In fall 1901 of our "Never Ending Story", Austria and Germany prove to be the big winners. Austria guesses correctly that his unsupported move to Gre would succeed and that he could force his way into Rum. Germany bounces Russia from Swe and walks unopposed into both Hol and Bel, while England commits all his forces to gaining Nwy. France moves to protect Mar from an Italian attack that does not materialize, while Italy convoys to Tun. Russia draws the short straw and misses out on the winter 1901 builds. No retreats are due, so we move directly to the winter adjustment phase.

Everyone except Russia picks up at least one build during winter 1901. Because of the holiday, I'll give everyone a little extra time to send their build orders, and set the winter 1901 deadline for next Thursday 12/27 at 3pm Central (US).

Winter 1901 adjustments:

Austria build 3
England build 1
France build 2
Germany build 3
Italy build 1
Turkey build 1
