Vote on it; vote must be unanimous. If the motion fails, the next deadline will be Sun, Feb. 4. Fall 1909 of game BLITZKRIEG (BNC 1989HL) (GM is dougi@astro.as.utexas.edu/ Doug Ingram) Hi, Sorry I forgot to cc these results to you. These are the only recent results as the game has been on hiatus since mid-December due to various people involved having vacations. We're back to a normal schedule now, though.

German A MOS may disband or retreat to LIV. As usual, builds will be based on the disband orders. If you can manage it, could you please all get your Winter orders in by tomorrow night? If you need to have more time, feel free to ask for an extension. I need orders only from Austria, England, and Germany. Italy is forced to disband his last unit and thus leaves the game. Thanks very much, Italy, for fighting to the end and making this a more enjoyable game. *************** Press: London, October 14, 1909 (Reuter's) With the collapse of Anglo-German naval talks in the Hague, in part precipitated by the hostile tone of the interview with Kaiser Tom printed in the _Daily Telegraph_, relations between England and Germany have reached a point of unrelenting tension. The Foreign Secretary announced to-day that German army units were attempting to accumulate barges in the Low Countries and Denmark in preparation for an invasion of "this sceptred isle." In preparation for the inevitable conflict, leave for all units of the Royal Navy was cancelled, and the Naval Task Forces in the Mediterranean and Barents Seas were instructed to prepare to detach squadrons for use in the North Sea and Channel areas. Uncertainty over relations with Austria and Turkey have led naval planners to keep sizeable forces in the central Mediterranean area. Renegade units of the Italian Navy have found new bases in Tripoli, raising a spectre of a "New Barbary Coast." "The recent seizure of Marseilles and Sweden, in violation of previous agreements between the Kaiser and the ailing Edward VII, demonstrate for all who care to see the attempts of the militaristic clique in Potsdam to obtain control of the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, and thus shut legitimate British commercial interests out of the markets they so richly deserve. This is nonsense up with which we will not put!" said apoplectic Foreign Secretary Joseph Chamberlain.
