Josiah has again failed to submit orders, which means he abandons his position. I know Denmark was in a difficult position, but it still irks me when people quit playing once they realize their position is hopeless. Every single order is potentially game changing in Diplomacy, and to fail to submit orders is just disrespectful to your competitors, and the game itself. I understand at times people will miss deadlines when real-life intrudes, but quitting when you are losing is different. It's not as if one "forgets," at least in my games I send reminders a couple of times leading up to the deadline. And it doesn't take any effort to send in a quick email with an order for a single unit. Not sending orders when losing is a willful choice, and it's pretty much equivalent to taking your ball and going home because your friends won't let you win.
Denmark-Norway is now in Civil Disorder, making Christiania a newly independent minor power. For the fall, that unit will be an army, and it's support can be purchased with DPs.
Elsewhere, France suffers serious setbacks on its eastern front, and the Franco-British alliance which looked so strong a few turns ago, now appears to be losing the war to the eastern powers. France is poised to make gains in Spain, but I still wonder if given a do-over Britain/France might not reconsider their Spanish offensive.
There are three retreats, due Thursday, 22:00 GMT. The possibilities are:
French A Burgundy can retreat to Picardy or Paris or Marseilles or Gascony or Austrian Netherlands or OTB.
French A Hesse-Westphalia can retreat to United Provinces or Austrian Netherlands or OTB.
Spanish F Western Mediterranean can retreat to Sardinia or Gulf of Lyon or Gibraltar or OTB.
