PREV Summer 1763 Adjudication: NEXT

A&E 090205 / DC240: The Spring 1763 Retreat season has been adjudicated. The British army in Hanover has retreated to Holstein. Our next deadline for Fall 1763 is Thursday Feb 26th at 10 pm USA Eastern time. Mike has graced with some more press as well...

Press:
AP London: "Honest to God truth, I didn't know Prussia was a separate European Country, or that they had an army!" stated an exasperated Lord Frank on the shame of the Hanoverian 1st Brigade's startling defeat in the lowlands. The monarchy is facing some significant heat from critics, wondering how the navy could take control over the entire seas around the island, and surprise the French off the coast of Brest, while the lone English army was not only sitting idle, but being pushed north at an astounding pace. Lord Granite is particularly feeling the heat, as word from the embassy in Berlin (which was burned to the ground by rioting Prussians) was that Lord Granite never made an appearance prior to the onset of conflict, nor sent word that any talks with Prussian ambassadors were to take place.

When asked what damage control was being done with regard to the situation, Lord Frank paused, then answered quietly. "Well, we have begun discussions, but they are probably not as friendly as they may have been if we had talked before our army was routed to the Holstein Peninsula." Lord Frank was quick to point out that diplomatic efforts had been very fruitful on other fronts. "We've secured a tentative peace with Austria, and our neighbors to the east in Denmark and Norway have been absolutely smashing in our time of need."

While Lord Frank would not elaborate on plans for the fall campaign, he did give some hints. "Our army will not be embarrassed again. We will enlist the support of all who would help us reclaim what is ours. If the Prussian Government wishes to be included in that group, we are willing to let bygones be bygones. Water under the bridge. No sense crying over spilled milk. We'll give 110% effort, and God willing, we will reoccupy Hanover without undo pause. Oh...we're also going to save the repressed people of Brest."

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.
