Hallo zusammen,
I'm afraid both Michael and Jimmy failed to meet the regular deadline. This means that Michael has now used up both of his two grace periods accorded to him for this game. Didn't get round to bugging players about orders as on other occasions. Just try to remember: Saturdays we commonly have our prelim deadline. Mondays our regular moves deadline. Wednesdays our retreats and adjustments. We all don't any grief to befall this game.
Now, what happened this season? In terms of conquests not all that much. Britain descended on the port of Brest, while the Rzeczpospolita has extended her influence into Norway. In the East, Turkey stalled both Polish and German advances, though failed to achieve the same in regards to Italy.
BTW, have any of you guys watched the Eurovision Song Contest this weekend? Well, I'm totally jazzed that Germany won with a classy act and that we'll now be hosting the event after 28 years for the first time. Berlin 2011 is gonna be about as big a party as the World Cup was here in 2006! :)
The Fall 1939 Moves are due NLT 6PM CET on Monday, 7 June. Prelims 48 hours in advance please.
Liebe GrĂ¼sse,
Charles
