GAME NOTES:
I apologize for the short delay. I was too focused on my slow-pitch softball championship game last night to think of Diplomacy. My team, the Master Batters, pulled off an unthinkable comeback... scoring 7 runs after being down 6 runs with two outs in the last inning... and I celebrated into the wee hours of the morning. It was a great game, played by two great teams in a fitting fashion near the shores of Lake Michigan.

Alas, we are back to the game. There is only one retreat with only available option for retreat. So unless the Turk tells me to disband... I will retreat his unit to Ankara. We'll continue on.
