Hi guys,

Well - unfortunately - I requested clarification of orders and instead received a resignation from our good Italian dictator. Nath, I do hope you'll reconsider but will put the game open to recruiting. If you change your mind then please just let me know.

Meanwhile, to keep the game moving I've run the turn with the orders in hand. The English expeditionary force in Belgium finds no Dunkirk and meets a grisly end. Turkey fends of the larger part of the southern Russian offensive but receives no quarter in Bulgaria. And the wires cross for the forces in green resulting in two Italian units standing and waiting for orders.

No retreats are required after the Spring 05 moves. I'll immediately seek out a replacement Mussolini and will announce the Fall 05 deadline once we have found our stand-in.

Cheers everyone. Please let me know if you spot any errors.
