The merciless (plague-ridden?) RAT continues its sweep across Europe.  The story in the Fall is much the same as the story in the Spring -- Russian success in northern waters (Norwegian Sea) teamed with Turkish advances in the Mediterranean (Gulf of Lyon) and stubborn opposition up the middle (no change).  English and French resources are being stretched perhaps to breaking -- is 1905 the year we see Italians in the Atlantic?  England's and France's only hope lies in a timely RAT schism -- a power grab or realignment that could have consequences even unto the Winter Blitz title.

Let us momentarily pause to honor our fallen German brother.  Rene, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, "I'm sorry your opponents were a bunch of short-sighted self-serving morons. 
Hopefully, this does not happen to you again in your next game."

And with that... let us progress to Fall retreats:The English fleet in Norwegian Sea may retreat to Clyde, North Atlantic Ocean, or OTB.
Winter adjustments are few -- just the Russian build and the German disband (which is automatic)... and an English rebuild if he retreats OTB:Austria:   Supp  7 Unit  7 Build  0
England:   Supp  5 Unit  5 Build  0
France:    Supp  6 Unit  6 Build  0
Germany:   Supp  0 Unit  1 Remove  1
Italy:     Supp  1 Unit  1 Build  0
Russia:    Supp  7 Unit  6 Build  1
Turkey:    Supp  8 Unit  8 Build  0

See y'all again tomorrow.
