Now then everyone,


 




Thanks again for your patience with my absence from the game, and the long wait since the last turn. Following this move, we now settle into a nice, regular pattern of timings. The deadline for major seasons is 2000hrs GMT (i.e. 8pm GMT, 4pm DST, 1pm PDT) Sunday. The retreats deadline following each major season will be 2000hrs GMT Monday, and the winter deadline for builds and disbands will be 2000hrs GMT Tuesday following Autumn moves.


 


Therefore, the deadline for retreats for Winter 02 will be 2000hrs GMT Monday 23 May. If you do not submit retreats by then, the auto-retreats given below will stand. The deadline for builds and disbands for Winter 02 will be 2000hrs GMT Tuesday 24 May, and then deadline for Spring 03 moves will be 2000hrs GMT Sunday 29 May.


 



An interesting turn, with plenty of movement on the board. Please find your adjudication and retreats below.
