Hey, guys.  Sorry this is a bit late.  We had some technical issues and were down to just one computer.  My daughter's homework had to come first.  But here we are now so, without further ado, it's time for...


Episode 5 - Brunch Menu

French Toast, or The Great Ex-Crepe

It's a terrible, twisted tricolour flying over the French nation this morning.  Instead of blue, white and red, we have navy, black and green.

Brest is British.  Paris is
German.  Marseilles is Italian.  Astonishing!  You have to travel south to Iberia to find French colors.  It has been a crazy bad couple of years for our Gallic friends, and it's hard to see how they might get better in 1903.

Blini on the Baltic, or The Sweetish Crepe

Take 3 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 EG.  Mix in large bowl and shove down the throat of any nearby Russians.

Well, what do want from an alliance?  To Tom and Jerry, good beatings = good eating.

Austrian Omelet, or What the Hell is that Crepe?

The Turks set the table, but the Russians went to the wrong restaurant.  The lovely Hungarian capital was there for the taking, but somehow the Russian army got lost on the way.

As a result, the ArchDuke gets to rebuild his third unit, the Tsar must downsize the white army.  Meanwhile,
the Sultan takes two and is now tops in the East with a solid half-dozen.


RETREATS:French F Brest can retreat to Picardy or OTB.  (Note - I will auto-retreat a unit only if ALL retreating units have only one choice.)
Russian F Sweden can retreat to Finland or Gulf of Bothnia or Baltic Sea or Skagerrak or OTB.

ADJUSTMENTS:Retreats will not affect adjustments this time.  Everybody owes me something.
