Hi Players,

My, my, my.  It seems that some little boys still like to play with matches, and the result is a Summer brush fire in the previously safe white North. 

EGP:  The DIAS proposal fails.

Highlights:


Turkey occupies Sweden!  If it can hold on one more season, this game could be over!  It's not a sure thing, by any means, but it looks like ejecting him could take the combined might of three countries -- and you never know when a simple error in logistics can lead to disaster.  For want of a nail....

Italy destroys the Turkish army in Tuscany.  Rome and Naples are feeling a bit more secure... but that's what I would have said about Sweden, too, so what do I know?

And then there's Tunis.  Who's going
to cover there?


And Marseilles.  Will the French repatriate their Southern jewel?


Why do I get the sense that even as the West works together to stop the Turk, there are still some unresolved internecine rivalries in play?

RETREATS:    None

New END-GAME Proposals:    None

NEXT DEADLINE:  Fall 1917 orders are due Thursday, July 21, by 18:00 EDT.

Cheers,
Chris
