Good Luck to the rest of you. My demise is purely of my own doing. The first time I have an early exit and absolutely no hard feelings towards anyone! 
See you in Round 2!
Cory, please keep me on the email list -- I'd love to watch this game play out.

Thanks,
Mike

We bid farewell to Archduke Mike, as both of Austria's attempts to regain a center are parried.  Thanks for playing, Mike, and better luck in round 2!
 Germany's fleet pushes into St. Petersburg with assistance from England, while Russia sails into an undefended Berlin.  Turkey takes control of Tunis.  Germany and Turkey hang on to Warsaw and Trieste, respectively, which they had occupied in the spring.
 Two autumn retreats are due, one each for Italy and Russia. But since each has only one valid on-board retreat and each power will have to remove a unit in the winter anyway, I'll go ahead and order the retreats as noted at the end of this message.
 Winter 1905 adjustments will be as
follows:  Austria:  remove 2 (eliminated)  England:  build 1  Germany:  build 1  Italy:  remove 1  Russia:  remove 1  Turkey:  build 2
