Greetings from Holland!
We have the first elimination in the game. After a long struggle, France has finally been destroyed. Nathan, thanks for playing. I hope you shall share your side of the story with us. Please send your EOG to me so I can include it in the final game summary upon completion of the game.
So what else has happened? Austria has ballooned to a whopping 16 SCs - just two short of a solo victory. Elsewhere, a number of SCs have swapped, but it was otherwise a fairly quiescent season.
Please check for mistakes. I am doing this without a current map, so there might be a mistake or two, though I hope not.
Dirk, please do not send to me any bmp files. My storage budget would get busted. I'll be in Berlin on Saturday and work things out there. And things from there on should be a lot smoother.
Oh, gotta mention that in the spring, a last Swedish set of orders got neglected by me since it wasn't marked as an order set. Harvey pointed that out to me when the Retreat had already been published, so the error stands. Suffice to say that this error arguably worked somewhat in favour of Sweden.
Liebe Grüsse,
Charles
