Well, well, well. It seems we have a new lead rider. Monsignor Nigs, if you would be so kind to pass the yellow jersey to Sultan Tony, who has passed you on the climbing stage to assume the top spot in our peloton. Are you tired, or just about to gain your second wind? We'll find out when the race resumes next week. There is are still miles and miles to go to reach our finish line.
Headlines:
* The British Isles are looking more and more like Epcot Center every day. You knew about the Russians in Liverpool and the French in Yorkshire. Well, say "Hello" to the Italian troops who just disembarked in Clyde! As astonishing as that is, I find myself fixated on just one small question. What in the world are Italians going to eat in Scotland?
* France, having helped the carry the Italians to the moors, celebrates by reoccupying Marseilles.
* The Kaiser has gone on holiday. Again. Forgot to tell his admirals and his generals he was going. Oops! Well, he didn't really like Kiel all that much, anyway. Lots of smelly old factories and such. Things are much nicer in Holland.
* Russia loses Moscow to the Ottoman swarms, but finds the loss is easier to take when he is able to walk into the biergartens of Munchen!
And that's the way it went in Fall 1907, in the land of Europe. Entertaining as always. At least, it is from out here. Hope it's just as much fun on the ground!
RETREATS: German A Kiel is auto-retreated to Holland.
ADJUSTMENTS: See table below for counts.
* Germany and Italy must remove 1 unit.
* Russia and Turkey are building 1 unit.
NEXT DEADLINE: Winter adjustments are due by 18:00 EDT tomorrow, Friday, May 13.
Cheers,
Chris
