"Vikings resent the end of Scandinavian independence; give their new masters souvenir helmets with the horns pointing inwards!"


"Trieste locals point east towards Serbia and shout, 'She went that-a-way!!!' to Italians searching for lost cat!"


"Wartime alcohol rationing beginning to bite: Battles over control of Greek ouzo and Belgian beer end in favour of Austrians and French respectively!"


 


Anonymous press: "Italian fleet chugs eastward enticed by Turkish belly dancers. Hopefully no bearded ladies under the veil."


 


 


Now then everybody,


 


Please find the list of moves and required adjustments below.


 


No retreats are necessary, so we head on into the Winter 01 builds as detailed at the bottom of the move list. Please submit your build orders to me by 2000GMT Monday 2 May.


 


Just to remind you all, we have a short deadline for the Spring 02 moves - Friday 6 May 2000GMT, with any retreats for Summer 02 being due for Saturday 7 May 2000GMT, so that we can get the move in before my absence for holidays. The Autumn 02 moves deadline will be Sunday 22 May 2000GMT, and we settle into the every Sunday moves deadline pattern from then on in. Thanks for your continued patience with my diary, I'm hoping the short deadline shouldn't cause too many problems given how early in the game we are.


 


In the meantime, don't have nightmares,


 


Jerome
