I must say, with no sense of irony: Well played.

Unfortunately, I could not locate orders for either France or Russia... though for France, it would not have mattered anyway.
England convoys to Holland, overrunning the last remaining French unit. Thanks for playing, Andrew, and good luck in round 2! Elsewhere, Turkey picks off both Rome and Venice, and also establishes control of Rumania. Germany regains
control of Kiel. Italy, with an assist from Turkey, successfully defends Brest against an English counter-attack, and takes over Portugal. The only unit dislodged is the French fleet in Holland, but it can't survive the winter anyway, so I have ordered it to be scuttled in the autumn phase.
Winter 1907 adjustments will be as follows: Italy: remove 1 Russia: remove 1 Turkey: build 3 The winter 1907 adjustments are due tomorrow, Friday 3/9 at 3pm Central (US) / 21:00 GMT. Thanks!

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."
