PREV Spring 1768 Adjudication: NEXT

A&E 090205 / DC240: The unrelenting high drama of this fantastic game continues with a British stab of Denmark-Norway. The Danish possessions in the Prussian homeland have been occupied, and Konge David (King David) has some difficult tactical decisions to make this fall. In a further setback, the Danish bid to conquer Koenigsberg fell short, with a Polish-Saxon army bouncing there also.

In the Mediterranean, the Austrian fleet recaptured Two Sicilies, one season after spurning the support of the army in the Papal States. It remains to seen whether the Archduke can hold it down in the critical fall season. The Alpine battleline moved slightly east, with Spain surrendering Marseilles to a British army (which apparently will now turn it over to a French army). In Iberia, the problematic Austrian unit was destroyed, which can be viewed in Vienna as both a curse (that army was a nice tactical piece tying down many units in the back lines) and a blessing (Austria can rebuild a unit of their choice... if Austria gets a build).

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out in the "money" Fall season, when the gains of spring are either consolidated, expanded on, or reversed. The deadline for the 1768 Spring Retreat season is Fri May 1st, with the only order needed from Turkey for the fleet in Two Sicilies. The following deadline for the 1768 Fall season is Thu May 7th.

Before the adjudication, the entertaining press war continues, with the new twist of a contribution from the Peanut Gallery (thanks!).

Press #1 (Peanut Gallery)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Peanut Gallery to Britain: The Mike Matusow of Diplomacy? You, Frank? After watching the Apprentice with Donald Trump, I would have pegged you as the mischevious and manipulative Annie Duke. But at least you don't have Joan Rivers out to get you.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Press #2 (British)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
England to France: Mike, I don't expect we made Marseilles, but if we did, I will return it to French control as soon as possible.

England to Denmark/Norway: I had to attack somewhere, David. I wouldn't be surprised if you stopped me, or if you even attacked Han. haha...it was good while it lasted, but I think we both knew the day would come where it had to come to blows.

England to Anonymous: One to add to your list.

England to Peanut Gallery: Was this the moment? Should I have played for the shared victory with Denmark/Norway?

Press #3 (Anonymous)

The notion that it's Austria talking to you this way is certainly flattering. Were I ever so big, I would be making deep gashes in you about now. Face facts, Frank: you've got this whole game wired. Everyone's jumping when you say so. But it'll come crashing down on you ... if they wise up in time. If they're all chumps, well, you'll win. Which basically means that you can only beat chumps, champ.
