Hi folks,

Well, some of you noticed that I put the wrong year on the map last week when I adjudicated, and some didn't, but regardless it's not really that important. For your info, the current year is 1904.

One more quick note, which our Turkish player might want to pay particularly close attention to... sometimes you NEED to specify coasts. I will accept orders if there is only one option (for example the English move from Bothnia - St. Petersburg), but not all GMs will, so it's a good idea to get in the habit of specifying a coast. In the case of Turkey's move from Con - Bul.... well there are clearly two options, so that unit holds for this turn. Sorry Chris.

Now on to the adjudication. Unfortunately we have an nmr from Austria, second in a row. Only one of them has been for a major turn, so I'm willing to keep Hari in the game if he gets in touch with me soon. Otherwise I will have to seek a replacement. I will hold off on setting a new deadline for two days to give Hari a chance to contact me.

So here are the goods. It looks like our Russian is finally on the ropes, and remarkably Austria remains unscathed through his missed orders.

RETREATS

French F Brest can retreat to Gascony.
---------------------

Ordinarily I might move the French fleet on my own, but since we are waiting for Hari to contact me anyhow I will just leave it up to the French commander to let me know. He can retreat to Gascony or OTB (off the board).

I think that's it for now. Maps are attached. I'll be in touch soon.
