damn,

and i thought it was the stunning a warsaw-silesia that tipped germany out from 1901 (plus armies in Tyrol, Boh, and Bur if I remember right) I've never seen germany surrounded and wiped out so soon. Any replacement would have had to have been a genius to do much with it.

But whatever, we play it out - looks to me that we all mean to do so, and if nmrs happen, so be it.

Look, this game was screwed up from the get-go because Germany only
submitted moves once; every other mistake / NMR / confusion after that
was tiny in comparative effect on the game. In any other game we would
have found a replacement, but the tournament rules prevented that. This
is DipCorp's first tournament, so its not surprising there's a few
bugs. But ever since that Germany debacle I have not put much stock in
this game (not to say I have not tried or cared, but I just have not let
successes or failures get to me). So let's just play it out for the
tournament's sake; if you were lucky and smart enough to take advantage
of a skewed game, great for you. If you were screwed or made a mistake,
don't think twice. That's all the advice that I can give, but please
let's stop flooding my inbox a pointless argument.

annoying, sure, but those who can take advantage of
them do and those of us who can't keep soldiering on.

I would like to suggest splitting the Autumn and
Winter order phases in the future as well... missed
one build myself... but those are the rules as stated
and it's completely my fault that I missed that one.

As for life getting in the way... I'm sending in
prelim orders for Monday right now... it prevents NMRs
quite well.
