But the unit positions still places Italy's army in Piedmont. This should, of course, be Ven, and I have corrected it in the Winter results (below) (thanks to Jim for pointing this out). I also got a note from Russia with his new network address. From now on all mail should be adressed to lydick@freezer.it.udel.edu. Since we have finished 1904 in time (just before the Christmas vacation) I hereby declare this game on hold till January 20 (Rick will be gone until about January 18). I will send you an acknowledgement and set a new deadline in the second week of January. For now: a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!

Please don't take advantage of technical difficulties. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vienna, EMPEROR CHAD CLAIMS BAVARIAN SKI RESORT In a furious speech Emperor Chad of Austria-Hungary has claimed his rights on the Bavarian ski resort of Huegelab. In the nineteenth century this ski resort belonged to Emperor Chad's great grand mother baroness Teutonia von Sixpilsen and who was cheated out of it, after a flamboyant and scandalous affair with O. von Bismarck (in his younger days). It is uncertain how the latest claim by Emperor Chad will influence German Austrian relations. Latest reports from the Bavarian border area indicate that German-Austrian ski-traffic went down significantly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note the moves that failed.

Press that will arive with no city-of-origion will be posted from the country's capital, or from 'Sources in Europe' if it is gray. As you all remember THERE IS NO BLACK PRESS. (Sources in Europe): A toast to the Czar, His ability to make deals with every Great Power in Europe is amazing... Press (Rome): Due to the outlook that there might be war, us who are very parinoid will begin maneuvers that will better prepare ourselves for this possibility. Berlin:Germany signs and honors non-agression pacts with all major powers. But this should not be seen as a sign of weakness... Germany is a proud nation, fully prepared to defend her borders against all attackers. German diplomats stand ready to help resolve the conflicts hitting every corner of the map, from Belgium to Rumania, from Sweden to Spain. Let 1901 be the year of lasting peace. Especially in Burgandy, Tyrolia, and Silesia! (Austro-Hungrarian department in French foriegn office): Austria-Hungary is one of France's most natural allies and yet we have yet to talk in the game.

Summer '01 of the game TIBERIUS (EP #83) (GM is mar21aa@technion.bitnet/Nathan Srebro) Although there were no orders for this season, here is some press received: PRAVDA : FOREIGN AFFAIRS TURKISH DELEGATION RECEIVES WARM WELCOME. Moscow - St. Petersburg. Thousands of people went out to welcome the Turkish delegation today. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' spokesman Count Alexei Turkistanovitch stated that the current understanding is an accomplishment worth celebrating. The Count received the medal of St. Joris from the Czar for his efforts in realizing the state of affairs with Turkey. The Count was also granted special audience with both His Imperial Majesty the Czar and his gemalin, Her Imperial Majesty Elizabeth. We have yet to be informed about the purpose of the ausdience. Colonel Vladimir Polishnikov, head of the Czar Secret Service was reported in Vienna, last week by one of our correspondents. As expected, the Colonel was spotted in various lewed establishments. When confronted with this, the Colonel stated "I am here on private business. Piss off!" Sources within the palace, however, have revealed that the Czar had sent his Chief Intelligence Officer to Vienna in light of the troop movements for the Imperial forces. NATIONAL: The Ministry of Finance has proposed a tax increase on women's underwear. The motivation for this tax increase was formulated by Sasha Pervertikov, spokes- man for the Ministry of Fianance: "The Imperial Treasury requires additional funds to finance the upcomming campaigns. It is the conviction of the Ministry of Finance that Russian women wear too many things. They could do without underwear for a change and those resources can be used for battle clothing." It should be noted that S. Petrikov has often referred to his wife as being as warm as Siberia when it comes to the bedroom.

PRAVDA, St. Petersburg - DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS DISTURBED, TURKEY OUT? Members of the Turkish delegation were arrested today by the Czar's Secret Service. Colonel Vladimir Polishnikov refused to make any statements. However, sources within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have stated that "... the relationship between the Czar and the Sultan has deteriorated. We fear this incident may very well result in the recall of our ambassador in Constanti- nopel." Rumor has it that, during a routine check of the chambers of the Turkish delegation by the St. Petersburg Vice-Squad, top secret documents regarding military troop movements as well as the blue prints for the latest warship were found in hidden compartments of the suitcases. The Turkish Ambassador, Hami El Khassan, accused Colonel Vladimir Polishnikov of "setting-up" the Turkish delegation. According to the ambassador, the colonel's pursuing his private interests, e.g. his stockholdings in an Viennese bank and his Austrian mistress, and doesn't hesitate to jeopardize the Turkish- Russian relations. Related to the diplomatic incident was the arrest of naval Captain Constantin Shiatsky. The captain was alledgedly recruted by the "Grey Wolves", the Turkish Secret Service in 1892, during a visit to "Madam Fatma's House of Entertainment in Constantinopel. The captain is expected to be executed within a week. Count Alexei Turkistanovitch was not available for any comment. Friends and relatives have stated that the Count is deeply shocked by the recent develop- ments. He is expected to ask Her Imperial Majesty Elizabeth for direct inter- vention in an effort to restore the Russian-Turkish relations. Speculation about a possible shift in alliances does exist within the Ministry of foreign Affairs but no one dares to make a statement.
