Hi guys,
time to say goodbye to Marc. After a long struggle, the exiled Danish monarch has succumbed to Swedish numerical superiority. Marc, thanks for playing and soldiering on until the final curtain. Please don't forget to send me your EOG.
Elsewhere, the Turks and Austrians have made gains against the Western alliance. And the unruly Ukrainian Cossacks appear to have finally lost their independence.
No retreats are due so we move directly on to the fall. Please send me your preliminary orders before Saturday 6PM CET. And then next Monday's again deadline time.
Liebe Grüsse,
Charles
