That damned Wekx! He stabbed me! That f*cking Assh*le!

Sevastopol: The Tsar, in his new summer capital, was outraged at the unprovoked
attack on Russian holdings in Venice. "That damned Turk! Its bad enough we have
to fight the Anglo pigs and the Prussian pretenders! Now the Arabic slime too."
He recalled his daughter from Ankara, she was to sail on the next Turkish
trawler. He then asked for aid from the German and English to help repel the
slimish Turks.

Interesting game...

13 times (* bounce *)
12 supports of which 3 cut and 1 NSO
3 succesful movements of which 1 relevant
4 units hold
makes 32 units on the board

I'm impressed

Oh, and surprisingly I've got another 4-way draw. Don't think it's necessary
to mention the involved powers, is it?

AUSTRIA COLLAPSES!
         THE BOILERMAKER EMPEROR GOES PER-DOO-DOO!

By Jacob "Flakey Jake" Flakeman
                New York Times Paris Bureau

In capitals all over Europe, Italian, Russian, and Turkish
diplomats met and celebrated the conquest of Austria.  The
Italians and Russians, in mock tribute to Boilermaker
Emperor Bryan, drank shots of whiskey followed by steins of
the best Bohemian beer.  The Turkish ambassadors abstained
from alcohol, instead drinking Viennese coffee.  Later, the
Russians and Italians excused themselves to their empassies'
WC's, leaving the Turks to say:  "The boilermakers made them
go per-doo-doo.  Those infidels will never learn that drink
is bad for them!"

Reaction in Paris to the dismemberment of the Empire of the
Hapsburgs was exemplified by the announcement given by
Presidential Secretary Ewe Michelin:  "President Lamb
regrets that France's sincere offers of assistance to
Austria were ignored.  He had hoped that Emperor Bryan would
have enough insight to recognize a fighting chance when it
was presented to him and enough desire for survival to sieze
the opportunity.  He is disgusted by the fatalism and
despair demonstrated by the Boilermaker Emperor and has
withdrawn the French Ambassador from Vienna before the
Russians march into the city.  The President wishes the
Russians and Italians good luck in administering Austria-
Hungary and is confident of their competent handling of the
conquered territories' affairs."

As he disembarked from the Orient Express, the recalled
French ambassador to Austria commented to the reporters
waiting for him at the Paris station:  "The emperor never
even saw me.  I came to court *three* times to present my
credentials and he would not allow me to enter.  We had a
plan to save him and he wouldn't even hear of it!  Such an
insufferably rude and foolish man - I hope the Russians turn
him into Vienna sausage!"  He then departed in a huff to
consult with the President.

On the Left Bank, the queen of the fortune tellers predicted
that, should their reincarnations ever meet, the French
President and Austrian Emperor would be antagonists for
eternity.  "May Providence forbit such an occurence!" She
exclaimed.

The planned article, "WILL THE NEW RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR GO ICE
FISHING IN THE SEINE THIS WINTER?" has been canceled, as the
new Tsar of the Three Russias has the good sense to fish in
the waters of the Baltic and Germany and does not deserve to
be painted with the brush intended for Tsar David.

for some reason, germany object to my trying to retreat his unit in

  was in munich retreat to berlin. this is in addition to the austrian

squalane corrections.   -dave

squalane  spring 1905

this is a corrected version. there was an error in the adjudication
  problem concerning the english attack on kiel. basically, i ignored
  the support from denmark. therefore, the attack worked and the german
  army was destroyed.

i have had several requests to extend the deadline until wednesday. since
so many people requested this, i will agree. however, do not expect to see
the results until late thursday as i will be out of the office most of
tomorrow.

Moscow.  December 12, 1905.

In violation of all protocols, treaties and agreements, the nation of
England has treacherously engaged in an overt act of armed aggression
against the soverign territories of the Russian Empire.  Thus, by Imperial
Decree, the armed forces of the Russian Empire are ordered to engage the
English troops and the forces of any other nation which so deigns to help
the English aggressors in mortal battle and to inflict death and
destruction upon the said troops im order to preserve the integrity of the
Russian lands.

We also do call upon all allies and supporters to engage the treacherous
English and to cause them defeat and eventual destruction.

In the name of the one True Soverign,
The Tsar of Russia

so that you are aware of the situation.  -dave

there was an error in the listing for winter positions. the turkish
fleet eastern med should really be fleet ionian sea. sorry for the error.

also, there has been a proposal for an E/F/R/T draw. please vote on this
with your next moves.

paul fu will be on vacation from 10-28 august. would the other players
prefer to have him replaced, or to hold up the game.

in a similar vein, i may also be leaving the game in late august. i have
been offered two different jobs this past week, both involving a 50% pay
increase. one will not involve any change for the game as it is still at
the univeristy, but the other is in private industry. with the budget
crisis in the state of virginia, i am leaning towards the industry job.
this will entail my loosing my current account, and i do not have a modem
at home yet. so you would be cast into the wind. i am sorry. i have
enjoyed e-mail gaming, and intend on getting back into it as soon as possible.
