Okay, People- We're done.


A Surprising amount of action for a Spring 1901 Turn- A Clash over Burgundy (French Victory) and a quarrel over the Black Sea (No Victor). No Retreats, so we move into Fall 1901, resuming a normal timeframe. Fall 1901 Orders due Tuesday the 14th of October, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time (US). Time Zones are:


GMT-8: 10 AM Tuesday the 14th
GMT-5: 1 PM Tuesday the 14th

GMT+1: 7 PM Tuesday the 14th
GMT+11: 5 AM Wednesday the 15th


Before we get to the Adjudication, I have some press I'm giving out. I don't know if it's black or white, so I'll assume it's black and if I'm wrong, the source can make that known.
