I use RealWorld/Realpolitik as my clerical staff. I also use it when submitting orders to avoid this sort of thing. Looking at the map image alone, the space in question is easily misread and subsequently misspelled. I'm sure others are too, but I've had a run in with this issue already.

Since no official abbreviation list was made available and we're left with the map alone to determine space names, I think some leeway in their spellings should be allowed, not for fat-fingering the keyboard, but for not being able to read the Latinish names on the map.

Besides how do you know his spell-checker did up and "fix it" without his realizing it when he send?

So, for future reference, here are the names and abbreviations right out of the RP file:

Adriatic Sea, adr
Aegean Sea, aeg
Alexandria, ale
Antioch, ant
Apulia, apu
Arabia, ara
Armenia, arm
Athens, ath
Ausonian Sea, aus
Baleares, bal
Bayuda, bay
Berber Sea, ber
Bithynia, bit
Black Sea, bla
Byzantium, byz
Cappadocia, cap
Carthage, car
Chersonesus, che
Cilician Strait, cil
Cirta, cir
Corsica, cor
Crete, cre
Cyprus, cyp
Cyrene, cyr
Dacia, dac
Dalmatia, dal
Damascus, dam
Egyptian Sea, egy
Epirus, epi
Etruria, etr
Galatia, gal
Gaul, gau
Gulf of Pelusium, gop
Gulf of Syrtis, gos
Gulf of Tacape, got
Iberian Sea, ibe
Illyria, ill
Ionian Sea, ion
Isauria, isa
Jerusalem, jer
Leptis, lep
Libyan Sea, lib
Ligurian Sea, lig
Lusitania, lus
Macedonia, mac
Marmarica, mar

We have two erroneous orders and one unit that NMR'd (and another unit that NMR'd to the misorder). One misorder is quite consequential, the other is not terribly awful, and the one unit that NMR'd might as well have held.  So here are the orders.
 
 
Rome:
A Etruria - Massilia (*Fails*)
F Punic Sea to Thaesus (No such province)
A Rhaetia - Vindobona
A Roma - Neapolis (*Bounce*)
F Sicilia - Neapolis (*Bounce*)
 
Carthage:
F Ausonian Sea - Neapolis (*Bounce*)
F Berber Sea Convoys A Sardinia - Carthage
F Ligurian Sea - Baleares
A Massilia, NMR
A Sardinia - Carthage
A Tarraconensis Supports A Massilia
A Thapsus Supports A Sardinia - Carthage
 
Persia:
A Armenia - Chersonesus (*Bounce*)
F Byzantium - Macedonia (*Fails*)
A Cappadocia - Sinope
F Cilician Strait - Miletus (*Fails*)
A Dacia Supports F Byzantium - Macedonia
A Galatia Supports A Cappadocia - Sinope
F Miletus - Byzantium (*Fails*)
A Tyre Hold
 
Greece:
F Black Sea Supports A Macedonia - Byzantium
A Dalmatia - Illyria
A Macedonia - Byzantium (*Fails*)
A Sinope - Chersonesus (*Dislodged*)
F Sparta, NMR
F Athens to Messenian Sea (*Fails*  No unit in Athens, provinces not connected anyway)
 
Egypt:
A Bayuda - Sahara
F Egyptian Sea Hold
F Gulf of Tacape Supports F Punic Sea - Thapsus (*Void*)
A Jerusalem - Tyre (*Fails*)
A Leptis - Numidia
F Libyan Sea Supports F Gulf of Tacape
F Minoan Sea - Aegean Sea
A Phazania - Cirta

Check map for errors.  All misorders and NMRs were already double checked, so don't bother arguing.
Need 1 retreat.  Greek army in Sinope can retreat to Bithynia or OTB.  Retreat deadline is Tuesday Feb 23rd, but I'll adjud sooner if I get the order and "final" in the subject.  Also, this was a fall move, so I'll need builds, so feel free to start thinking about that.
 
Carthage will lose 1
Egypt will gain 2
Persiwill gain 1
Greece will have to disband one, but may retreat Sinope OTB to prevent that (of course, he may also retreat to Bithynia and then disband Bithynia in the winter).
 
Builds/disbands will be required sometime towards the end of next week - deadline will be set once I get the retreat.

"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?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."
