Game Notes:

1) No celebrating yet, but I had no notice of any adjudication errors last time... however, Robert Stimmel did give me some clarifications and map errors. In particular, the map had Ottoman's army in Afghanistan, but it is in Uzbek, as you can see from the listing above.

2) Gene Prosnitz has added an E-Mail address.

3) Someone has asked a question about supports regarding fleets moving to coasts of multiple coast provinces. For example, can Adriatic support Naples to the West Coast of Papal States? The answer is unequivocally YES. This works just like the regular game. The issue for supports is: can the supporting unit move to the PROVINCE, not the coast of the province, where the supported unit is moving? And, yes, you can do this.

Press:

(GM to SPAIN): I know it's a "big change" rather than a small change, but I actually think the biggest problem with the map you drew is how small Europe is relative to the number of provinces in it. I, for one, would go for more distortion and easier reading. Probably you can't do that without starting over though. No map this time, but you'll get another map with the Fall results. I think it will be helpful for game watchers and players alike to get an overview of the board and whose units are where.

(LISBON): General Chaos has overthrown the King. He will be kept as a figurehead. General Chaos announces the following:

(1) An alliance with Attila the Hun, which should profit us in middle Europe.

(2) The sending of spies pretending to be English to form an alliance with the Iroquois to fight the French Indian allies.

(3) A conversion to Buddhism in order to acquire Tibet.

(4) Founded a fort in Manitoba and named it Fort Vichy.

(5) Sending mosquitos to the La Salle River.
