I *really* love this variant and I would almost rather play than GM, maybe next game.

How this variant unfolds is always an interesting thing to watch.

No retreats needed so we move right to the fall. Given Thanksgiving and my
travel plans I think I am going to set the fall deadline for 12/1/08 at 2100.
IF I get all 7 sets marked final by Monday the 24th I will run them early.

The results:

Austria:
F Brest - Mid-Atlantic Ocean
A Marseilles - Piedmont
A Paris - Burgundy

England:
A Budapest - Vienna (*Fails*)
F Trieste - Adriatic Sea
A Vienna - Bohemia (*Bounce*)

France:
A Moscow - Warsaw
F Sevastopol - Black Sea
F St Petersburg(sc) - Gulf of Bothnia
A Warsaw - Prussia

Germany:
F Ankara - Constantinople
A Constantinople - Bulgaria
A Smyrna Hold

Italy:
F Edinburgh - North Sea
A Liverpool - Wales
F London - English Channel

Russia:
F Naples - Ionian Sea
A Rome - Apulia
A Venice - Trieste

Turkey:
A Berlin - Silesia
