Good evening and welcome back to the game. I hope everyone was able to relax a bit this week.
First, it seems that Joao gave up on the game. This is the second season without orders. However, this season saw his last unit disbanded from the board. Thank you for playing as long as you did Joao!
Second, France will be asking about this, so I will address it with everyone. France attacked the Russian fleet in the North Sea. The Russian Fleet was convoying an army from Edinburgh to Holland. This is a rare rule that allows the fleet to continue to convoy with the attack from France considered as a failed order. I wanted to address this now so that everyone knows it wasn't an error.
Third, I am going to automatically process the Autumn retreat and send it out in a few moments. Turkey's unit in Constantinople was dislodged and could retreat to Smyrna. However Turkey will be losing a supply center in Winter, would likely choose to keep Ankara, and disband the unit in Smyrna anyway. I will be disbanding the unit in Constantinople now, release the results and move to the winter adjustments with this already done.
There is one bit of press that was sent along this time:
-- Despite the closeness and working relationship of Russia/Italy, it seems Russia will soon turn on their ally to get the last SC's needed to dominate Europe. --
