Thanks to Germany for pointing out that I was mistaken in listing TUN as both an English and Italian supply center, thus England is down 2 this year and not one. Also, WAR was missing in the supply center list for Germany, so he is up 3. These changes are reflected in the new supply center listing. Note that I have received England's retreat order, and he has decided to retreat A SEV-ARM. I decided to tell everyone this since you are all supposed to know before builds phase anyway. This way, we won't have to fool around with conditional builds. OPERATION OVERLORD: Winter 1906 (BNC 1989HM) (GMed by Davisje@crd.ge.com/Jon Davis) The Russian Fleet Black Sea was inadvertantly left off of the positions list. Please revise your maps accordingly. Thanks. A proposal for an English-French draw has been made. Send in your votes! Retreats: Italian Fleet Apulia must retreat and is disbanded. Russian Fleet Barents Sea must retreat and is disbanded. Russian Army Munich retreats to Bohemia. Adjustments: England: Build A Lon France: Build A Par, F Bre, F Mar Italy: Disband F Nap Russia: Disband F StP(nc) ======================== Europa Today =============================== "The commander of the Italian fleet currently sailing in the Mid-Atlantic Ocean is apparently crazed with vengence after the slime in charge of France destroyed two-thirds of the Italian fleet.

Boyce)) GM Note: An error in the Spring 1904 results has been corrected. Instead of reading Russia's order A Ankara - Smyrna as A Armenia Holds (because he has no unit in Ankara and he forgot to order Armenia), the order should have been read as A Armenia - Smyrna. This is according to Eric's house rules. Thus we have Austria-Hungary [A Ankara (i.e. Armenia) - Smyrna] STAND-OFF Turkey [A Constantinople - Smyrna] STAND-OFF [F Aagean Sea - Constantinople] STAND-OFF (retreats to EAST MED.) Sorry for the mixup. I should have read the house rules more closely. Fall 1904 Orders: Austria-Hungary A Bohemia S (Germany) A Ruhr - Munich A Budapest S (Austria) A Serbia - Rumania A Bulgaria S (Austria) A Serbia - Rumania A Serbia - Rumania A Trieste - Vienna [F Greece - Ionian Sea] STAND-OFF The Austrian High Command, after several intercepts of Italio-Russo communications has come to the conclusion that Austria was about to be invaded by Italian and Russian forces. Thus, in defense, we have been forced to strike first. In conjuction with German and Turkish forces, Austria has stuck at the heary of its true enemies. Besides, we always had a craving for Italian wine with borsch. In any case, as someone so well put it: Sorry but greed *is* the name of the game. They just call it diplomacy. Duke Jurgenson -- Ambassador of Austria England A Yorkshire Holds F Edinburgh Holds France A Burgandy S (France) A Picardy - Belgium A Picardy - Belgium A Spain Holds F English Channel S (France) F Wales - London F Irish Sea - Liverpool F Wales - London In Liverpool, consternation reigns after the departure of the President and his ship. The city fathers apparently prefer the benevolent rule of the French to the despotic and cruel administration in London. In deference to these wishes, the President has ordered the pride of the French Navy, the Titanic II, to Liverpool. Germany A Kiel - Berlin [A Ruhr - Munich] STAND-OFF [F Skagerrak - Sweden] INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT F Helgoland Bight S (German) F North Sea - Denmark F North Sea - Denmark Italy A Munich Holds A Tyrolia - Piedmont [F Aegean Sea - Ionian Sea] STAND-OFF F Tyrrhenian Sea - Gulf of Lyon F Western Mediterranean - Mid-Atlantic Ocean Russia A Armenia - Ankara A Norway S (Russia) Sweden Holds [A Rumania Holds] DISLODGED A Silesia S (Italy) Munich Holds [A Sweden S (Russia) Norway Holds] SUPPORT CUT F Black Sea S (Russia) A Armenia - Ankara F Denmark - Kiel Turkey [A Constantinople - Ankara] INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT [F Eastern Mediterranean - Aegean Sea] STAND-OFF F Syria - Smyrna W04 Supply Centers: AUSTRIA : +1 [7] (Vienna, Trieste, Budapest, Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, +Rumania) ENGLAND : -1 [1] (-London, Edinburgh) FRANCE : +2 [8] (Paris, Brest, Marsailles, Spain, Portugal, Liverpool, +London, +Belgium) GERMANY : -2 [3] (-Kiel, Berlin, Denmark, Holland, -Belgium) ITALY : +0 [5] (Venice, Rome, Naples, Tunis, Munich) RUSSIA : +1 [8] (St. Petersburg, Moscow, Warsaw, Sevastapol, -Rumania, Sweden, Norway, +Ankara, +Kiel) TURKEY : -1 [2] (Smyrna, -Ankara, Constantinople) England, Turkey must disband one unit, Germany two. Russia must retreat (or disband) Rumania and gets one build along with Austria, France gets two builds. Please send retreat/disband/build orders as soon as possible. Thanks. Let me know if you see any errors! George Winter 1904 for Gettysburg Let me know if you see any errors (other than in judgement) below... Retreats: Russia A Rumania - Ukraine Disbands: England Yorkshire Germany Disband F Ska & F Den Turkey F EME Builds: Austria A Vienna France Build Army in Marseilles; Build Fleet in Brest; In London today, due to an almost entirely unexpected anachronism, the President found himself accepting England's surrender from King Henry VIII. At the formal handing-over ceremony, the outgoing King said "Its a terrible thing when the only people in the British Isles holding out against these flea bitten French are the flea bitten Jacobites". The president laughed appreciatively at this fine example of English humour, and ordered the King beheaded.
