"Never wear your best pants when you go fight for freedom"

A lesson learnt well by both Quebec and Cuba, and taken especially to heart by the Texans. Squeezed on all fronts, Texas joins the turbulence of the middle of the board and when the smoke clears, we find that the phrase 'Remember the Alamo' lies only in the history books. My thanks to Nathan for throwing his hat into this particular nest of scorpions, and for playing it out although stung rather severely. =)

There are some massive changes on the SC count for the winter, but first we have four Early Winter retreats. The two Texas retreats are academic, however New York must retreat the army in Maine and Peru must relocate from Panama. Deadline for the Early Winter retreats will be set for Sunday, February 17th (11:59 PM GMT).

As always, please just let me know if you spot any errors. Cheers gang!
