Heya Two-Steppers,

Managed to get a hold of Babak for the Italian orders and he asked me to pass along the following press:


ITALIAN PRESS:
"Friends (and foes) please accept my apologies - my cpu is overridden with virusus, including much of my work docs and other items.  I have my phone with horrid email interface and no map view.  But I want to try to keep our various alliances and wars ongoing - please don't hold my lack of communication against me.  I have purchased a new computer, so I should be set up to go late next week.   Hope to fully re-engage you all soon"



The Spring turn sees Russia push on into Germany, England stymie the French movement in the British Isles and unfortunately a miscommunication in the German command structure.  Net result is two German disbands due for Summer - from Belgium and Munich.


Deadline for Summer 05 orders will be set for Saturday, Feb 28th (11:59 PM GMT).  We're going with a slightly longer deadline to stretch things out a little for Babak while he gets his gear back online.


Please let me know if you spot any errors.  Cheers gang!
