DC191 Study In Baltic - Spring 1911 - The Solitary Cyclist
Keep on banging your head against the wall ... And eventually you DO make a dent. (Although whether the dent is in the wall or in your forehead is the question...)
In this instance, Finland puts a pretty solid dent in Poland's forehead. With an audacious convoy, the Finnish reserve regiment gets some front-line experience in Konigsberg - driving the Poles from their bunks in surprise. Danzig was the only safe harbour for the Polish fleet, so I took the liberty. (Lee, if OTB is preferred then please just let me know.)
If the Finnish manage to hold their ground through the Fall turn, our DIAS clock resets back to zero. Which seems to be all right as the latest draw proposal, the 3-way, again goes down in defeat...
Deadline for Fall 1911 orders will be set for Monday, December 8th (11:59 PM GMT). No draw proposals were submitted this turn, but I did have a request to examine speedier deadlines. Since its Christmas, I figure why not - if you guys agree. Let me know if you want me to switch to deadlines of three or four days instead of the week-long ones we have right now. Also, if I receive all four sets of orders marked 'FINAL', then I will adjudicate early.
Cheers everyone!
