PREV Fall 1901 Adjudication: NEXT

***** Autumn 1901 (see below for Fall) *****

Hi Players,

It's a fine morning here in The Hub. Hope it's nice where you are, too. Austria has expedited his retreat orders so we can proceed to the next phase. Those of you who are privileged to see those retreats will see that info in your country reports to be sent out immediately following this message.

Now it is time to post the Supply Center counts for 1901. This is like publishing the salaries and tax returns of your local public officials. Who knew he made that much? He's not doing so well. Maybe a bad investment?

Enough of my tortured analogy. The chart:

COUNTRY SC
Austria 2
England 5
France 3
Germany 4
Italy 5
Russia 7
Turkey 5

==================================================

NEXT DEADLINE:

Winter 1901/Spring 1902 are due Friday, May 7, at 8 pm Eastern time. If all orders are in and marked Final I may adjudicate earlier.

Reminder that you can only build on your home SC. It was only the starting turn where you could position your units in other spaces.

NOTES on Retreats:

I received a couple of good questions about retreats that I thought I would share with everyone.

Q: What happens if austria retreats to a space with a unit already in it? Disband? My guess then would be disband the fleet and retreat to bul (disbanding) and build 2 armies. If that happened, would russia see that the retreat fails? Would the rest of the game?

If Austria does not submit a legal retreat, Austria's unit will be disbanded. That would include all of these scenarios:
1. retreating to an occupied space
2. retreating to a space where units bounced the previous season
3. colliding with another retreating unit (his own or another player's)
4. an invalid retreat based on the map. e.g. Retreat A Rumania - Warsaw.
5. NRR - no retreat received

The opposing player(s) who caused the retreat would also learn of the disband, but not where the unit was ordered to or why the disband happened. In other words, whether the retreat succeeds or fails, the opponent is told the RESULTS of the retreat only. Austria, himself, would be given the exact reason in the case where the retreat failed.

For example, England dislodging a German army from Kiel might be told "The German army has retreated to Denmark" or "The German army has disbanded." In the latter case, he wouldn't know whether the disband was ordered by the German or was the result of one of the situations noted above.

***** Fall 1901 ******

Players,

Well, I was just about to go to bed so I checked my Inbox one last time, and lo and behold, there was the last "Final" authorization. So I propped up my eyelids and dove into it. Please check carefully!

News of the Season:

> Our two eastern hot spots remain the same, but this time Austria is on the wrong side of both transactions, losing Trieste to Italy and Rumania to the Russo-Turkish team. Did he say team? Yes, he did.

> In the west, A Burgundy, which went for Munich last time, changes course and goes for Belgium, only to find a German army already ensconced therein.

> Every country shows at least one unit except for England. Where are those crafty Brits, anyway? That's what this game is all about, isn't it?

=========================================
Orders resolved:

Austria:
A Rumania Supports * (*Dislodged*)
F Trieste - Venice (*Dislodged*)

England:

France:
A Burgundy - Belgium (*Fails*)

Germany:
A Belgium Supports * (*Cut*)

Italy:
F Adriatic Sea Supports A Venice - Trieste
A Venice - Trieste

Russia:
A Sevastopol - Rumania

Turkey:
F Black Sea Supports A Sevastopol - Rumania

============================================

Retreats needed:

Austria
A Rumania
F Trieste

Retreats to be submitted within 24 hours please. Retreats are reported to all countries which participated in the dislodgement. Hence, A Rumania's retreat will be reported to Russia and Turkey. F Trieste's retreat will be reported to Italy.

Reminder that Austria is NOT informed of the available spaces for retreat. He must submit his orders blind.

============================================

Next Phase:

After retreats have been posted, I will send out a new public report containing the SC counts for each nation.

I recommend that you wait until you receive this report before submitting your Winter/Spring orders, even if you know the Austria retreats do not affect you.

Cheers,
Chris
