PREV Spring 1914 Adjudication: NEXT

Deja vu! Don't stop me if you've heard this before. An army from Berlin attacks and destroys an opposing army in Munich.

Guess what? They're wearing fezzes again in the beer gardens.

But wait. Do secular Arabs drink beer? Are Turks Arabs? Seems we've found a hole in my education. Hmmm, have to look that up later. Meanwhile, back at the Double Stab Ranch....

So it's England's turn to have an army go "Poof!" and disappear. Can he get it back or complete the popular Munich-Berlin swap? He'd better figure something out or it's all over. If only we could see into Berlin and Prussia! But no, they're blacked out this turn, adding an extra element of uncertainty. Nothing we interested spectators can do but wait and see.

RETREATS: None required.

NEXT DEADLINE: Officially, it's Tuesday, August 10, at 8 pm Eastern US time. I have a feeling, though, that our players aren't going to want to wait that long. I'll be able to adjudicate just as soon as I have two sets of orders marked Final.

Cheers,
Chris
