"If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it."
- Julius Caesar

"Et tu, Brute!"
- The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare

English units figuratively cross the Rubicon... and literally cross the Guadalquivir and the Vilaine and the Elbe and the Stora and the Vistula and the Prut. It is a jolly good show. Quite, quite. Six units claim supply centers; the other two offer support. A Triumph is scheduled in Trafalgar Square for this Saturday, where a column with a statue of Lord Dirk will be erected in celebration.

Eastern Europe (Austria, Italy, and Russia) languidly emits a yawn. The units of all three nations hold.

Meanwhile, France and Germany continue to busy themselves with marching their units away from England. With his gains in Naples and Venice, France will not need to disband this winter.

Oh, by the way, the draw proposal fails. But a new end-game proposal emerges:

"Ye gods, it doth amaze me,
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world,
And bear the palm alone."

There is a proposal for an English solo. All votes will be due with the Spring orders next week.

Meanwhile, there are retreats. Lots of ???em.
Austrian Army Galicia may retreat to Budapest, Ukraine, or OTB
Austrian Army Rumania may retreat to Budapest, Bulgaria, Serbia, or OTB
Austrian Army Venice may retreat to Apulia or OTB
German Army Warsaw may retreat to Livonia, Silesia, Ukraine, or OTB
Italian Fleet Naples may retreat to Apulia or OTB

[Note that I am *not* auto-retreating Venice or Naples, as the only retreat available to both of them is Apulia... you might want to negotiate that].

Retreats are due tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. CST.

Then, there will be adjustments, which (before OTB retreats) stand as:

Austria: Supp 6 Unit 7 Remove 1
England: Supp 14 Unit 8 Build 3
France: Supp 7 Unit 7 Build 0
Germany: Supp 3 Unit 5 Remove 2
Italy: Supp 1 Unit 2 Remove 1
Russia: Supp 3 Unit 2 Build 0

So, as you can see, there???s lots to do for everybody except France and Russia.
