Alright, next year the Winter season will be shorter.  I'm no longer going to track down people who haven't given me orders; get them in or NMR.  Italy failed to submit his build, but the game continues.



The embers of the Crimean War are rekindled as the Ottoman Sultan publicly states his declaration of war on the Tsar (given below) and England ensures no Bonapartist will cast his evil eye over the English Channel!  The Spring 1902 orders are due Monday, 11th June at 9:00pm US Central Time (Tuesday, 12th June at 02:00 GMT). 









To my friends, allies, future friends and future allies.  It is with great regret that I, as Sultan, must declare war on the Russian Dog.  From the moment he took control of his formally great country, he has shown himself to be nothing more than a bully!  He feels he has the right to tell ME what to do with my people.  I am the Sultan! I will make my own decisions!





If this puts me at odds with any of my neighbors I regretfully accept that consequence.  I only offer to those this warning.  The Tsar cannot be trusted.  He as requested that I "listen" to him and build a fleet in Smyrna, I ask my Italian and Austrian friend, where would he next order me to send that fleet?





I wish you all well in your endeavors!
The Sultan has spoken
