[FEMA Camp Administrator]

muon, I believe I sent you a PM regarding what I believe to be a misreading of the moves I submitted last week.

[muon2]

muon, I believe I sent you a PM regarding what I believe to be a misreading of the moves I submitted last week.

Thanks for pointing out the error. Your order should have been posted as A fin-nwy. A lon-nwy was supported by nrg, so it would still succeed 2-1. There would be no change in the position after Spring 1905 moves.

[muon2]

Hopefully without error,

[GeorgiaModerate]

Gentlemen,

I propose a draw among the four surviving powers.  My attempt at a solo victory appears to be doomed at this point; you all have defended superbly.  It also seems likely that none of the remaining powers can be eliminated without disrupting the balance of power to a degree that it would throw the game to someone else.

There is certainly some play left in this position, and I'll soldier on if the draw proposal doesn't pass.  However, to be honest I'd like to call it a day.  A few weeks ago I suffered a bad back injury (fractured one of my vertebrae in a fall; getting old sucks).  This has caused me severe pain on a continuing basis, although it is gradually decreasing, thankfully.  As a result, I've found it difficult to focus on the game.

It's been fun and interesting. 

Regards to all,
GM

[muon2]

I have updated the position with the retreat F ion -> gre. If there is interest in the draw offer, responses may be posted on the thread or by pm to me.

[muon2]

Winter 1907

Austria: Build F tri
France: Build F bre
Russia: Build A war



Orders for Spring 1908 are due by 11:59 pm CST Fri Dec 13.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

My apologies for not responding earlier to GM (my thoughts have been elsewhere this week), I'm not automatically averse to reaching a settlement, though I will add that the Tsardom would be hard-pressed, in light of geopolitical realities, to tell the peoples of Russia that the war is over when the fun is just beginning.

In that case, we'll see you on the barricades.

[NOVA Green]

Italian underground partisans claim credit for the deaths of (97) retreating French sailors and army folks, and the almost successful assassination attempt of the French puppet occupation leader now that self-rule has been administered by the Austrian occupation forces in Venice.

The French do not retreat.  They were advancing toward another front.

[muon2]

Spring 1908

No orders were submitted by England. There are three retreats needed: Austria A rom, France F ion, France A pie.

The French do not retreat.  They were advancing toward another front.

Italian Partisan armed resistance as the French continue their retreat....

The French desperately try to adjust for their strategic miscalculation, and now it's pretty clear that Austria will occupy all of the Italian "Boot" by next Fall...

(233) more French soldiers die at the hands of the Italian Partisans, plus the death of the French "Ambassador" to Italy at the hands of unknown assailants at the hands of an assassin...

It is now absolutely clear that France will die a slow death at the hands of a combined English-Russian-Austrian Alliance, because of their hubris, perfidy, and lies....

France likely brokered a temp ceasefire with England, to belatedly shift forces towards the Med Region....

Wouldn't personally trust France as far as you could throw them, and that's a long ways assuming we are not talking about the English Channel...

France is essentially getting down on bended knees begging for a mutual victory after they betrayed friend after friend, and now meanwhile the "Forces of Victory" are "Knocking on Heavens Door"....

"Never trust a Sicilian when death is on the line"   The attempt to recreate a Bonaparte regime has failed, dismally.... the French should have followed through with their promises to my political leadership as I advised them....

[Gustaf]

Sorry everyone, combination of private and professional committments accumulated this week and I totally lost track of time. Still in the game though, will submit orders for this turn.

[muon2]

The following retreats were issued for Spring 1908:

Austria: A rom-tus

Either that or it's a VERY long deadline!
