Spring 1653, there appears to be a continent-wide war between two opposing alliances: Austria, Denmark, Russia, and Spain against France, The Ottoman Empire, and Poland. Each side suffers some setbacks, and it is not at all clear who might have the upper hand. It's also not clear how long these super-alliances might last, as there is definite tension along the Austro-Danish border and perhaps some cooling of tension along the Austro-Polish border.
Retreats are needed from France and Spain. Those are due Thursday at our normal time (22:00 GMT) The possibilities are:
Spanish A Aragon can retreat to Gascony or OTB.
French A Savoy can retreat to Lombardy or DauphinÈ or Marseilles or OTB.
French F Scotland can retreat to Irish Sea or North Atlantic Ocean or Yorkshire or OTB.
