Friends,
The continent shudders as massive forces crashed together in both the east and west, but less-so in the middle. Prussia kept her virtue intact with an enormous defense of Posen, while the French overwhelmed the Spanish and walked into former Prussian lands. Our draws both failed and, with no new votes proposed this turn, we proceed to the fall. Could it mark a fond farewell to this game and the glorious elevation of King Louis XV? Find out in about 167 hours!
There was only one retreat: Spanish A Gascony can retreat to Leon or OTB. Warren, I've taken the retreat to Leon for expediency, but if you prefer OTB just announce that to the mailing list and I will send new maps.
Happy hunting!
Dirk
