It occurs to me that I sent the adjudication without the 'flags': *Cut*, *Fails*, *Dislodged*, etc... If I had remembered to do so, I surely would've commented on the profusion of *Fails* in the Austrian adjudication. Truly, eight units -- six *Fails* and a *Dislodged*. That is a prodigious accomplishment in frustrated ambition. Conversely, England ordered seven units without a hitch.
The deadline is still next Monday.

The vote on the French solo is resounding. There will be more blood. And what exquisite blood! So, let???s break this down???
The English and Germans participate in a long chain of orders: Lon-Nth-Nwg-Bar-StP-Lvn-Pru. The net effect is as though to pluck the English army from London and drop it into Prussia.
The French army in Belgium relocates to German-owned Holland.
The Italian fleet in Rome needs a map. (You will find one attached).
Austria seems ready to betray Italy, but it???s hard to convoy to Apulia when there is no fleet with which to convoy. The French pierce into the Ionian Sea.
This leads to the season???s one retreat order:
The Austrian fleet in Ionian Sea can retreat to Adriatic Sea, Albania, Apulia, Eastern Mediterranean, or OTB
This is due tomorrow by 10:00 a.m. CST, Jack.
Fall 1907 will be due next Monday, June 27th.
Lastly, my House Rules explicitly state that I will not publish press submitted to me by players. In the years since I first wrote those Rules, I have changed my mind on this topic. Beginning in the Fall, I will forward press. Please declare whether the press is anonymous or not.
