OPERATION OVERLORD: Fall and Winter 1907 (BNC 1989HM) (GMed by Davisje@crd.ge.com/Jon Davis) WAR RAGES IN RUSSIA! ENGLISH ADVANCE INTO WARSAW! FRANCE SUFFERS LOSS OF ARMY ON THE ITALIAN PENNISULA. JOINT RUSSIAN-TURK ALLIANCE GAINS GROUND IN ITALY. ITALY ADVANCES INTO PORTUGAL, BUT BECOMES SURROUNDED BY FRENCH FLEETS. ITALY'S FATE IS IN FRENCH HANDS. *** Address Change *** Address change for Mike: (France) Old address: sccs6069@iruccibm.bitnet New address: sccs6069@iruccvax.bitnet *** GM Change *** Beginning in the Spring of 1908, Operation Overlord will have a new GM. His name is Richard Kirby and his address is as follows: rbk%aiai.edinburgh.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk Due to time constraints, I cannot commit to continuing the Operation Overlord game.

Italian Fleet is taking a much needed vacation on the beautiful shores of Portugal. When asked for a comment, the fleet could only thank the French for the oppurtunity to visit the sites in this gorgeous province. Perhaps the veteran soldiers from the soon to retire units of the French might care to join the rowdy Italians on this vacation jaunt. ===================================================================== Retreats: French Army Tuscany must retreat and is disbanded. ___________________________________________ OPERATION OVERLORD Fall 1907 Unit Positions ------------------------------------------- England (Litvin) F StP(nc) F Nwg F GoB F Bal F Kie F Nth A Den A War A Mos F Lvp F Lon France (M O'Regan) F Tun F Tyr A Bur F MAt F Spa(sc) A Mar A Ruh Italy (Ames) F Por Russia (Ingram) A Pie A Tyl A Gal A Sil A Mun A Rum F Sev Turkey (Richards) A Tus F Adr A Apu F Nap F Alb F Ion F Aeg _______________________ Supply Center Ownership ----------------------- '00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 Supply Centers Austria/Hungary 3 5 3 0 0 0 0 0 England 3 4 6 7 7 8 9 11 Lon, Lpl, Edi, Nwy, Hol, Den, Kie, Swe, Mos, War StP France 3 4 5 6 7 6 9 7 Par, Bre, Mar, Bel, Spa, Rom, Tun Germany 3 5 3 1 0 0 0 0 Italy 3 5 5 6 4 3 1 1 Por Russia 4 6 7 8 9 10 8 7 Sev, Rum, Ber, Mun, Bud, Vie, Ven Turkey 3 4 5 6 7 7 7 8 Con, Ank, Smy, Bul, Gre, Ser, Tri, Nap Deadlines: Spring 1908 moves will be postponed until the new year for final exams and the Christmas holiday. -------- Fall and Winter 1905 of Game GETTYSBURG (BNC 1989HN) (GM'ed by george%cs.cornell.edu@usc.edu (George R. Boyce)) GM Note: In the Spring 1905 results, I listed France... [A Marseilles S (France) A Spain Hold] SUPPORT CUT (by MAO) [A Spain S (France) A Marseilles Hold] DISLODGED, SUPPORT CUT Obviously the comments on those two failed orders should be reversed. It was Marseilles which was dislodged, not Spain. Now... Austria-Hungary (Patterson) A Bohemia - Silesia A Budapest S (Austria) A Rumania Hold A Bulgaria S (Austria) A Rumania Hold A Rumania Hold A Vienna S (Austria) A Galacia Hold A Galacia S (Austria) A Bohemia - Silesia F Greece S (Austria) Bulgaria Hold The Austrian Emperor, due to an unexplained lack of vodka, is preparing an expeditionary force to find some in the depths of Russia. "We don't understand it." commented an officer of the Royal Guard, "we've always been so understanding with the Czar. Why we even kicked out that Rumanian dictator for them." In the social columns, the recent departure of the Czar's daughter was attributed to an offhand comment by the prince. "hey, all I said was that she had a wart on her nose," complained the Prince. England (Garcia) [F Edinburgh - Clyde] DISLODGED, DISBANDS (rest in peace) France (Lucock) A Burgandy S (France) A Spain - Marseilles A Holland - Belgium A Gascony S (France) A Spain - Marseilles A Spain - Marseilles F Brest - Mid-Atlantic Ocean F North Sea S (France) F Clyde - Edinburgh F Clyde - Edinburgh F London - English Channel Germany (Schwartzman) [A Kiel - Berlin] STAND-OFF [A Munich - Berlin] STAND-OFF [F Helgoland Bight - Denmark] INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT Italy (Johnson) A Tyrolia - Piedmont [A Marseilles - Spain] INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT, DISLODGED, DISBANDS F Ionian Sea - Tyrrhenian Sea F Gulf of Lyon S (Italy) A Marseilles - Spain F Mid-Atlantic Ocean - Portugal Russia (Shook) A Ankara Hold A Norway Hold [A Ukraine - Rumania] INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT A Sevastapol S (Russia) A Ukraine - Rumania A Silesia - Warsaw A Sweden S (Russia) F Denmark Hold F Black Sea S (Russia) A Ukraine - Rumania F Denmark Hold Turkey (Goldsmith) [A Constantinople - Ankara] INSUFFICIENT SUPPORT F Smyrna Hold W05 Supply Centers: AUSTRIA : +0 [7] (Vienna, Trieste, Budapest, Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, Rumania) ENGLAND : -1 [0] (-Edinburgh) FRANCE : +0 [8] (Paris, Brest, Marsailles, Spain, -Portugal, Liverpool, London, Belgium, +Edinburgh) GERMANY : +1 [4] (+Kiel, Berlin, -Denmark, Holland, +Munich) ITALY : +0 [5] (Venice, Rome, Naples, Tunis, -Munich, +Portugal) RUSSIA : +0 [8] (St. Petersburg, Moscow, Warsaw, Sevastapol, Sweden, Norway, Ankara, Kiel) TURKEY : +0 [2] (Smyrna, Constantinople) England is eliminated, Germany gets one build (in Berlin), and Italy gets to rebuild its Marseilles unit. Please submit these orders asap and the next order deadline is Spring 1906 on 1/14/90. George Autumn retreats Sorry for the delay. Munich retreats to Tyrolia, Marseilles to Gascony. If you know you might have to retreat, consider providing conditional retreat orders with your moves. Thanks. George Season: Winter 1905 Germany Build F Berlin Italy Build F Naples The next order deadline, for Spring 1906, is 1/14/90. Have a happy and safe holiday break. George Spring 1906 of game HMS HOOD (BNC 1989HY) (GM'ed by Donald Daybell/daybell@usc.edu) The Russian government has been rocked with turmoil this Spring. Ever since the abdication of Czar Van Wie over the Christmas season, the capital has been in confusion. We have already seen two "leaders" come and go within the span of 3 weeks. The populace of Russia is screaming for a strong figure to step in and take control of the situation. Manuel Noriega is reportedly interested in the job, however he seems to be having difficulties with transportation. A cal for help has gone out to net.god Klein, and a response should be forthcoming soon. The two In-n-Out leaders are already being referred to as "Andropov" and "Chernenko", in honor of those two fine examples of stability who managed to hold their offices for several months at least before succombing to the "killer cold". Hopefully this malady is not indemic to the whole Russian bureauocracy (sp?). In other words. We've lost another player and are awaiting a 3rd replacement player. Game postponed till after the Holidays.
