I must have read the email from France wrong... I am sure he said he would continue playing - at least this round to keep the game moving; but I never heard back from him today with orders.

I also have not heard from any interested parties in joining us as a replacement.
Therefore, I am going to once again pause the game until such time we can find a new France. I will hold the orders for Spring 1940 and not run them until a new player can be found and he is given an opportunity to talk to you all first. You will also be given a chance to update your orders as well.

Once again, if you know of anyone who would like to join us, please send them my direction.
I will keep you informed when I know more.


***URGENT***
Please send congratulations to Mikael who will become a father in the next few hours (if not already)!
