Game Notes:

1) Note that John Power has changed his E-Mail address.

2) Somehow the French build in Quebec ended up in Montreal, a province that isn't even on our map.... that has been corrected and presumably didn't fool anyone.

3) I am shooting for a NO MISTAKE adjudication this time..... can I do it??? No retreats, it is a press only Summer season coming up, so you have plenty of time to correct me, but I would really like to get the hang of this map. I think you are all about to clash in ways that will challenge me further ;-)

Press:

(CHINA-OTTOMAN): I've reached my western extent at Nepal. We need to talk.

(CHINA-PORTUGAL): Note the above.

(SPAIN - OTTOMAN): Sorry the letter was late, hope you got it in time.

(PORT to SP/FR): Get the French out of Iberia!

(SPAIN - NETHERLANDS): Sent a couple of emails, did you get them?

(TOULON): Admiral Dartagne is quiet pleased with the state of the French navy. We know have four strong fleets to defend our native soil, and to further our colonization efforts. Lets see if I can break historic tradition and be the first French ruler to have a decent navy.

(CHINA-RUSSIA): I thought that you didn't have a problem with borders. At least not when you and your Austrian ally were asking for Korea and Manchuria.

(MONTREAL): French trappers and explorers are doing well in Neuveaux FRANCE. The Great Marcel Marceau Wilderness is just across the LaSalle River and hopefully soon a grand city will be founded in the name of the King. St. Nicolas sounds like a good name for a city along the banks of the LaSalle River. (As if I would name it after that pompous King Louis).

(PONTIAC): It is reported that some neanderthal looking Portuguese are making their way eastward from the Yukon. Hopefully they will have the sense to avoid interfering with French objectives in Neuveaux FRANCE. Our native allies, the Mohicans and Huron don't take kindly to anyone messing with us. The Mohicans Nathaniel, Chingachgook, and Uncas will be on my side in this one, since the anglais haven't arrived in the new world (yet?).

(SPAIN to WORLD): If anyone has any comments on the map Jim is using please let me know as I'd like to continue improving it. So far I've noticed that the Siam/Malay border is rather confusing, and the center dot on NWG is hard to see, as is the one in Ifni.
