END of the game PETAIN (BNC number 1989IT)
(GM is ssmith@ms.uky.edu/Scott Smith)

PETAIN

THE WAR IS OVER!

Geneva -- The negotiations to end the war have been completed.  Austria and
Russia have been named as the superpowers which will lead a new Europe.
Three questions remain unresolved:  Will France maintain control of Spain in
the new Europe, or will the Spanish National Front be given the chance to
govern? Will the Italian government-in-exile be allowed to return to the
European continent?  Where will the deposed Sultan of Turkey spend the rest of
his forced retirement?

-----

DRAW PROPOSALS:

The A/E/I/R draw proposal was defeated with (at least) 2 votes against.
The Austrian/Russian draw proposal passed unanimously. Thus, the game is
over.  Austria and Russia share a two-way draw, while England, France,
Germany, and Italy survive.

Congratulations to everyone on a well-played game.

HOHENZOLLERN  (BNC #1990J) Spring 1903

-- Goldilocks struggles against three adversaries: Two French armies on
   English soil, while French fleets control the western seas

-- Belgian administration in German hands

-- Ukrainian defenders in retreat, reinforcements arrive in Livonia,
   southern fleet returns to home port.

-- Turkish fleet lands in northern Greece, as Austrian navy sails into the
   Aegean Sea; Italian bid to take Greece unsuccessful.

-- Berliners move West, and Germany reasserts control over Polish possessions

-- Austrians take second Russian province as Italians troops cross the Brenner
   Pass

-- Turkish fleet in Black Sea, possible siege of Smyrna looms ahead

Here are the results for Spring 1903 (failed moves in parenthesis).
Once again, THANKS to EVERYONE for sending their moves and press in by
the deadline.  This game is getting very lively !

A reminder: if you do not submit retreats, unless I deem the situation to
be too complex, I will arbitrarily assign a retreat [that I think to be
logical].

If players are going to be gone for spring break, please let me know ASAP,
otherwise, Fall 1903 deadline is Thursday March 9 at NOON PST.

A clarification: I will take the last moved received before the deadline.
If I do not receive one or more sets of moves, all received moves stand
as previously indicated, and the missing moves will be added as received.
Therefore, be cautious about post-deadline Diplomacy until you get the
results from me.

Rajeev

[GM's note: for some reason I have not received the Ottoman Herald,
even though the Turkish moves indicated that the Herald had already been
mailed.  However, that esteemed publication has not yet reached here,
so I will send out the results now, and the Herald as soon as it arrives.]

(Moscow) Polish demands for self determination!
The people of Poland were in the streets today, demanding the former
government over Warsaw re-instate itself into power. Reports of violence
in the streets over alleged beatings by Austrian soldiers led to the
protest.

Serbian Daily News
------------------

Lt. Col. Hanz "Dattilshowem" Kickenoffer trained the guns of the Austrian
forces stationed in Serbia away from the Turks.  He decried the Russians'
failure to carry through on their offer of assistance, saying "Hell, they
just were afraid to get into any sort of a scrap.  Look at them.  They see
our boys coming for Warsaw, and what do they do?  Turn around and haul ass.
Look at them.  The only places they've marched into are the places none of
the proper powers in this game have wanted."

Rome Times:
-----------

The Government of Ille Phoenix today issued a statement concerning world
concerns over Italian self-rule. "We are nobodys puppet", was the theme of
the statement and it was warmly recieved in the Austrian Headquarters, where
it was delivered yesterday.

Austria/Hungary Today
---------------------

Field Marshall Max Huffenpuffen the second Hungarian brigade launched
from the hills of Galacia to give chase to the Army that retreated from
Warsaw.  He vowed to "keep on chasing 'em until they have to swim to
whatever's left of their little towelhead buddies."

Meanwhile, the victorious Vienese first infantry stayed cozy and warm
in Warsaw this winter, enjoying the benefits of Polish hospitality.
Soldiers there like the place so much, they've decided to stay there
indefinitely.  One soldier summed it up like this, "Nice place, nice
neighbors, nice sausage.  We're staying."

Le Papier du Republic
---------------------

Scandal rocked the government today when it was announced that the
President had been impersonated by a heretofore unknown insane brother
named Jacques.  M Rougevin had been keeping his deranged brother in a
small closet adjoining the Presidential Office.  When a small puddle of
druel was found seeping from beneath the closet door, a night security
officer discovered Jacques.

The President announced his resignation a few hours after the discovery
and admitted to having kept his brother locked away in the closet since
the election of 1894.  Matters were further complicated when private
sources revealed that Jacques may well have sent any number of high level
documents to various foreign powers, unknown to both his brother and
the Federal Courier Service.  Jacques is apparently M. Rougevin's twin,
and was able to impersonate him successfully on several occasion.  It was
specifically reported that a series of crazed letters had been sent to
the German President, causing the German government great concern.  This
matter is reported to have since been alleviated by quick corrective action
by the President, who took appropriate action shortly before his
resignation.

In other news, the Deputy Prime Minister, M. Avantgarde, was appointed
interim President until elections can be organized.  It is expected that
M. Avantgarde may be in office for an extended period due to the present
state of emergency and military operations in the Atlantic.

Czar Vacations!

Lord Czar Blowfish announced his intentions on doing some camping next week.
"Hey, the weather is nice, and I'll have the time". Since it is spring break
time here in the southwest- diplomacy might be a little spotty, but the
Czar promised to check in every once in a while, just to see how things are
going.
