Really, I have done my best to help you guys avoid this predicament... yet, all the same, here is where we find ourselves: armed to the teeth at the stalemate line. In a regular game, I'd say to myself, "Oh well. You try something, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. I guess I'll settle for a five-way draw." But this? *This* is the Winter Blitz. Two rounds to stamp your mark on the world. Even a solo + five-way draw is probably not enough to get you into the prize circle. In short, this is not the time to complacently settle into the defensive trenches. This is the time to crack skulls and betray your best friend for a piece of ground too small to park a Mini in.
The proposed FGT fails.
There are two dislodged units, but courteous as you gents are, you dare not trouble me with retreats... so both dislodged units must disband. Between the disbands and the final dissolution of England, there are three builds due (there would be more, but Germany has units parked in his home centers):
Austria: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
France: Supp 9 Unit 8 Build 1
Germany: Supp 9 Unit 6 Build 1
Italy: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
Russia: Supp 1 Unit 1 Build 0
Turkey: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 1
Submit orders by the usual time tomorrow.
