Hi Players,
Twelve years gone, seven countries still standing. Kudos to all, especially our witches, who are still fighting the good fight down to their very last units.
Highlights:
. Army Ankara moves! Or tries to, anyway. Too bad for the Sultan he guessed wrong. Heads instead of tails and he would have recaptured Constantinople and we would see a Turkish build this turn. That would have been something, wouldn't it?
. Army Liverpool moves! Or tries to, anyway. A good guess for the K of E, as he bounces the French fleet out of Wales. Wales for the Welsh! Hurrah, The King!
. The mighty German Reich is looming most menacingly over the British Isles and, dare we mention, most of France. Progress is made on the eastern front, as well, as the Archduke, distracted by the annoying Russian army in Galicia, fails to protect his position in Bohemia and thus loses it to the Kaiser's forces.
. A mixed turn for Austria-Hungary, to be sure. Venice held, Bohemia lost, Rumania regained, and Bulgaria lost. At least the latter fell to a friend. The army lost can be reformed. Not bad, in the balance.
. Italy maintains his steady upward climb with the accidental (?) addition of Bulgaria. In the west, he chooses not to defend Brest, and is rewarded when neither Germany or France makes an attempt on it. Life is not perfect for the Italians, though. The gain of Spain is plainly in his brain. Unfortunately, it's not in the moves.
RETREATS:
Russian A Rumania can retreat to Ukraine or Sevastopol or off the board.
Austrian army Bohemia is dislodged and has no valid retreats. Unit is disbanded.
ADJUSTMENTS:
Italy & Austria are building. Russia is removing. See below for all the details.
DEADLINES:
The Russian retreat is due ASAP, please. If not received by Thursday night at 8 p.m. Eastern US time, the unit will be disbanded.
Winter Adjustments are officially due Friday night at 8 p.m., but if you can get them in earlier you would be doing me a favor. I have houseguests arriving Friday night, so I'd like to put out both the retreats and adjustments tomorrow. I'm hoping Austria and Italy can make their decisions without knowing where the Russian army is going.
Cheers,
Chris
