It's mildly amusing to wake up and find almost all the orders waiting for me. The end of our ninth year puts the writing clearly on the wall, as Spain breaks through the Mediterranean and Poland lands an army in Anatolia! Israelite leadership is paralyzed, but there is not much, it seems, which could have been done to hold off the relentless advance of the red and orange. Events are unfolding rapidly as the yellow and blue alliance collapses, following the triumphant landing of Polish forces in Byzantine lands, and the unchallenged march into Libya of Spanish infantry following a death march through the Sahara. There seems to be a real possibility of a distant solo, but any chance of Sicily or Israel participating in a draw seem just as distant, although in the opposite direction.
One unit needs a retreat (the faster the better), and I can take your adjustments at the same time. I may not be able to get online until Sunday, just so you all know.
Autumn 1909 retreat due 29 September, 08:00 GMT.
Winter 1909 adjustments due 1 October, 08:00 GMT.
