Pre Game, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter 1901 of BLACK OCTOBER (EP #70) (GM is murphyjoh@urvax.urich.edu/John Murphy) ============================================================================ Blitzkrieg -- Winter 1918 ============================================================================ I think that, in the interest of honesty, the government ought to pass a law requiring companies to use regular Earth people in their commercials. Here's how they would behave: COMMERCIAL FOR WISK (Two men are talking at a party, as their wives listen.) First Man: I'm feeling really wrung out lately. Second Man (jeeringly): That's because you've got ring around the collar. Ha ha. (The first man shakes his head sadly, then walks off.) Second Man: What's with him? Second Man's Wife: His mother just died, you idiot. -- Dave Barry, "Subtracting the Ads" *************** England: Build A LON Russia: Build A MOS *************** Supply Centers: Total/(Units Owned)/Status Austria: BUD, VIE, TRI, GRE, SER, BUL, CON, 13 (13) VEN, RUM, ANK, NAP, ROM, WAR England: LON, LVP, EDI, NWY, STP, DEN, BRE, 17 (17) POR, SPA, PAR, TUN, MAR, BEL, SWE KIE, HOL, BER France: 0 (0) Germany: 0 (0) Italy: 0 (0) Russia: SEV, SMY, MOS, MUN 4 (4) Turkey: 0 (0) *************** Unit Positions -- Winter 1918: Austria: F ION, F AEG, A SIL, A PRU, A TRI, A VEN, A WAR, A VIE, A TYR, F NAP, A BOH, F ROM, F ADR England: A STP, A BUR, F KIE, F TUN, F GOL, F PIE, F TYS, F WME, F BAL, F NAF, F BAR, A HOL, A RUH, F BER, F NTS, A DEN A LON Germany: Russia: A MOS, A MUN, A LIV *************** GM Notes: Hey!

I have replaced him for this move with someone from here and have asked Eric Klien for a replacement. If you ever plan to stop playing or are going for a vacation, pleeeeeease notify me in advance so that I can get a replacement. On the positive side we don't need a summer phase this year, so you can plunge into the action of fall 1902 right away. Have fun.
