"English army enters Crimea claiming intention to carry out archaelogical dig looking for remains of Light Brigate - locals not convinced by story!"

 

"Ghostly apparition of Prussian army appears in Bohemia - German generals get excited and try to give them orders - Prussian ghosts refuse to follow commands issued by 'these young Bavarian-Bismarckian upstarts!'"

 

"Russian army refuses to pay Oktoberfest bill, kicked out of Munich by disgruntled beerkeller owners!"

 

"GM needs to make small adjustment to regular adjudication time following onset of British

Hi gang,

Austria:
A Bohemia - Vienna
F Naples Supports F Western Mediterranean - Tyrrhenian Sea (*Cut*)
F Western Mediterranean - Tyrrhenian Sea

 

England:
F Liverpool - Wales

A Ukraine - Rumania

 

Russia:
A Munich Hold (*Dislodged*)
F Norway - St Petersburg(nc)
A Prussia - Warsaw

 

Turkey:
F Kiel - Holland
A Trieste - Budapest
A Venice - Rome


OK so one retreat is needed, namely the Russian army currently sitting in Munich. Dan, you can retreat to Ber, Boh, Kie, Ruh, or off-the-board. Please let me have your retreat asap, I'll publish it as soon as I receive it, and by 2100GMT tomorrow evening.

 

The clocks went back in the UK this weekend (i.e. end of British summer time), so therefore I'll be changing our regular deadline to
2100GMT from 2000GMT for the rest of the game (or till March when they go forwards again!). This allows me to put baby to bed, eat my tea etc. before needing to run the adjudication. I'm guessing most of you guys will have a similar clock-changing moment soon, so it probably won't cause you too much difficulty.

 

So, retreat deadline is 2100GMT Tuesday 1 November, and the deadline for the Autumn 1904 moves will be 2100GMT Monday 7 November.

 

Stay lucky everyone, and don't forget the firework code for Saturday night...!
