Seriously? Fall was run, even winter was run, and we're backing up to
pre-winter, AND giving France a build to boot?

How is the word "Correction" in any way relevant? Of course a revised
set is going to be a correction. Are GM's supposed to interpret words
like that, or adjudicate the orders a player submitted?

What if France's "correction" was that he intended to NMR those two
units? How can we possibly know? We cant!

You are completely setting a bad precedent that GM's are now responsible
to go check all previous sets of orders when processing the latest set
for any orders omitted.

So to be clear:

If an order submission includes the word "correction" somewhere in the
text, then you will research past order submissions, and selectively
include orders from past submissions with the revised (corrected)
submission.

But if an order submission does not include the word "correction" then
you will not include partial portions of past orders with current order
sets?

Is this in your house rules?

I had no idea such a word would be so impacting, or that GM's would EVER
go pick partial orders from one set and mix them with orders from a
later set.

Are there other such "key words" we should be made aware of? I would
suggest we document them because I didn't know.

Honestly this is the FIRST time I have ever, in 5 years of Dip play,
seen a turn completely backed up past a posted adjudication. I took my
botched orders and made the best of it thru busy / unattentive times.
What is different here? This is ridiculous.

All,
I want to make a point very clear at this time:

***
This is the ONLY TIME I will ever, repeat EVER, alter an adjudication
after a subsequent turn has already been run. Jon, you're lucky I'm
doing it at all. The only reason I am is that the Winter 1908 builds
will be mostly unaffected by this change.

Deadline:

Winter 1908 is due NOW. What I mean is, I want Jon's build today. I
fully intend to put this adjudication out this evening, with or without
a French build. Adam, if you plan to change your builds, I'd better get
the revision today. If I don't hear from you, I'll use what you gave me
for the LAST Winter 1908.
I usually wake up at about 4pm EST, and I have to run to the grocery
store, so let's plan for about 7pm EST. (11pm GMT.)
Any issues or errors, let me know.


Map and RP file are attached for your convenience, enjoy!

Thanks all,
The White Wolf
