Hello all
 
Disappointing news this turn, with no orders received from Germany or England for Spring 1903.  As this is the second straight season both have not submitted orders (per the diplomaticcorp GM rules, England's lack of a retreat for Autumn 1902 counts as an NMR) I'm going to seek replacement players rather than declare both countries in civil disorder, in the interests of game balance.
 
This is a disappointing situation, but I hope you'll appreciate why I need to seek replacement players.  As soon as new players are identified, I'll be back in touch, with a revised Spring 1903 order deadline.  Realistically, this won't be until after the holiday period.

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
