I have had a player inquire about accelerating the current turn, so that we don't have to wait over a week to resolve the fall 1903 season. I set the deadline that late because I'm not sure who has e-mail access on weekends -- normally, I don't myself, but I'll be working weekends through mid-February. I don't want to advance an already announced deadline, but I do have a way to speed up this turn if all players choose to do so:

If everyone submits moves to me that are listed as "final", once I receive a set of final orders from all players, I will run the turn, regardless of what day that might be. For instance, if all players send me final orders by Friday 2/8, I'll send the adjudication that day and I can then set the fall 1903 retreat (if necessary) and winter 1903 adjustment deadline for Tuesday 2/12, and we will have saved at least 2 days.

For those interested in a faster-paced turn, and without springing a nasty surprise on any player who might need extra time, I hope you find this to be a reasonable strategy.
