<<<<tick-ity-tick-tick- -tick-ity-tick-tick- ......>>>

New Italian leader.

Hamish, father of Chota the cat, has stepped onto the podium to take his
rightful place as glorious leader of Italy.

Singer and star of the stage, Daniella Espresso spoke for the nation
when she said, "what better man to lead Italy to victory than the father
of a cat. This is the leader we need at these times. Just look at his
soft coat!"

With the closing of 1904 we must bid our farewells to Nancy McKenna (aka Germany). With overwhelming force and nowhere left to run, her remaining two armies were disbanded and her supply centers captured. We thank you Nancy for your time, and we wish you the best. Feel free to sign up for another game (or more). Also please let me know if you would like to remain on the list for emails. (Just to keep an eye on those who beat up on you.)

Winter Builds and Removes will be due by Monday 26th May 8pm EST. (I will be camping this Memorial weekend). If I get a complete sets before then, I will try to adjudicate before I go on Friday.
