A Liverpool Supports F Edinburgh
F North Atlantic Ocean - Irish Sea
F Norway Supports F Denmark - North Sea
F Norwegian Sea - North Atlantic Ocean
F Smyrna - Eastern Mediterranean
A Syria Supports A Constantinople - Smyrna
A Warsaw - Livonia
The following retreats are needed:
England's Fleet Holland moves to Helgoland Bight, or OTB
France's Fleet North Sea moves to Norwegian Sea, Skaggerak, Helgoland Bight, English Channel, London, or OTB.
Should both units attempt to retreat to Helgoland Bight, both units will be forced OTB.
The following builds and disbands need to be submitted with your retreats:
Austria: Supp 7 Unit 7 Build 0
England: Supp 1 Unit 2 Remove 1
France: Supp 6 Unit 5 Build 1
Germany: Supp 5 Unit 5 Build 0
Italy: Supp 3 Unit 3 Build 0
Russia: Supp 12 Unit 10 Build 2
Turkey: Supp 0 Unit 0 Build 0
These builds and disbands assume that England and France do not retreat OTB, and that Poul does not retreat to London. Rick, if you decide to retreat OTB, you do not need to disband your Yorkshire fleet unless Poul retreats to London (and in which case you would be out of the game). Poul, if you choose to disband, or retreat to London, take an extra build.
The Winter
1905 adjustments are due *simultaneously* with the Autumn 1905 retreats. I will adjudicate *both* tomorrow at 2100GMT (Friday 24 February). If you choose, you may make your Winter orders conditional on Rick and Poul's decisions...
I'm not around for the next two weeks, so Garry Bledsoe will be taking over the GMing of your game for the 1906 and 1907 game turns. Garry is another of the dc site mods, and one of the tournament directors of the Blitz, so you're in good hands. Please email your moves to Garry at:
kielmarsh(at)hotmail.com
...as well as to the orders inbox for the next two weeks. I'll be back in the chair for the Spring 1908 moves, Monday 12 March.
