The Itean fleet in Denmark retreats to Sweden.
This sets up a bevy of adjustments, most of which have already been submitted as final.
Adaria: Supp 10 Unit 7 Build 3
Itea: Supp 2 Unit 3 Remove 1
Hembria: Supp 1 Unit 2 Remove 1
Zonotrichia: Supp 12 Unit 10 Build 2
Trigspor: Supp 9 Unit 8 Build 1
These orders are due tomorrow at the sophomoric time of 3:00 CST (21:00 GMT).
For your edification in the Useless Knowledge department, I assign *Fail*, *Cut*, *Ordered to Move*, etc. flags based on RealPolitik's adjudication. [The one exception that I can think of right now is that I sometimes have to append a *No Such Unit* flag, which is beyond RealPolitik's capabilities].
So... I actually agree with Maslow's contention that the fleet in Spain did not fail in offering support for F WMe-MAt (though I disagree that the support order was 'wholly invalid'... see below)]. The support was fine. The failure, instead, rests with Maslow's fleet in MAt, which failed to get out of the way, thus rendering the Spanish support bootless. In other words, the failure was assigned to the wrong unit but to the right player But back to the contention, the *Fails* flag reflects RealPolitik's peculiar programming, not my own judgment.
To illustrate the non-failure-ness of the Spanish support, let us imagine that two DRE fleets (rest their souls) had attacked MAt this season (F NAf S F Por-MAt); in this imaginary case, the Spanish support would've been essential in preserving Adarian control of the high seas. [And, just for the record, I checked, and RealPolitik would not have assigned a *Fail* flag either... so perhaps the true failure here really lies with DRE for failing to survive until F1908 and provide effective resistance to Maslow?]
