Sorry for the slight delay in the adjudication. As I mentioned yesterday, I wasn't available for a couple of hours on either side of the deadline.
Spring 1765 sees the Franco-British alliance flex its muscle. They capture Berlin, and appear to move into position to attack Spain. The battle between Sweden and Denmark begins to find a context in the larger continental conflict, as despite giving a support which was not used, Sweden has clearly allied itself with Britain/France. Russia continues to improve its position, and is poised to take both Crimea and Abo. But perhaps the most interesting development is the cooperation between Austria and Turkey to capture the Papal States.
I need retreats from Denmark and Prussia. They are due by Thursday at 22:00 GMT. As always for spring retreats, I won't wait until the deadline to adjudicate unless specifically requested to do so. Also if Josiah submits his retreat before Nick, I may well auto-retreat the Prussian unit, as it only has one retreat option. Nick, if I should do this but you would have preferred to retreat OTB, I will change it.
Possible retreats:
Prussian A Berlin can retreat to Breslau or OTB.
Danish-Norwegian F Christiania can retreat to Skagerrak or Norwegian Sea or Novgorod Territory or Barents Sea or OTB.
