As I feared, both Italy and Turkey have fallen into Civil Disorder after suffering a second consecutive NMR. They are now out of the game. Those powers' units will all Hold, but will be automatically disbanded if dislodged -- and as you will see below, Austria takes immediate advantage. In anticipation of a question, yes, those of you who are still active can order your units to support a unit in CD.

In actual game action, Russia gains the Black Sea, and Austria moves to Aegean Sea. Russia's attempt to take Berlin fails, as Germany's F Sweden cuts a support. Germany moves to Ruhr, England occupies Belgium, and France dislodges the English F MAO. Austria takes Tyrolia, and with Italy in CD, the Italian army is disbanded.

The English F MAO may retreat to NAO, Irish Sea, Gascony, Western Med, North Africa, or off-the-board (OTB). With so many choices, England will have a Summer 1902 deadline tomorrow, Thursday 3/13 at 23:59 GMT. Michael, as I mentioned in a previous message, because of the time difference between GMT and US Central, you really will have nearly 48 hours to send your retreat order -- but a quicker response would be much appreciated. I will post the Summer 1902 result as soon as I see it.

I must admit, I wish we had a full complement of 7 dedicated players. But I do appreciate those of you who are still participating.
