DIPLOMATICCORP DC210 - GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
1958 ORIGINAL GAME, 1958 ORIGINAL MAP, 3-SEASON GAME YEAR
ADJUDICATION SPRING 1914 (TURN 1)
MONDAY 29th SEPTEMBER 2008

PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS ADJUDICATION

GM Comment:

Everybody kicks off smoothly in a very different Europe from the one we are all used to.

As this is a commemorative game and rarely seen version then I'm going to go against my usual practise and give a game commentary. I will point out things of note, but not give my views on the the quality or advisibility of any orders. I

think this season could be called 'a general European mobilization'. No clashes yet - we can assume the Dutch coast guard didn't take on the Kaiserliche Marine. One thing to note is the 'army on board' (if you can read this sign you are too close) notation (the flag) on one of the Royal Navy's fleets and that all the multiple unit hexagonal symbols disappear for a while as units leave the capitals and naval bases. A difference from the standard game becomes apparent from turn 1 - the Royal Navy and Marine Nationale can't clash as so often happens. I'm not around for a few days from late (my time) Thursday, so I'm allowing a week for this second turn. Please don't leave any questions until the last minute.

Remember to also submit any potential retreat orders with your usual orders for the next turn.
Preliminary orders are highly recommended.
Please put the game number 'DC210', season, year and country in the subject line of any orders.
