The story of this first fall is a rough start for the Czar. Not only is he kept out of Sweden by the combined forces of Poland and Germany but Ukraine also seizes his southern port in Rostov. That said, the Ukrainian situation isn't all peachy, as Turkey decides that he has a stronger claim to Rumania. Other than these the only other clash is a Spanish/Italian standoff over Tunis, and everywhere else everyone makes those neutral grabs. Everybody except Russia gains at least one build, but Turkey and Britain are the big winners this year earning 4 builds each.
We have 9 of a possible 10 press releases this spring, so read up and enjoy! There is one retreat: Ukrainian A Rum may retreat to Mol, Pod, or OTB. The deadline for this retreat any Autumn 1994 press releases is this coming Monday, June 21, at 9 pm eastern.

Press #1:
Poland to Russia: The vodka is that flavored stuff. Yuck, but peace is still doable, depending on the next shipment and LIT, BIE, and Ukraine. Perhaps a northern fleet?
Poland to Ukraine: I'm listening and willing. Entry in CRP will declare your intentions.
Poland to France: Still waiting on that wine.

ITALIAN PRESS - Fall 1994
Luigi: Mario! Mario!
Mario: Luigi, whatsamatta you?
Luigi: I am worry, Mario! I am look for Peach and I not find her anywhere. She and I are to have a picnic many hours ago.
Mario: Oh, no. That is bad. Shy Guy just show me letter bad people of other country want to steal our Peach.
Luigi: Who write letter? Who steal her? Why?
Mario: A friend in Russia write of me. He not know who take Peach, but he say maybe someone want to make us sad and not good at being il generale and il ammariglio.
Luigi: The bad people do not know Mario and Luigi good. They make us not sad. They make us mad!
Mario: Preciso! We shall make the bad ones very sorry. Before we say we fight for protect Italia. Now we fight for Italia and cara nostra Peach!
Luigi: Si, si!
Mario: First, I think we shall move away and try to find Peach in near places. Maybe she not go so far yet. The armies shall move forth and search the areas to the east. What shall the ships do, Luigi?
Luigi: The Adriatic ships shall search Dalmatia and more south on the coast. The south ships shall go in Tunisi. I did hear from Signore Spagna that he wish Tunisi but we cannot allow it. Tunisi is just a koopa kick away from Sicilia. La Spagna should get in Morroca if he wish l'Africa del Nord. I not wish to be not friend of la Spagna, but this much big deal before and now more big deal that Peach is stolen.
Mario: Si. I think you are right, Luigi. But what if he fight to ships in Tunisi?
Luigi: If he fight, then I ask my friend in Egitto to help the ships in Tunisi next Spring. I think he shall help. He good guy.
Mario: I not like the idea to fight. Let us hope Signore Spagna does not choose this.
Luigi: Very so, Mario.
Mario: And do we think of what we do if we not find Peach now? Where to look next?
Luigi: I do not know, but I shall think on it. We shall talk again come Winter. We shalll maybe know better our friends and not friends then.
Mario: Si. Now let us go, Luigi. Per Italia and per Peach!
Luigi: Per Italia and per Peach!

To the world:
France is strong, but France needs a friend.
To Germany:
I think you could be the one; you are strong, blonde, and handsome, and we could help each other move North and South. A year from now, I could support your troops to Belgium in exchange for help in the South or in the West - or vice versa. Try to give me at least one year's notice so the other can respond.
To Italy and England:
My love is still up for grabs, but I don't think you like me. Send me some roses - I am sad.
