Hi everyone,

It looks as though I owe you all an apology. One of our good players has pointed out that I was possibly not adjudicating according to the Blitz rules. Specifically the Abbreviations section, which reads:

-----------------------------
Abbreviations
Ambiguous abbreviations will result in a misorder (the unit Holds). An order that could have multiple interpretations will fail. For example F NTH-NOR would fail, because this could mean F NTH-Norway or F NTH-Norwegian Sea. F StP-Nor would be valid since StP can only go to Norway, not Norwegian. "Nor" and "Liv" should be avoided as they can be problematic, although if only one possible order can be made, it will be allowed.
GMs and TDs will not check moves or abbreviations prior to the deadline. Moves will be adjudicated at the deadline and no leniency period to clarify orders will be granted.-------------------------------


The key part of the above passage is "if only one possible order can be made, it will be allowed." England used the 'NOR' abbreviation in the Spring, which would have been ambiguous except that he ordered it to support ENG. As North Sea is the only space beginning with 'NOR' that borders the English Channel, then I ruled that the order had only on possible interpretation.

Hope everyone is all good with this ruling. Please just let me know if you aren't and I will try to explain further...

Cheers,

Trout
