Note when listing retreats if you wish only retreats listed to be executed add OTB to end of your list. [Retreat A Can to ton, may] can result in auto retreat to HKg if retreat to ton/may not possible.
I thank one and all for your kind words on loss of my brother. Its been rough going at times for this game and its about to get one more complication.
[France is now a Rogue Country in Civil Disorder.]
Players may offer up one or more of their moves in the Spring or Fall to try and order a French unit, this is a CD Bid.
Britain has sent in orders A Punjab to Tibet,A Hyderbad
support F Ars to Bom and Civil Disorder order moves in form:
CD Punjab (GOS - Ban), CD Hyderbad (GOS - Ban)
This means Britain is making two bids for France to move F
GOS - Ban, if there are 3 bids for GOS - Ban and two or
less bids for different GOS order, GOS - Ban will be
executed and units in Punjab and Hyderbad are ordered to hold.
So let the guerrilla warfare begin! Send in CD orders for France with your Spring moves!

COLONIAL PRESS RELEASES
Paul Hawkins - Putting me as rogue would be much appreciated. I have enjoyed but I am too preoccupied with other things at the moment. Thanks for giving me this option and I hope it hasn't spoilt the balance of the game?
Steve Drage - Guys, as the old saying goes 'all is fair in love and war' so what an illegal move escaped detection! Here is the point this is war and spies and units will always try to escape detection and more to the point they will still act and NOT stand idly by the watch their fellow units hammered. I say let the fact that he slipped through be a point in Roberts favour, (he has little else in his favour after all) besides it is not like it was a deliberate attempt to decieve the GM. It was just one of those simple errors. I had no idea the rule even existed, but of course it does make sense, but I may have made the same mistake quite easily. You could say it as Peters fault for letting his guards sleep on duty!
(GM-Well said)
TURKEY ==> UK: You said you were “still mad” (Yes, I think we all know that), well prepare to be madder still - if the backstab I’m trying to pull off works, my biggest problem will be finding space to build... You may think of me as Dastardly and Muttley (Snigger, snigger, snigger, snigger), you may think of me as a two-faced double-crossing ratbag (I go to bed at night singing “I’m a two-faced double-crossing ratbag”) but “Diplomacy” is all about treachery and backstabbing. I hope I’ve stitched you up royally...
Robert Skynner walked gingerly onto the stage and stood directly over the X. He's seen X-Factor before, on his Television, but here he was himself, now on TV and taking part in the British X-Factor 2011. 'So what are you?' Simon Cowell asked him. 'A diplomacy board gamer', Peter replied, which immediately brought sniggers from Louis Walsh, who looking at Robert's resume noticed that this completely talentless man had only won a single game of diplomacy in his life. 'OK' Cowell replied, 'do your stuff.' To which Robert then moved tiny counters about on a map, making wildly exaggerated claims of European conquest by 1906 at the latest and lying about the number of Peter’s “Diplomacy wins. The judges then erupted into hysterics. Louis then said to Robert: 'I think that that was the most talent less demonstration of diplomacy skills which I've ever seen.’ Simon added: ‘Robert if you'd spent the last two minutes shoving a frozen turkey up your backside whilst singing “God Save the Queen”, I think you would have achieved more than you have. You’re obviously completely untalented. Twenty years without only one win. You need to learn from that fine Mr Drage, now he's a real board gamer.' So all four judges rejected Robert who walked back home to Exeter, and his life as Britain's greatest ever “Diplomacy” failure, the poor so and so. The End
TURKEY ==> WORLD: If there are any earth-tremors reported in the southwest of England, it will be Robert jumping up and down with rage, if large clouds of smoke emerge it’s not a volcano [Us Brits don’t do those - too destructive], just the steam coming out of Robert’s ears....
