I have no expectations of this passing, but I'll vote yes, of course.
I've never got a solo on the DC site, so if it's the will of the people, I won't stand in their way.

It may be enough points to put him over the top in the overall standings even. And I'll propse that we accellerate this process and put that to a vote - for a Turkish solo. The rest of us get survivial points. That is the expected result for R and A. Probably for E as well. Maybe me, and above expectationsf for I and G. Joe

Real men don't retreat. Rene's army in Munich disbands! Stuart's fleet in Rumania disbands! Joe's fleet in Western Med... scurries back to Spain. Ah, Joe, what're we gonna do with you?
In the Winter:
Austria builds A Vienna
England sips tea
France builds F Brest
Germany trinkt Bier
Italy disbands A North Africa
Russia builds F St. Petersburg (north coast)
Turkey builds F Constantinople, F Smyrna
Spring 1904 is due on Monday.

"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."
