Remember? You'd slice your frog up with a razor and root around inside, looking for the heart and the kidney and the other frog organs that were clearly drawn in several colors in the biology textbook, until evetually you realized that you must have been issued a defective frog, because all you could ever find inside was frog glop. So you just poked at the glop for a while and then drew the heart, etc., from the biology textbook. This taught you about life. When I was in school, I also had to do a worm, although I'm not suggesting that all of today's students should have to do worms. Maybe just the really disruptive ones. -- Dave Barry, "Basic Frog Glop" *************** Austria (Tom Goodwin)......A Bul-Con, F Aeg S A Bul-Con, A Gre-Bul, A Tri-Tyr, A Vie-Boh, A Bud-Gal, A Rum H England (Bruce Beutel).....A Lon H, F Nwg-NtS, A Hol-Kie, F Kie-Ber, A Ruh S A Hol-Kie, F Den-Bal, (A Nwy-StP), F Swe S F Den-Bal, F StP(sc)-GoB France (Brad Gillette).....A Mun S Eng F Kie-Ber, A Bur-Mar, A Bel-Bur, F Bre-MAO, F Mar-GoL, A Tus S F TyS-Rom, F TyS-Rom Italy (Stewart Winter).....(A Ven-Rom), (F Nap-Rom), F Tun-TyS, F EMe-Ion, A Smy S Aus A Bul-Con Russia (Ted Fischer).......*[F Bal S A Ber]*, *A Ber H*, A War-Liv, A Mos-StP Turkey (Mattias Olofsson)..*[F Con S A Ank]*, A Ank S F Con Notes: () indicate bounced moves.

As a couple of players (including Russia) were kind enough to point out, the Russian fleet in the Baltic can retreat to Pru while Russian A Ber retreats to Sil, which is what Russia elected to do. Sorry for the confusion this may have caused.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH| Another player dropped out due to personal problems. Hey, am I so bad as a gamemaster? The missing player caused this move to be late, and might cause the next to be also. I hate it. We don't have a Summer move this year, as there are no retreats.
