Game Notes:

1) Note the new address and phone number for John Power!!

2) I am being assured that Karl is in the game and will get me orders by the 18th, even though I haven't heard a peep from him. We'll go with that, but if he doesn't show, I'm going to be tempted to take over the country myself and beat the pants off you guys!!! (mostly) kidding....

3) I want to thank Robert Stimmel for continuing to give me extra map updates. The map I printed last time is courtesy of David Partridge. I realized I should credit him properly. I will be using it for my map. As Robert notes, sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between fleets (I use capital letters) and armies (I use small letters). As is true in ALL szines which print maps of which I am aware, the map is a SERVICE to the players. It is NOT intended to be a substitute for the listing of the units. The listing of the units ALWAYS is held to supercede any error or bad handwriting that causes a misinterpretation of the map. Still, I thank Robert for keeping me on my toes and commenting where the map was confusing or hard to follow. Robert has some more press on this below.

Press:

(MAP Q): The map probably wasn't intended to be completely accurate. For example, Hesse should be west of Saxony, and Bavaria.

(BUILD Q): Issue #216 had the home centers and special SC's of Nanking, Naples, and Crimea listed. ((Yes, when we finally get Fall run and I print an SC chart, you will have the places ***I*** think you can build capitalized, while neutral centers will be in small letters. This will be according to the rules, not considering if you can ACTUALLY build there because of the presence of other units. BUT, I'm glad someone keeps my back issues on these things. I can't keep reprinting them every issue! You're responsible for keeping up on the rules. I'll try to help you where I can, but I want this game to stay in the main szine, and to do that I have to keep the number of pages it takes up down to a dull roar.))

(PORT): We are employing English ship builders who built their Malayan fleet. It's so big it reaches from Siam's west coast to Siam's east coast.

(P-N): Hungry Hague sailors will continue going hungry as they went to Hanover, not Hamburg. Why not try Turkey or Oesterreich (ostrich)?
