Quoth Julius Caesar (from Plutarch???s Lives):

"Do you not think," said he, "it is matter for sorrow that while Alexander, at my age, was already king of so many peoples, I have as yet achieved no brilliant success?"

The game enters a sixth year, and still the contest proceeds slowly. By now, Alexander would be at 29 SCs. Caesar himself would own all of Gaul, Germany, and Spain (but no brilliant success). Meanwhile, the best of you is idling along at eight measly centers. Once again, the center is all locked up while interesting advances are made on the flanks. Here???s the abbreviated adjudication (i.e. all the units that move) ???

Austria: F Tri-Adr
England: A Den-Swe
England: F Fin-Bot
England: F Hel-Den
England: F Nth-Ska
France: F NAf-Tun
France: A Tun-Spa
Russia: F Sev-Bla

Lots of English units moving, but access to Livonia is denied. Germany and Italy hold still. Austria *Fails*. France nicely rotates a fleet into Tunis. The only dislodged unit ??? Russia???s F Bot ??? has no retreat and thus disbands. So, once again, there are no retreats (I cannot recollect such a retreatless game).

Fall 1906 is due next Thursday, June 9, at the inconspicuous hour of 10:00 a.m. CST.
