| DC455 Aberration - Spring 1904 - Zoterik (May 25, 2013, 2:28 am) |
Generally speaking, the circumstances in which nations find themselves appears to be holding steady; those nations under siege remain so, while those who have the capacity to expand take advantage of their opportunities. Israel is certainly putting behind him the bad memory of a late start, and the expansion of Poland continues unabated.
Three units were dislodged; two need retreats. The possibilities are provided below.
Summer 1904 retreats are due 28 May at 08:00 GMT. Retreats are considered final unless otherwise stated, so I will adjudicate early if possible.

Build variants do tend to have a habit of making games more intriguing! Aside from the spat between Sicily and Spain, the highlight of this turn was the first really impressive build: an Israeli fleet on the Black Sea! One imagines all sorts of mischief planned for its future.

Alright, I'll be honest. I have absolutely no idea what is going on in the East. But I do look forward to seeing the results unfold! Out West, everything revolves around Burgundy and is, for the moment, rather clear to me. Four units were dislodged, but only one needs a retreat.
Autumn 1903 retreat due 16th May at 08:00 GMT (twenty-four hours from now!).

The bull's eye fell north of where I expected it might, as Ukraine suffers a massive set-back. The NMR was tough enough; two units disbanded, as well as a Polish incursion, merely adds insult to injury. Byzantium is not out of the woods just yet, as Sicily sails into the home centre. To the West, Burgundy may have bitten off more than he can chew!
The one retreat can be emailed to the group. Summer 1903 deadline is 12th May at 08:00 GMT.

| DC455 - Aberration - Fall 1902 - Zoterik (May 02, 2013, 12:00 pm) |
Alliances begin to rise, and yet some may have already fallen. Byzantium can't seem to catch a break-under attack from three of four neighbors, missives bearing the Roman seal will likely have an extra urgency to them. Meanwhile, Poland emerges atop the supply centre chart, Burgundy boldly strikes in two directions, Sicily expands into Africa, and the Hungarians solidify their position.
Four units were dislodged, but no retreats are needed (one disbanded, three auto-retreat).

Three turns into our game, and evidence of cooperation is scarce, but enough for the Celts to land an army in Picardy. Meanwhile, Israel declines to grab the centre while it seems as though everyone is being encroached upon by everyone else. A handful of self-bounces in the centre of the map indicate vigilant sentries along the present borders. We shall see how long the centre can hold, but for now the conflict seems limited to northern France and the Levant.
For your convenience, links to emails are provided with the country name.
One unit was dislodged, but had one retreat (Sicilian F Ionian Sea).
