It’s Autumn of 1905, and we have our first elimination. Thank you, Guile, for your commitment to this game. I would like to apologize for the behavior of your neighbors and wish you better in your next excursion. Let me know, Guile, if you wish to be removed from game-related emails.

Now, let me remind the rest of you that, even though the Seismic phase precedes the Adjustments phase, the looming elimination of Germany means that Germany gets no seismic order this year.

There is one retreat, and it has only one viable option:

French Fleet Western Mediterranean may retreat to Spain or OTB

I have adjudicated the fleet to Spain. Please correct me if you’d prefer to disband, Matt.

That leaves us with Seismic orders due on Thursday at 1000 CST (or when all orders are received). And adjustments (quite a few thanks to the Kiel retreats of the Spring) will be on Friday. See the end of the email for the list.
