Hi guys,
first order of the day: The BGI three-way draw proposal failed.
Regarding the three remaining minor powers, one might take note of these all being equidistant to the surrounding major powers' home bases. I dare say that minor powers who are either relatively isolated or are located on the faultlines of various spheres of influence have the best chance to survive.
As the Président's ship sails into the sunset en route to his Tahitian exile, I do hope he'll be able to write his memoirs on those tropical beaches. Matt, perhaps you might wish to submit your EOG while things are still fresh in your mind? Again, thanks for serving as interim Président. We all appreciated you jumping in at short notice. Should you want to participate in a future game of mine, your power preferences will be considered first as a small thanks.
Preliminary orders are due Monday, 6 PM CET. Let's see what the fourth year in this struggle for European hegemony shall hold for us. If the press is to believed, we're in for a second Gallipoli!
Happy dipping,
Charles
