Hi guys,
I take the HRE beating France 1-0 in SCs this fall was a good omen for good ole Germany. I needn't have fretted.
In regards to future map changes, another idea has occurred to me. Redrawing Black Ruthenia so that it touches White Ruthenia. This would mean that Vilna and Volhynia no longer adjoin. An initial A Warsaw-Volhynia would then no longer help protect Vilna, while also presenting a good point from which to expand into the Steppes cluster. Thoughts?
Our next deadline's on Wednesday, July 9. Hopefully we'll by then know that Germany and Oranje shall meet in the finals!
Happy dipping!
Charles
