GM NOTES
I finally found the time to post these.  I hope they are correctly
executed.

PRESS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
London (UPI) - The Queen has vehemently denied any reports of Austrian
help in the quelching of the uprising.  In a public announcement she
has revealed that the assistance came from the remaining soldiers from
the Turkish army.  They were given safe passage to England at the time
when Moscow was still under English control, trained and formed into
an elite unit that has fought off the invaders.  Next week she will go
on a tour of the army and personally decorate the gallant soldiers.
It is reported that Lord Smedley's ex-secretary will accompany her on
the trip to give the soldiers her own awards.  The appointment of Kyle
McTavish was defeated when it was learned that some of his relatives
on the mother's side were of Austrian decent.  Instead Sir Arthur was
made the Admiral of the Royal Navy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buckingham Palace (BBC) - The queen held another press conference
today and has released the following communicado: "Dear President of
France, I understand that the forces that attacked our islands were
insurgents and you were not responsible for their actions.  I
appreciate the fact that you finally convinced them to surrender, and
believe that you still might be able to help us conquer the evil
Austrians.  I strongly recommend that your attention be turned
southeastward so that we can become friends once again.  As you can
see, Austria is very close to controlling the world and I feel it is
the duty of our two great nations to try to free it from the despotic
rule.  Furthermore, in order to keep any more insurgents that might
come up, I will be forced to keep a fleet in the English Channel from
now on, which will be used to cut off any rebellion at the start.

GM NOTES
This was an interesting turn.  To start with the easy hard judgements,
the move Tys - Tun fails to cut the support against it.  Ion - Tys
goes through.  Secondly, for the same reasons, Sil - War fails to cut
the support for Boh - Sil, and so despite the fact that its attack was
supported half a dozen times, it still is displaced.  Furthermore,
England didn't submit any retreats, so the unit is disbanded.
Finally, Austria forgot how wide the Adriatic Sea is, and ordered the
Fifth Army to swim over to Italy.  Meanwhile, the fleet was busy
watching the parades as the Third Army marched into Venice.  Lord
Smedley was executed for less!  It is rumored that the soldiers are
becoming bored with the war, and that this is the reason for the
sudden rise in errors.

PRESS
Austria scores brilliant military victories in both the North and the South!
French fleets converge on Tunis!
English fleets prepare to enter Brest (oops... I wasn't supposed to let on
about that one, was I?  ;-)

GM NOTES
One of the players has to leave for a couple of weeks in a week or so.
He has proposed a 3-way draw.  I am open to any suggestions.  There is
also another proposal for an Austrian/English draw.

London (BBC) - The Prime Minister has announced that the new naval
maneuvers are done in order to help the French protect the Iberian
peninsula and probably help them retake Italy.  If there is any way
that the fleets can be of service, he would like the President to let
him know.  There is absolutely no intention to invade any territory
rightfully occupied by the French.

GM NOTES

Congratulations to all on a well-played game.  Austria has requested
that we continue the game until the end of the week, just to see how
it turns out for him.  He thinks he can take the necessary extra 2
centers, though personally I don't see how.  He gets Marseilles, and
loses Smyrna and Ankara in the next year, while England takes Portugal
or Spain, and maybe Brest (purely for safekeeping....  :-)  However,
I am very busy this week and so would rather not spend the time to
execute moves for a concluded game (this one was already done).  Feel
free to arrange something among yourselves.  The players and countries
are below.  (If you have trouble contacting somebody you would like to,
