Apologies for sending this out with the last paragraph incomplete. It should read as follows:
You are further reminded that per the tournament rules, auto-retreats
are only employed when ALL retreating units have only a single choice.
Because the Russian fleet has multiple choices, I need retreat orders from everyone. Failure to submit a retreat will result in your unit being disbanded.

Good evening, Players.
Tonight's headline: Clean Hits & Sloppy Mistakes
The game is still young, but the English King has laid claim to the stab of the game to this point. While our unwitting Kaiser was helping the English fleet into Sweden, our treacherous King was slipping the knife into his benefactor's Dutch ribs.
Meanwhile, in the east, our Balkan mosaic remains unchanged, thanks to complementary cutting of support orders and an embarrassing mistake by our Sultan. It seems that the Constantinople fleet was ordered into the very heart of Bulgaria. Turkish admirals, unable or unwilling to determine whether to go north or south, simply steamed around the Dardanelles for a month and then put
back into port.
The Archduke suffered a misorder of his own, accidentally confusing the name of his capital city with that of his country. There is some small comfort, perhaps, in knowing that had he ordered correctly the same result would have ensued. He'll have another chance in the Fall to recover his composure (and his capital).
RETREATS: Due by 1800 tomorrow, Tuesday, April 5. You are reminded that I reserve the right to adjudicate early if I have all retreats. If that does not suit you, please mark your retreats as preliminary.
German A Holland can retreat to Kiel or OTB.
Russian F Sweden can retreat to Finland or Gulf of Bothnia or Skagerrak or OTB.
Austrian A Vienna can retreat to Bohemia or OTB.
You are further reminded that per the tournament rules, auto-retreats are only employed when ALL retreating units have only a single choice.
Because the Russian fleet has multiple choices,
Cheers,
Chris
