I'm afraid I got the orders for F GOL and F TYS wrong. So the below adjucation and maps are corrected. Thanks, Mark, for pointing that out.
I also noticed that F Morocco's order was illegal. It cannot support to Sahara because it may not move there. Therefore, the unit simply holds.
At least there are no longer any DP orders for me to mess up. Those I recheck very thoroughly since nobody can examine what I've done. Unit orders - obviously - not so much.

Hi guys,
what happened this fall? A quick summary:
Austria: The Emperor has further consolidated his hold over Italy. The Franco-Spanish war has certainly produced a winner in Vienna.
England: So Cromwell - enjoying Russian support - did indeed go papist-bashing on the emerald isle. He has also invited the Swedes into England. Perhaps they'll be instrumental in taking London back. But guests sometimes do overstay their welcome...
France: Marseille... Tuscany... These are sore losses and especially the Spaniards at Marseille might prove particularly irksome. The Most Christian King at least hold now sway over Madrid. I suppose the Spanish court's prized art collection is on its way to the Louvre.
Russia: Morocco was lost, but arguably cannot be denied the Tsar for much longer.
Spain: I suppose her year might have ended in a worse fashion. In any case, tougher times yet seem to be on their way.
Sweden: Landing in England might lead to the Swedes wanting their share of the english pie. Bounces in Eastern Europe? Same old news.
The draw proposals failed, yet the three-way is again on the table. So let's have your votes! The deadline's this coming Thursday, our winter deadline.
Cheers,
Charles
