An interesting opening season to say the least! The only direct conflict occurs in Bielorussia, with Russia's and Ukraine's single units each being overpowered by Poland's supported move. The failure especially hurts the Czar as it also causes his unit in Moscow to remain put. Elsewhere Germany and France head toward each other, Turkey and Ukraine split control of the Black Sea, and Britain and Spain seem to have avoided conflict over The Rock. I'm excited for what the fall will bring!
The press, as you will see, is getting juicier by the season. We have 6 releases this season. There are obviously no retreats, but as promised the retreat season will occur anyways for the purpose of press releases. Those releases are due tomorrow, Tuesday, June 15, at 9 pm eastern time. Fall 1994 will follow this Friday, June 18, at 9 pm eastern.
