*FET Alliance Gains Big*
*Offered Supports Rejected*
*Russia Keeps Germans in Warsaw*

Hey all,

     First off, thanks for the well wishes I've received from many of you regarding the passing of my grandmother. It is appreciated. Memorial services are tomorrow. I think I'm going to ask the Moderators to cover the turn, so make sure you cc the orders box. 
     This year seems to be the final tipping point for the RAGged band of non-FET players. Russia's down a center. Germany has a net loss of 2, but only loses one unit this winter. Austria, likewise, loses 2 centers, but also has 2 units disbanded. Meanwhile, the three-headed Blue and Yellow monster swells a total of 5 centers this year. Will the alliance last? Or will treachery strike? Only time will tell.
     There was one retreat. Russian F Sev can only retreat to Rumania. Seeing as how a retreat off the board would eliminate Russia, I'm assuming Sev-Rum is a safe bet, and in lieu of contradiction from him, that'll be the official retreat. However, should the Russian instead choose to fall on his sword, Turkey will gain 2 centers instead of 1. So conditional builds/disbands are of course allowed, and in the case of turkey, strongly encouraged.

Builds/Disbands:
Austria: Even (-Tri, -Ser, +2 disbanded units in fall)
England: +2 (+ Hol, +Mos)
France: +2 (+Mun, +Tri)
Germany: -1 (-Hol, -Mun, -Mos, +War, +disbanded A Hol in spring)
Italy: eliminated
Russia: -1 (-sev, -War, +Rum) (if rum retreats OTB, then eliminated)
Turkey: +1 (+ser, +sev, -Rum) (If rum retreats OTB, then +2)
