Hi Players,
12 years gone and could be another 12 years to go. I'm not sure what you're going for, and judging by the EGP and corresponding votes, neither are you. All four votes fail, miserably. No new proposals are offered. On the one hand I would suspect that some of you are losing interest. On the other hand, you're not losing it to the degree that you're willing to work on building a consensus for the end game.
Is it the calm before the storm, or are we becalmed in the doldrums?
We do have press. I think its author would admit it is rather desultory compared to the earlier splendid efforts we've seen, but at least it shows a little bit of snarky life still exists out there.
PRESS # 1
Tony & Nigs, sparing over Tri
P-L-O-T-I-N-G
First its green, but next it will be yellow
Are Joe and Nigs throwing a Turkish solo?
HIGHLIGHTS
* England continues to creep up in the standings, adding Brest to his stock and earning a new build.
* Turkey sort of loses track of those central European provinces (Don't we all?) but no harm is done and, in fact, he still succeeds in destroying the White army that worked so hard to get to Livonia.
* Russia doesn't lose a dot, but has no place to build a replacement for the lost army, so he'll have to skate short-handed.
* The French army settles comfortably in Paris. Will it find reason to ever leave again?
* Germany likewise decides a return to his capital is in order. Oh, this is all working out so neatly.
* I still don't know what the Russian fleet in Gulf of Lyon is up to. Could be the admirals are equally confused, too. The fleet steams in circles.
* There are 10 fleets in the Med area.
* And Trieste... is still green!?
RETREATS
Italian fleet Brest has only one retreat, to Gascony, so it is made automatically. We won't worry about the OTB option because...
ADJUSTMENTS (See table below for complete ownership and adjustment figures)
Italy removes 1.
England builds 1.
Thanks to the retreat OTB of F Albania in the Spring, Turkey builds 1, too.
NEXT DEADLINE: Winter adjustments are due tomorrow, Friday, June 17, by 18:00. Small but finite chance I'm going out, so if you get them in earlier I might be able to turn it around quickly.
Cheers,
Chris
