No, a canal option was not specified. Thus my revision. Tho I wanted to be clear that joining Nap to Tun was still a valid canal creation, cuz when you pinch off two water spaces a canal is left by default. In this case, we connected continental land to water on both sides, so a canal would not naturally exist like that unless ordered.
My interpretation, is yes, you can order simply the removal of a canal. e.g. remove canal Con. Or, he even goes to the extent of saying you can change an endpoint of a canal if a space would otherwise have 3 or more coasts. (it can happen).
This is the first time I've tried AceRunner's ruleset. They're more thorough and allow for more options, but are also harder to grasp, and I think, need a little bit of editing to make them exhaustive of the possible scenarios.
New map attached! All that's changed are the coasts in Venice.

Hi Mike. I had assumed that the ‘canal’ included in the report was ordered by the player (in this case Austria; is that not the case?
Also, AceRunner’s modifications of the rules include the phrase “A Seismic order can cause a coastal province to be divided into two or more coasts by ... the deletion of a canal or strait.” As you understand it, does that refer obscurely to the effect of a normal Connect and Separate order, or does it permit a different sort of order (eg “Remove the waterway through Constantinople”?)
Thanks, Pete

Venice should have EC / WC, not a canal. When joining a land province to a water on the opposite side, it becomes coasts. When joining two lands pinching off two waters, it becomes a strait by default. I’ll fix it on the map tomorrow.

Turk Army Serbia is disbanded, having nowhere to retreat! This means there's no summer, and we move right along to fall. Due next Wed 12/21, 3pm Central!
Note, I have had a hard time reaching Daniel at his home email address. If I don't have confirmation from him that he's got this, I'll put off the turn till I do.
