Well folks it has happened again. I have heard nothing from Eric Gaul our French commander. Being so, I resolved the Spring moves with the French NMRs. I also do now have a replacement player for France. I hope he will be as faithful as our friend playing Turkey now.

As for the results we do have three retreats. With multiple choices for the German and maybe a minor choice for the Turks and with the extra time needed to get "everytime" on board, let us go ahead and set Retreats due on Tuesday 08 APRIL 2008 by 8pm EST. The following week on Tuesday 15 APRIL 2008 (also by 8pm) we will have our Fall 1903 moves due.

At this time let me formally introduce Willie (William) Wonder. He assures me this is his real name and that his parents had a funny sense of humor. "everytime" is his DC screenname and he is new to DC, but he says' "I've been playing Diplomacy since some of them were in diapers." He is included in this email, so you each should have his mail now. He did also mention he is a little sporadic with checking his email, so bare with him if he doesn't reply very quickly.
