F Black Sea Supports A Armenia - Sevastopol
A Constantinople Supports F Aegean Sea - Bulgaria(sc) (*Void*) One retreat is necessary. Rick, your fleet North Sea retreats to either Edinburgh, Yorkshire, London, English Channel, or OTB. The following adjustments need to be made: Austria: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 1
England: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
France: Supp 6 Unit 4 Build 2
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
Italy: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
Russia: Supp 7 Unit 6 Build 1
Turkey: Supp 2
Unit 4 Remove 2
(This assumes that England does not choose to retreat off the board. Rick, if you do choose to retreat off the board, please submit a build if you wish).
The Winter 1902 adjustments are due *simultaneously* with the Autumn 1902 retreats. I will adjudicate *both* tomorrow at 2100GMT. If you choose, you may make your Winter orders conditional... e.g. "If Russian F MAO retreats to Tun, then build xxx; if Russian F MAO retreats to Syr, then build yyy; if Russian F Sweden retreats off the board, then waive build".
Keep it chilled*, Jerome *not hard in Europe at the moment, temperatures plunging alarmingly as we speak... sigh!
