DIPLOMATICCORP DC210 - GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
1958 ORIGINAL GAME, 1958 ORIGINAL MAP, 3-SEASON GAME YEAR
ADJUDICATION SPRING 1915 (TURN 4)
THURSDAY 16th OCTOBER 2008

PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS ADJUDICATION

GM Comment:

Things start to get interesting, as the hexagons again disappear as units disperse and open warfare breaks out in Belgium, the Carpathians and the Balkans.

Belgium takes on its traditional role as the cock-pit of Europe as Great Britain and France clash. The country doesn't change hands, although a stand-off causes it to be vacant at the end of the turn, its French fleet having pushed the British out of the English Channel.

In the North Sea the Royal Navy finds itself in another Jutland situation and this time the German Grand Fleet stays its ground (errr... waves). This dislodgement of the British fleet from the North Sea is an interesting situation. Luckily it had a stated retreat route. However, it has an army on board, so when it makes port in Edinburgh it cannot disembark the troops as the fleet cannot return to the sea area from which it came, as this is occupied by the Germans. The army has to stay on board the fleet in port. The relevant rule is C4, bullet 10.

In Norway, Russia demonstrates a way of boarding by moving a fleet to a space occupied by an army (note the flag). Without the 'B' notation, the fleet would have bounced.

Austria-Hungary also clashes with Russia over Galicia in an inconclusive campaign.

Further south, two offensives - one Ottoman against Serbia and the other Austro-Hungarian against Greece sees the Turks bundled back across the border and dislodged with no-where to go. The remnants of their destroyed army probably being marched north to prisoner-of-war camps deep in Austro-Hungarian territory.

Still not got my disk, so multiple maps per turn will have to wait a while longer. It'll be easy once I have the graphics software up and running again.

Remember to also submit any potential retreat orders with your usual orders for the next turn.

Preliminary orders are highly recommended.

Please put the game number 'DC210', season, year and country in the subject line of any orders.
