Greetings, Players!

I'm back, and just in time to preside over the long-awaited Turkish Push!  Looks like the Sultan has finally decided to make a play for 18.  Berlin, Munich and Trieste join the Sultanate this year, while Russian A Norway holds fast thanks to the help of his English friends in Sweden.

So, what will we see in 1916?  Will the warring factions of western Europe be able to put aside their historic arguments and work together against the Eastern potentate?  Even if they do, can they redeploy and coordinate their forces quickly enough to keep the yellow forces from claiming two more SC?

I think we'll know the answers soon.  Play on!

RETREATS NEEDED:
English F Brest can retreat to Picardy or OTB.
Italian F Ionian Sea
can retreat to Tunis or Tyrrhenian Sea or Naples or Apulia or Adriatic Sea or Albania or OTB.

ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED:
Turkey is +3 SC, and +4 overall, but of course can only build 3.
France is even on SC but can build 1 due to the army destroyed in Berlin.
Russia is +1 SC but cannot build because no home SC are open.
Germany is even.
England is -2 SC and must remove 2.
Italy is -2 SC but removes only 1 due to the army destroyed in Kiel.

END-GAME PROPOSALS:
None voted on in the Fall.
None proposed, as yet, for the Spring.

NEXT DEADLINE:  Retreats and Adjustments are due Friday, July 8, at 18:00 EDT.

Cheers,
Chris
