I apologize for the missed orders...my lack of weekend connection has been well established. My family has also gone through a particularly rough stretch health-wise...nothing critical, just never-ending.

For my part, I think it is pretty irrelevant anyway, as this game belongs to USA and Holland anyway, as they have enough boot lickers to ensure their victory and the rest of us have sat by and allowed it to happen.

As a result, Brazil declares her neutrality in the global conflicts and sends all her troops to the beach for a good fejouada.

My orders from this day forward is for Brazilian forces to stand down. They will HOLD until such time as the details of the draw are established.

- HURRICANES CONTINUE TO BATTER BRAZILIAN COASTS - NO ORDERS FORTHCOMING

------------------------------------

Hey folks,

Unfortunately I couldn't find orders from Ted so Brazil waives their build. Armies appear to be the order of the day, although a few fleets do spring up in Anchorage, San Francisco and southern China. Meanwhile, the entire northern Russian fleet falls off the edge of the world.

Please let me know if you spot any errors. Deadline for Spring 1870 orders will be set for Wednesday, March 12th (11:59 PM GMT). Which, of course, means that one or more 'NO' votes for the proposed DIAS were received - we play on!

Cheers all,

Trout
