I really like this variation. Are some countries better off from the start? Perhaps. But this point in the game is when it gets interesting! England and Spain both lost SAO to Italy whose control over Tanger made the difference. England lost control of La Manche to Germany, who steamrolled into Leningrad and assisted in Marseilles. Balkans lost Hungary to Turkey, but also lost Macedonia to Italy with Turkey's help. Turkey also was able to take control of Moscow. No matter how USSR retreats, Germany and Turkey have completely wiped out USSR this year. Thanks John for playing with us!

English Fleet in La Manche can retreat to Bristol, Wales, Irish Sea, Picardy, London or disband.
French Army in Marseilles can retreat to Vichy or disband.
Balkan Army in Hungary can retreat to Austria or disband.

Retreat orders are due on Thursday, November 13 at 8:30 MST (03:30 14-11-14 GMT)
The next Spring orders will be delayed until we can get the winter build adjustments done...
