Heya folks,

Just a reminder that Fall 05 orders are due in approximately 11 hours. I do not currently have all sets in hand.

Secondly, the question has come up regarding the Swedish fleet retreat to Vattern last round. The variant rules are somewhat vague concerning the fleet movements through land provinces. They mention that Bolmen has two coasts - but do not mention where the dividing line between the east coast and west coast portions of the province are.

In a GM judgement call, I placed that line halfway through the province - basically from the southern tip of Vattern Lake down. This splits the province roughly equally in two and allows fleet movement from the Bolmen west coast to Vattern.

Alternatively, the dividing line could have been placed from the Bolmen/Goteborg border down to the Bolmen/Malmo border. This would prevent movement from Bolmen(wc) to Vattern.

With no guidance from the variant rules (and the omission of discussion about the subject does NOT count as guidance) I have decided to stick with the judgement call I originally made - [u:f0028f05d6]allowing movement between Bolmen(wc) to Vattern.[/u:f0028f05d6] This is definitely a flaw in the variant rules and I'd look forward to hearing the player opinions concerning this detail in their EOG statements. It is a detail I should have specified at the start of the game, and for that failure I do apologize.

Cheers folks,

Trout
