GM Notes:
The delay today was due to:
1. Inaccurate Abbreviations. For the most part the consensus was to be lenient at this time. However one order was considered ambiguous because it could have been referring to more than one place, thus the unit held in place. If you do not write out the entire province name, The 1st map with the adjudication is a reference map that shows the home centers and province abbreviations. You should use the map to check to make sure you are using the correct abbreviations, since some of the province names can not be (properly) read when a unit is there. You may bookmark the link in case I don't attach it each turn.
2. Poorly Written Orders: There was also a case of a missing movement designator. Since there was no other unit in the area the order was considered poorly written but unambiguous. If another unit had been in the area the order would have been considered ambiguous and invalid.
For those who have not been in one of my games before: with retreat orders I include OTB as a retreat option. As a reminder that a unit may retreat Off The Board (disband).
