First on the agenda, a small change of designation.  For various reasons, our game is not DC462, but 464.  Please keep this in mind; your orders submitted should reflect the proper number but in practice I'm not so picky.  


Second, those pesky orders.  I do not want to spend this game chasing down players for their orders.  I implore you to submit preliminary orders immediately!  You can change your orders as many times as you like, so don't be shy!  

So, on to our game!  There are some intriguing headlines for you to discover as you peruse the orders below, and some public press to decypher.  The press I put under the same Swiss heading all the time, and the origin is left unknown.  (Indeed, I don't remember who sent it!)  By my own observations, I am most intrigued by what the Russian army in Rumania might do, and to where England might expand.  

Fall 1901 orders are due 9 September at 08:00 GMT.  Don't be late!


Zürcher Zeitung
The Austrian Empire seems unable to renew itself, hence the Russian, Turkish and Italian governments have decided that they are to be removed from the map so progress can be made.



Also in the news, France and Germany have made a secret pact to take on the might of the English lion.
