PREV Fall 1899 Adjudication: NEXT

Agent Fresh scanned the far bank of the Vistula and cast off once again from his small dinghy. A small bucket, brimming with fish, slopped gently next to him. Despite the mystery surrounding the details of why Commander Tesarik's first army had deserted Greece; the expansion of the emerging powers in Europe had proceeded much as the League of Shadows analysts had predicted.

Of the thirtyfour states that the League had assessed might support a military, only seven now remained free from the terror which was engulfing the rest of Europe.

The industrial provinces of Warsaw and Berlin were unoccupied however, and this at least allowed Fresh the luxury of some relaxing fishing in the crisp Silesian Autumn air, as opposed to the hasty retreat he would no doubt be making, had the Kielian army chosen not to advance instead into Denmark.

Returning to his lodgings, Agent Fresh bestowed the gift of his bucket, and its' contents, to a grateful maidservant and began packing for his journey South. Once all was prepared, Fresh connected the Electric Telegram, fired up the generator and sent his subordinates' military reports directly back to Zurich. There was no need for any preamble in this report... Fresh judged that his imminent Winter offering would contain far more information for his superior, Professeur Griffe.

*********************************

Dear Takers of The Peace

Thanks for keeping my job easy and supplying me with orders in a timely manner. There are a couple of you who have not been supplying prelims - please bear in mind that it makes my life even easier if you all send prelims as soon as you've seen the current map.

No retreats this turn and so our next deadline is for the Winter 1899 adjustment phase. All of you - bar Austria - have two builds each, Austria just the one.

THE DEADLINE FOR WINTER 1899 IS THIS THURSDAY AT 12NOON GMT - roughly 48 hours from now.

You will notice on the map that the Supply Centre symbols now have the owners' colour as a surround - this signifies that it is a Home Centre of that particular power and that for the rest of the game they are the only Centres each respective power may use to build new units. The colour of the province itself may change, as the game progresses and new owners assume control of it, but the colour of the supply centre symbol will remain the same.

Now that we have almost reached the traditional starting season in a standard game, you may - if you wish - choose to rename your power. This is not compulsory, but what the hell - How often do you get to rename your power? Never: Thats how often... so go ahead and have fun with it. Thanks to KenderCommander for suggesting it in the first place.

HOWEVER: Please attempt to keep your new name in line with the theme of our game and related to the provinces you own.

EG. Acceptable new names for 'Turkey' might be: The Aegean Empire, or The Republic of Constantinople. Unacceptable names for Turkey would include: The Scandinavian Alliance, or indeed: The Kingdom of Radioactive Bananas (the former because it misrepresents the current map position and the latter ...well - I'll say no more) Any proposed names which I judge to foul the flavour of our game will be ignored and the power will keep its traditional moniker.

Please don't hesitate to also include further information about the nature of your uprisings, or perhaps prominent figures in your fledgling militaries and governments. This is of course completely voluntary, but it all adds a bit of flavour to the alternate history we are forging.

I hope you are all enjoying the game so far. I'm certainly having a ball tinkering with my maps and units and am very interested to see how the board develops as we hit the turn of the century.

Now send me your Winter 1899 prelims/final orders!

Thanks again
