PREV Spring 1906 Adjudication: NEXT

Hey Gumballers,

First, thanks to everyone for getting your orders in on time. It seems as a group you're pushing it later and later, which makes me sweat a little bit, but as long as you come through in time I'm happy.

Now, what's going in Europe this fine Spring season?

Can you say "Bounce?" Can you say "bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce?"

By my reckoning, there were 14 units ordered to move. Only three of them succeeded. Here's a handy and informative chart to illustrate my point.

Country (Units That Moved / Units Ordered to Move)

Austria ( 1 / 4 )
England ( 1 / 3 )
France ( 0 / 0 )
Germany ( 2 / 2 )
Italy ( 0 / 2 )
Russia ( 2 / 2 )
Turkey ( 0 / 1 )

Totals ( 5 / 14 ) = 36 %

Now, what do we learn from this? Mainly that Chris has too much time on his hands. But, if we combine that insight with the full set of orders revealed below, we can take pleasure in finding a handful of shiny, wisdomy nuggets. To wit:

. Russia had his most successful turn in a long time. Enjoy it while you can, Tsar.
. France is very patient? (Um, Monsieur le President, I think you need to move that lever there to shift out of neutral.)
. Austria & Italy are scary psychic, but still can't pull of the convoy.
. Our English king does not value the North Sea as highly as some might expect. Let the guessing games begin!
. Germany wants to be helpful; he just hasn't quite got the hang of the whole "contiguous spaces" concept.
. It's never a bad day to fruitlessly attack Spain, regardless of how many times you've tried it before.

RETREATS NEEDED: None, amazingly.

NEXT DEADLINE: Fall 1906 is due next Wednesday, July 28, at 8 pm Eastern US time. Not that you have to wait that long. Hint, hint.

Please check the orders posted and let me know ASAP if any mistakes have been made. Play on!

Cheers,
Chris
