PREV Spring 1901 Adjudication: NEXT

Interesting Opening Moves All Around!
No Bounces in Usual Places But Rather Forces Occupying Them - Black Sea, Galicia!

Some quick notes:
* No retreats needed so we proceed to our Thursday 5pm CST deadline
* Because I was behind [work dinner ran late], I used a DIFFERENT program to adjudicate - I am quicker at it. I WILL BE REVERTING TO THE REAL POLITIK VERSION USED ON OTHER GAMES IN THE TOURNAMENT TOMORROW. I am sure this will at least let you guys start communicating given the tight timelines but I will send out the other version [and the one to use go-forward] soon...NOTE: different look but the same results.
* I am human. Please contest this QUICKLY if you think there is an error.
* We have PRESS. It is at the bottom.

All the best,
LotM

A Short Commentary on Not Much in Particular:

The legendary Cossacks dominated the eastern European steppes from the 14th century until the Russian Revolution, shifting their loyalties from one overlord to another.
Like the Turkish janissaries, they became an unstable element of society who struck an equal amount of fear into Russia as they did to her enemies. Not since Sparta had the world seen a society so wholly devoted to the cause of war as the Cossacks.

The Tatar khan was broken by the Cossacks. Their lands contained the wrath of the vast Ottoman empire. Even Napoleon regarded them as the most formidable opponent he faced. Tested and proven by five centuries of nearly uninterrupted warfare, the Cossacks are one of the most capable military forces the world has ever known. And now they wait with shashka in hand to see which of Russia's rivals in DC 235 will feel their wrath.

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
