Hi Players,
Well, just when you think you know what's going to happen, we have a turn like this. Welcome to lucky Year 13!
I thought I was going to be announcing the first elimination of the game. I thought England was a goner. I thought wrong.
Germany NMR's for the second (or is third?) time, and instead of being eliminated, England actually grows back up to two units! I guess the Kaiser is just uncomfortable with success. I don't know what else to say.
Other highlights of the year include
. Italy and France swap dots. Brest returns to the French, but Marseilles falls to the Italians. How about that French army in Piedmont? That could prove interesting.
. The apathetic German fleet holds on to MAO, thanks to support from his French friends. Can he count on that support again?
. Austria forces his way into the Ukraine, leaving Rumania open behind him, while Russia focuses on covering his dots. I predict another round of guessing games on that front next year.
. The Sultan continues his favorite sport: Smyrna Bouncing! I wonder if one of these days the Italian fleet might not just duck?
RETREATS: None.
ADJUSTMENTS: Germany must remove 1. England may build 1. Everybody else is doing the status quo thing.
DEADLINE: Adjustment orders are due by Friday, November 5, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time. If I get them in tomorrow I'll adjudicate early. If I fail to receive an adjustment from Germany then the unit furthest from home is automatically disbanded.
Germany is now officially on probation. I need to see orders for Spring 1914 well in advance or I will seek a replacement.
Cheers,
Chris
Orders as resolved. Read 'em and weep... or laugh, if that suits you better.
