In wartime, truth is so precious that she should be attended by a bodyguard of lies.

The truth of the matter is that things are getting interesting in our Europe...

The German leader orders his armies and fleets to defend their territories at all costs, but it is to no avail as English armies in Belgium sweep northward into Holland and the low countries sending the German fleet to the bottom. The navies of France likewise make a strong move into Spain and establish a presence in the warm Mediterranean. In the east, even in death the Turkish soldiers are tenacious as the ghosts of thousands of Turkish soldiers massacred earlier in the year vainly attempt to hold onto Bulgaria.

Hyperbole aside, there is one retreat due, and Italy can retreat its fleet Wes to Naf, Tun, Tyn or OTB. As there was only one retreat due, I took the liberty of retreating the unit to Tun. David, if you don't like that, let me know ASAP or NLT Friday, October 3.

If Italy makes a change, I will publish it.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, check the previous map/status before sending in your orders; check your spelling and abbreviations--it must be correct when I receive it--and REMEMBER if you are moving a fleet to a territory with two coasts, you MUST specify which coast you are moving to, otherwise the move is invalidated!

Adjustments are going to be due on Monday, October 6 with Spring 1903 orders then due on Friday, October 11. All times are 2359 GMT.

As always please check the details below and help me make sure it was not just the red wine talking!

Thanks again guys for the timeliness of your submissions. We are 100 percent to date!

Good luck and best regards.

Bruce
