Sources close to the Italian star reported that he was considering joining his twin due to the inevitability of certain military situations. When asked to comment, all he said was "This really sucks." The government in Rome delivered a warning to France, Russia and Turkey stating that Italian territory was sacrosanct. Any entry would be considered an act of war. An semi-reliable source in the Ministry of This-N-That commented that "...we keep getting offers from both sides! But we have no idea who to join! So this ploy might make the decision for us. Hey, have you got any tickets for the Elvis concert?..." Reports out of Naples today confirmed rumours of active ship building in an effort by the Italian government to repel the French fleet in the Tyrrhenian sea. FORCE 1066 SMASHES SCOTTISH GUN-RUNNING RING New York (AP) -- The French fleet in the North Atlantic announced today the capture of Jock McKenzie, leader of the British resistance on the North Coast of Scotland, together with 50 tons of weapons and supplies on fishing boats attempting to bring relief to the Freedom Fighters from British held territories in Scandinavia. It is believed that McKenzie's well known affair with the Dutch charmer Mata Hari may have played a role in revealing the British plans. The French now appear in firm control both on land and sea. Representatives of the British Government in Exile here are reported to be negotiating desperately for naval assistance from friendly powers in breaking the blockade. ************************** Pete's Points: Next orders due on the 8th. As I noted in my message earlier today, England can't build because he does not control any home centers. As a result, both England and Russia will be playing one unit short (Russia only had two centers free.)

Today in a speech to the masses of the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Ben wept for his homeland and his people, the victims of the unprovoked anger of their neighbors. He asked the enemies of Turkey to show mercy to the inhabitants of Asia minor, and look beyond their lusts of power and land. He then ended the speach asking all the nations of Europe to find the goodwill in their hearts to aid the people of Turkey, whose own dispositions and outlooks on life kept the Turkish army out of the other major empires. He then retired to his palace, maybe never to be seen again, though rumor has it that the Sultan and the King of England are planning a party in Rio as soon as they are forced from Europe. -- George Fall 1905 of game HMS HOOD (BNC 1989HY) (GM'ed by Donald Daybell/daybell@usc.edu) Fall 1905 of HMS Hood FLEET FLEETS BEAT FEET!!!!!!

Everywhere men and boys, women and girls, are leaving behind their everyday lives and joining the Peoples Liberating Force (PLF).
