- BRITISH FLEET FAILS TO FIND SAFE HARBOUR IN THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK
- JUBILANT MEXICANS IN MAZATLAN WELCOME RETURN OF THEIR NATIONAL NAVY
- FACED WITH THE DARK HEART OF AFRICA, TURKISH TROOPS CHOOSE APOCALYPSE NOW
- BRAZILIAN NAVY RETURNS FOR SHORE LEAVE IN SOUTH GEORGE ISLANDS

Heya folks,

A substantial number of the retreats for Early Winter 1864 were off the board, and the Mexican retreat reclaims Mazatlan further altering the build count. Those who have already submitted prelims in, please double-check as the Early Winter results have substantially altered what is needed. We'll set the Winter 1864 Adjustment deadline for Monday, October 1st (11:59 PM GMT).

There was a slight error in my written adjudication for the Fall turn, which has been pointed out to me. The Japanese navy from the Phillipines and the British navy from Hong Kong bounced in the South China Sea 2:2. I have corrected this on the adjudication - there was no need to correct the map as it was all right already. My apologies for the mistake, and thanks to the player who pointed it out.

Should be good for now - please let me know if you spot any more goofs though. Thanks everyone!
