Woo-hoo! My summer nemesis, the Fall 09 turn, is at last adjudicated
- and what a turn of action it is!

The Wizards provide a crucial support cut, allowing Faerie control of
Mt Nimro - but in turn the Wizes are hosed by the sneaky little Elves
in Faerun.

The Dwarves put up a good fight, but have to fall back before the
thuggish Trolls chant of "All your Undermountain are belong to Us!"

The Rogues continue to pummel the Knights, but lose a crucial center in Cathal.

While the Ogres loom in the south, waving their pistols in the air and
roaring "Centers?! We won't take your centers. We don't need no
steeenking centers!!" (Must be from that movie sequal - Ogres of the
Sierra Madre)

Yes, it was quite the turn. My apologies for the long anticipation
that had to lead up to it. We've got three retreats to take care of
before moving on to Winter though - one each for the Dwarves, Faeries
and the very tanned Undead. We'll set the deadline for the Early
Winter 09 retreats for Tuesday, August 18th (11:59 PM GMT).

Regarding the Archers - I am still seeking out a replacement player.
The orders from this turn were submitted by Rachael in order for the
turn to get put out. I'll pop the game open on the recruiting page,
and have a couple of other rocks that I can turn over in hopes of
replacements. In the worst case scenario, I have a few people that
have offered to send in gunboat orders temporarily, as we did with the
Knights position for a while, until a permanent replacement can be
found.

Let me know if you spot any horrible GM blunders. Thanks again for
the patience over the last month or so. And enjoy the results!
Cheers!
