It barely seems a moment since we began and *BAM* 1902 is drawing to an end. They grow up so fast. Soon, you'll be executing vicious stabs and eliminating opponents. I'm so proud.
This Winter, England and Russia will claim their delinquent builds. Even so, I fear the English feel no joy in life... or, perhaps I should say no joie de vivre. After all, one-third of England is busily straining to learn French. That convoy to Yorkshire is a killer.
In the South, Italy sides with Turkey against Austria-Russia... but it's only Russia who gets any builds. Still, Austria cannot like the looks of that Italian fleet in the Adriatic.
Retreats:
The Austrian fleet in Greece auto-retreats to Albania (if you wish to disband, please submit a disband order and a build order by tomorrow's deadline).
The Russian fleet in Sweden may retreat to Finland, Gulf of Bothnia, Skagerrak, or off the board.
Adjustments:
Austria: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
England: Supp 3 Unit 2 Build 1
France: Supp 7 Unit 6 Build 1
Germany: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 1
Italy: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
Russia: Supp 6 Unit 4 Build 2
Turkey: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
(This assumes that neither Austria nor Russia chooses to retreat off the board. If either does choose to retreat off the board, please submit an extra build).
The Winter 1902 adjustments are due *simultaneously* with the Fall 1902 retreats. I will adjudicate *both* tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. CST. [Note the change of time... as we have an Alaskan, I thought it wise to adjust the time for the future]. If you choose, you may make your Winter orders conditional... e.g. "If Russian F Sweden retreats to Ska, then build xxx; if Russian F Sweden retreats to GoB, then build yyy; if Russian F Sweden retreats off the board, then waive build".
