PREV  Fall 1938 Adjudication:  NEXT    

Fine Diplomats,

I fear that my only getting to this after 3:30 am local time will preclude my usual effort at history. I will manage to muster some headlines though! At this point I'm just pleased not to have NMR'ed. ;-)

There are two retreats (all neutral units are disbanded) and plenty of builds this year, as you will see below. Also, a Polish-Turkish draw has been proposed. Only YES votes will be counted affirmatively, and the vote must be unanimous to pass. Upcoming deadlines are at the end of this note.

HEADLINES
Suez falls to surging Turks; middle east holdings now tenuous
Guillotine being prepared for terrified French leader
Swap of Austria for Belgium not likely to please traditionalists
Italian military genius in evidence seemingly everywhere
Poles conquer Leningrad and advance in the Balkans, but suffer disaster in the the Ukraine
Aid to beleaguered Soviets punctuates new conquests
Fall of Leningrad has Soviet military leadership again uneasy
Republicans conquer Burgos, win the Spanish Civil War!
Nationalists aid Italian interests before dispersing for their homes

Now, for some player press:

***
Italian Press:

Franco regrets to announce that his forces have had a vote and decided to disperse into the French countryside. The food and wine of France are infinitely superior to that of Spain, and so he will be joining them. While he is sorry to have abandoned the Spanish people to the reign of communists, who no doubt will start doing foolish things - like helping those in poverty - he is sure that Spain will eventually emerge from this darkness and the people will stand up for real action and then move forward. Something like that, at any rate. Franco's last message to his people - as best as this correspondent can gather - is: 'This cheese is all right, hey? Pass me another bottle of the red, Mola.'

***
Turkish Press:

November 10 of this year, our dear leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk died after struggling with cirrhosis. This tragedy has shaken the Turkish Republic to the core and will undoubtedly effect the military which he so selflessly loved. On the leader's deathbed, he emphasised how much he enjoyed his tough negotiations with Jozef Stalin after their Caucasian. It is because of this and not any anti-Polish sentiment that the Black Sea fleet of the proud Türk Deniz Kuvvetleri will support the Soviet cause. Istanbul wishes that Warsaw would view this action as purely symbolic of the friendship between these two great leaders and not as some declaration of war. We are a friend to all that share our borders.

Very soon we will be notifying the world of our change in government. We hope to have this change confirmed by Spring of next year and will share our new foreign policy at that time.
