It's Memorial Day here in the States, but war doesn't pause for national holidays (even if GMs pause for a few hours). Indeed, isn't that sort of what this holiday is about -- men and women who forfeited such niceties as national holidays so that they could go out to kill and be killed in the name of god and country? [Just for the record... that comment was meant to entail ambivalence -- neither judgment for nor against].
I always like to pause today and remember that my grandfather was in the South Pacific in 1942-45, constructing an airstrip on some unnamed island... a pleasant break from his regular duties as a machinist tending submarines while on ship (yeah, they had a crane on their ship that could lift the submarine clear out of the water).
France once
again leaves his post unattended, and all E/F units are forced to retreat. However, just to make things tidy, all units preserve only one route of retreat, so I'll adjudicate summer, too.

Meanwhile, the complete and total subjection of the map to ART domination continues. [I must say, I'm impressed by the ART... it's not a very probable alliance, dontcha know].
