Nemo was spotted... (I mean, striped)
I found a moment to do the adjudication... Also, someone asked that I send along a copy of the DPY file, so I will try to remember to include it from now on.
Once again Turkey and Russia butt heads without making any advances. Italy and Germany were both dislodged and will need to retreat. Germany will move to Denmark, but Italy needs to choose between retreating to Apulia, Piedmont, Rome or Tuscany. Don't forget to send press along with your orders.
Summer 03 retreats will be due Wednesday night, October 17 at 8:30 pm MDT (02:30 18-10-12 GMT)
Fall 03 orders will be due Thursday night, October 18 at 8:30 pm MDT (02:30 19-10-12 GMT)

For Immediate Release....--------------------------------------Germany to the silver tongue. Well this part is true anyway: ??"no doubt laced with no small degree of self-interest and a slightly anarchic and mischievous desire to stir up a hornet???s nest."
Germany to England and France. ??A western triple it has been called, which sits well with me. It has emerged out of the need to counter the Austrian nmrs, and Italian aggression against France, but I say let's go with what we have been given.??The map we are looking at now may tell a different story, but I am hoping you have seen fit to give this a try. The "bear" that I referred to will emerge very quickly if I am forced to turn around, and the Italian fleets will not give up their advantage in the west. To refer to me as the board leader is laughable. ??I know that Italy is not so blind as to miss the clear advantage that the Austrian nmrs have given both he and Russia, although he will certainly try to convince you otherwise.
--------------------------------------
France - England: Either we will have bounced in NAO, or I will have occupied it. I'm getting a bit nervous about the presence of your fleet in ENG, it's causing me to worry that you've a lightening attack on MAO planned for this year, hence the bounce that I'm half-expecting (or rather, fearing the consequences of not making). Let me know your thoughts - assuming I've taken NAO, I'm happy to move my fleet from there.
France - Germany: Thanks for your understanding regarding Bur. I'm manoevring for defence this year, seeing whether Italy is serious or whether he's lying in his public statements, and trying to cover my back door from the north. Let's talk more before the autumn moves.
