GM’s remarks:
 
As the English Fleet in the Barents Sea has only one retreat available, I have automatically performed the retreat to the Norwegian Sea.  Jack if you would have preferred to retreat the unit off the board, please get with me as soon as possible and I will send everyone a correction.
 
A couple of players out and about this next week; so, since Jack and Ian are both unavailable until after Sunday (10/1, we will have an extended build season (please see deadline below).
 
As the holiday season approaches, please keep me informed of your planned vacations so that I can set appropriate Deadlines.  Thanks.
