Good Evening, Gentlemen.
Nice turn.  Some fighting where I didn't expect it, and a bit of unexpected passivity, too.The Kaiser flips, and chooses to help the Tsar back into Norway at the expense of his erstwhile English friend.
However, it seems the King was expecting something of this nature.  His move to The Skaggerak sets up a nice guessing game around Norway and Denmark for the Fall.France, meanwhile, helps Germany into Holland.  Does he regret that move now that the Kaiser has also moved into the Ruhr, or was that simply insurance against English interference?French and Italian units in the Med area bounce heads, but remain still at arms length.Turkey takes advantage of Italy's distraction in Trieste, but doesn't press a similar advantage
in Ionian.  Perhaps those four fleets are still working out their semaphore signals?

PRESS:  Will Germany survive to fight another year!
This sounds a lot like last season's press.  Should we debate the significance of the exclamation point where a question mark out to be?

RETREATS:
It is my policy to only auto-retreat units if ALL retreating units have only one possible retreat.  Since that is not the case, we need England and Germany to submit retreat orders.

English F Norway can retreat to Norwegian Sea or Barents Sea or OTB.Italian A Trieste can retreat to Venice or OTB.

NEXT DEADLINE:  Retreat orders are due
tomorrow, April 24, by 18:00 Eastern time.

Cheers,Chris
