Hi Players,
Well, as it turned out I'm neither earlier nor later than usual. What I am going to be is briefer.  I have to take the kids shopping for last-minute birthday presents for my wife, and the stores won't be open that much longer.
PRESS:
Germany Proposes concession to Turkey!
Congratulations Eric, a very well played Turkish position!
And no, it's not a bluff, as we have our first official...
END-GAME PROPOSAL:
Turkish solo victory

As always, all players must vote in favor of the proposal in order for
it to pass.  A single NO vote and the proposal fails.  In addition, failure to vote counts as a NO.  Votes are submitted with your upcoming FALL orders.  Vote tallies are NOT reported.  Only the success or failure of the vote.

SPRING SUMMARY:

London falls to FranceNorway falls to RussiaMarseilles falls to Turkey... Yes, Turkey!  I love big convoys!

RETREATS:
French A Marseilles can retreat to Gascony or OTB.
English F Norway can retreat to Skagerrak or Norwegian Sea or Barents Sea or Sweden or OTB.

NEXT DEADLINE: 

Summer retreats are due tomorrow, May 15, by 18:00 Eastern time.  Not sure when the adjudication will be, since, as I said, it's my wife's birthday.  If I should happen to have the retreats in hand early, and they are marked as final, I will publish
early.


Cheers,Chris
