With people dancing in the streets as the Polish Eagle was unfurled over Buda Castle it was announced by Supreme Headquarters that Budapest would now be known as Chicago. Riders have been sent to the great capitals of Europe asking that in future communiques that the abbreviation "Bud" be replaced by "Chi."

A&E 090205 / DC240: I have a small correction to announce. The adjudication states that there are no possible retreats for the British army in Mecklenburg. However, this is due to a flaw in my adjudication programming.

(feel free to skip the following paragraph if you don't care why)

I programmed it such that first it looks for any empty provinces to retreat to, and then it looks to see if anybody moved there this year (implying a standoff, because the province is empty). Because the French army in Hesse-Westphalia moved to Hanover, Hanover was adjudicated to be an invalid retreat. However, there was not a standoff -> the British army from Hanover defeated and dislodged the French army in Hesse-Westphalia. Therefore, Hanover is a valid retreat location (right?).

(return to regularly scheduled programming)

Anyway, the final outcome is that the British unit has a valid retreat now to Hanover. Sorry about the incorrect adjudication.

Nick
