Game Notes:

1) Note that Bob Acheson has moved to a new apartment in the same building.

2) We have six retreats, by my count, and some more fancy adjudicating. We'll see if I got everything right. Remember that if I make a mistake in Spring, you NEED to alert me to it by the Summer deadline.

Press:

(SPAIN - OTTO): Hope my letter got there in time.

(SPAIN - NETH): Welcome aboard.

(SPAIN - FRANCE): I thought we already discussed this. Go Home!

(BOOB to COLONIA'S): Kinda quiet on the press, but I know it takes a lot of effort just to follow all these units around. The Spring/Fall map appears again. I know this is helpful to me for getting a sense of the big picture, but I don't ``set up'' the game like most of you probably do. I adjudicate using the large blank map and just entering the orders. Probably not a wise idea, but that's the way I GM. Doing the paper map is my last check, note that I missed the Russian move from Caucasus to Armenia the first time around and thought that the Ottoman's got in, but doing the map made the correction obvious.
