Hi guys,
well, this has been an eventful season. More war, more fighting. Europe's busy!
I ought note that George and Ben are playing in the College of Cardinals game together. Just so everyone knows, as I set out in the house rules.
I've had some trouble with the adjucation software. For some reason, it thinks all minor powers belong to Algiers (but not initially). As such, I had to fudge a little and remove F Tunis in advance. Odd bug. Not that it need concern you. Just telling in case you're wondering why there's no F Tunis on the orders map.
Four players owe me retreat orders. I suggest you send them off once you've gone through the results. Remember that if not otherwise asked to, I may adjucate as soon as I have all retreats.
Happy dipping!
Charles
