Hello Players,
We have our first elimination. Germany goes out not with a bang, but a whimper, failing to submit orders for his last season.
Current End-Game Proposal: The Russian solo proposal has failed.
New Proposal for next Spring: 3-way draw between France, Russia and Turkey
What happened?
* Austria finally achieves his life-long goal of occupying Venice, thanks to a helping hand from the Sultan.
* Germans are scrambling for French and Russian phrasebooks. Consider this revenge in advance for 30 years from now.
* France, it would appear, has decided that England's usefulness has expired. Can't quick picture a Froggie in a kilt, though.
* Turkey and Russia swap dots in the Balkans ... Okay, we're really stretching for news here. Let's just skip to the aftermath, shall we?
RETREATS:
English F Edinburgh can retreat to Clyde or OTB.
French A Munich can retreat to Burgundy or Tyrolia or OTB.
Italian A Venice can retreat to Tuscany or Piedmont or Apulia or OTB.
ADJUSTMENTS (see below for ownership and SC charts)
England is -1, unless retreat is OTB.
France is +1
Russia is +1
Turkey is +1 ... How very civilized and equitable these three are.
NEXT DEADLINE:
Autumn retreats and Winter orders are due, together, on Friday, February 18, at 18:00 EST. I expect to be adjudicating close to on time tomorrow, gents. Some of you have been pushing your luck a little lately with past-the-last-minute revisions. Just don't start relying on them, okay?
Cheers,
Chris
