Some big developments this season as Germany sends units east for the first time, Ukraine's final unit is knocked off the board, and Egypt pushes further into Italy.
The proposal for the Polish solo was the closest so far to passing but still fails by a vote of 6 yes, 1 no, and 1 abstention.
There is one retreat: Italian A Ven may retreat to Cro, Tus, or OTB. That retreat and any Summer 2001 press will be due this Wednesday, November 17, at 9 pm eastern.
There is also a new proposal for a 5-way draw between Egypt, France, Germany, Poland, and Turkey. Votes for this proposal will be due with Fall 2001 orders but may be submitted with Summer retreats/press.

Press #1:
Egypt to Turkey: Kept true to my press and disengaged. In Diplomacy, actions count louder than words. I'd like to make Emed a DMZ. Can you agree to that? Also, now that I've moved the fleet from Syria, can you support A Jor - Irk? After that, hello Iran!!
Press #2:
Egypt to Turkey: Dude, we've got to get on this. If I don't see help this turn, I'm going back to the picnic.
Press #3:
To Poland: My great Poland friend, it is a long way we have sticked with our alliance. You have done well in taking Russia and Ukraine. But what next? You built so many armies along our borders. Their destination is either Turkey or Germany. Neither side has troop to stop you. If you take either one of us, you will have solo for sure. It seems I have no choice but to turn my attention to East for defensive purpose. Goodbye my friend.
To France: You have fought well. Ok, finally I am moving away, just because to avoid Poland solo. If by chance you enter one of my SC, please leave in Fall. I don't know how long I can hold. But if you try to take one of my SC, I will let Poland to get solo.
Also, if you wish, please help my army to take London. I need more armies to stand against Poland.
To Turkey: I understand Turkey is in a very difficult position in against Poland. You have Poland in front and Egypt from behind. I understand that Turkey had been stick with Poland for long. The fact is, Poland will attack either of us this round. Even if you keep moving South, Poland will take your land one by one. So, please join me. At least we can stop Poland's expansion
To Egypt: I know Turkey had been ally of Poland for long. With Ukraine's fall, Poland will take either Germany and Turkey. If Egypt keep fighting with Turkey, Turkey will definitely hold with Poland. But this would only give chance for Poland to expand towards Turkey. So please, help Turkey defence against Poland.

Press #5:
Spain to England: Your nmrs are killing our chances. Please do something useful with at least one of those fleets.
Press #6:
France to her Allies: I hope you've all made up. If Venice fell, can it support me into Austria in the Fall? That's not valid if I lost Switzerland. Spain, I should have told you to move to Paris; my mistake. If he took Paris, then please support my A Alsace/Picardy - Paris in the fall.
France to her Enemies: You guys haven't beaten a power who was fighting back yet. You don't have the right to solo until you've actually fought a man.
France to England: Do you need my fleet's support in the Fall? I hope you are in MAO now!
