Well, it appears Mr. Lytton will fail in his stated goal to survive until Rachael returns. France runs up the white flag of surrender. As usual. Germany remains unitless in the game for another game year (way to go, Kevin!). And, given what I just said about France, I cannot think it bodes well for Italy that he has taken up residence in the French centers. Something about bad karma.
There is one superfluous retreat from France, since the unit is to be disbanded in the Winter anyway. And this leaves Austria with two build orders due no later than in 24 hours. And since I haven't mentioned him anywhere in this email: Russia.
