Greetings, Players.
Our top headline:  Italy and Turkey Perform Mutual Backstab!  ... Or Do They?
Certainly looks at first glance like the long IT friendship has hit a rough patch, what with Turkey convoying into Venice and the Italians destroying the Turkish army in Marseilles.  Yet, two acts that appear extremely hostile when taken separately are nothing more than a simple dot-swap when considered as a whole.  What do you believe?
In other news, the rest of the continent continues to feint, thrust and bounce.
England sails for home, finds his way blocked.Austria cedes Munich back to Germany (Did he have a choice?) and takes up a high-leverage position in Tyrolia.Italy cedes Spain back to France (I think he
did have a choice) and takes up residence in Marseilles.Russia and Germany joust in Livonia.And F Rumania goes nowhere for (a record?) eleventh turn in a row.

RETREATS NEEDED:
Italian A Venice can retreat to Tuscany or Rome or Apulia or OTB.

NEXT DEADLINES:
Italian retreat is due tomorrow, May 22, by 18:00 Eastern time.Fall 1907 orders are due Thursday, May 24, by 18:00 Eastern time.

Cheers,Chris
