1909 opens with quite a few cautious moves as leaders of Europe try to figure out the new Tsar.  The German occupation of Belgium is maintained as French and Russian generals can't figure out what to do, while England's fate may lie solely with either French mercy or misorder.  We shall see soon enough if France is a de Gaulle or a Clouseau.  

The Turkish F Aegean Sea is dislodged; the Summer 1909 retreat is due 9:00pm CDT on 29 Sep, or 03:00 BST on 30 Sep.  As usual, adjudication will take place immediately unless the retreat is designated as provisional.
