DIPLOMATICCORP DC210 - GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
1958 ORIGINAL GAME, 1958 ORIGINAL MAP, 3-SEASON GAME YEAR
ADJUDICATION WINTER 1914 (TURN 3)
SUNDAY 12th OCTOBER 2008

PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS ADJUDICATION

GM Comment:

The first adjustment season saw no mistakes in ordering. The hexagonal multiple unit symbol appears again where more than one unit has been built in a centre or where a unit has been built in a centre where there was already a unit. The actual units denoted by the hexagon are shown in the sidebars.

I think some of you are now starting to perceive the strengths and weaknesses of the various countries, particularly in respect of their build limitations. Having the rules regarding fleets only being built in naval bases and armies only being built in current capitals really adds a different flavour to the game.

[u:6b2a5d1658]Remember to also submit any potential retreat orders with your usual orders for the next turn. [/u:6b2a5d1658]

[u:6b2a5d1658]Preliminary orders are highly recommended.[/u:6b2a5d1658]

Please put the game number 'DC210', season, year and country in the subject line of any orders.
