*Germans Reach Caspian Sea!*
*Stabs in the East and West?*
*Six Centers Have a New Owner!*

Hey all,

     What a turn, ladies and gentlemen! Russia takes a hit in the north and in the south, while France fends off an attack on Belgium. With all the excitement, though, only Russia has a net loss of centers. Russia also has two retreats. F swe can only retreat to bot, and F sev can only retreat to arm. Of course, either or both could instead retreat off the board. While both the retreats and the builds/disbands are both due tomorrow at 8:00 AM CST, technically the retreats happen first. This means you can submit conditional builds based n the retreats (for example, "If Russia retreats swe-bot, build A smy; if Russia retreats Swe OTB, then build F Con". Note though that Russia could also retreat Swe-bot and then choose to disband bot in winter.

Builds:
Austria even
England +1
France even
Germany +1
Italy even
Russia -3 (or -2 or -1 if one or both fleets retreat otb)
Turkey +2

     My grandmother went into the hospital this week, and I may be away from internet tomorrow, so please make absolutely sure you cc the orders box, as I might have a Blitz moderator run winter for me tomorrow.
