Hey all,

Sorry about the sucky comments tonight. Very tired after this adjudication... Thank you all for getting your Spring 1865 orders in on time. The adjudication is attached for your review. Nine retreats are required after the Spring moves - with Summer orders required by France, Holland, Prussia, Russia, Turkey and Britain. Summer 1865 deadline will be set for Monday, October 15th (11:59 PM GMT.)

With all that being said, there was a situation that came up that I was surprised to see wasn't covered in my house rules. Several of the French support orders were written without the actual word 'support' in them. Omission of the word support is not covered in any of the instances in my HR's. Technically, I feel this voids the orders but since it is not currently in my house rules I have decided to give Lee the benefit of the doubt. I WILL be adding this into my house rules for future games, however, and will adjudicate future occurrences of this ommission as a VOID order. (In other words - if you want to order a support, please as a minimum write 'S' for Support.)

That being said, please let me know if you've spotted any errors in the adjudication. Cheers all!
