Balkans have some observers wondering whether or not a rift may be forming.  It appears that two of the three thought Austria would get to keep Trieste, but one did not.


England and Italy are eliminated.  Thanks for playing, boys!  Maybe next year.


RETREATS:  Italy's retreat is irrelevant.  GM's decision to
retreat OTB.

ADJUSTMENTS:
France is +1
Russia is +2
Turkey is +2

See the details at the end of this message.

NEW EGP:  DIAS -- 4-way draw between Austria, France, Russia and Turkey.  I will accept alternate EGP with adjustment orders.

NEXT DEADLINE:  Builds are due tomorrow by 10:00 p.m.  I can tell you now that unless something extraordinary happens, I won't be adjudicating until after midnight... and if I'm too tired it will be Saturday morning.

If you should all happen to get me your orders by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, and you remember to mark them as FINAL, I'll adjudicate then before I go out.

Cheers,
Chris
