"New Russian and Turkish generals take the field!"
"Concern deepens for lost cat hiding out in Rumania - Russian navy's polite offer to 'join in the search' declined by Italians - possible escape route via Bulgaria closed off!"
"Massive naval engagement observed in Thames estuary - all sides agree to call it a draw!"
"Archduke fancies vacationing on a Mediterranean island next summer - sends navy to check out beaches in Cyprus!"
G'day cobbas!
An interesting turn this one, as our two new generals take the field for the first time. Thanks everybody for getting your moves in to me in good time.
Retreats are due from England and Russia by 2000GMT tomorrow (Monday 13 June), though if you can get them to me quicker than this, and confirm them as final, then I'll adjudicate early to give you a little more negotiating time before the builds and disbands, which are due 2000GMT Tuesday 14 June.
