The popular vacation destination for 1906? Sweden. And the lucky tourist ticket goes to... the lads of the British Skaggerak Fleet.

There is only one retreat. It is also a disband. So our next phase is S1906 Seismic.

We had one serious cartographic miscue this season. I apologize for confusion that may have been caused by my map – and I will redraw the fleet in Norway as a consequence so that it clearly resides on the west coast – but the fleet in Norway does not border on the Barents Sea. Norway has two coasts, as was specified by Mr. Lytton way back in S1901:

“My plan was (and should be clear...er) I DO not want fleet travel from Barents to NWG. No Isthmus, No strait etc.”

I am open to suggestions as making my maps clearer, and again, I apologize if I sowed befuddlement.

Of course, with a Seismic order coming up, the situation can now be rectified in a variety of ways.

Russia is absentee through January 30, so there will not be another deadline until Monday, February 2 at 1000 CST. Please get your seismic orders in before then, though.
