I didn't think in marriage it mattered if I read them or not - they are always subject to change according to the thing that benefits her most...

Garry, it's ok.  Not reading the rules on Dip is one thing.  Did you read the rules on marriage?  Just checking. Believe me, she has. 
  
Heck she probly wrote them.

As someone was kind enough to point out, wedding brain has kicked in. The rules of the Aberration variant by nature allow aberration builds which means that you can build out of your HC as long as you still own one. 
  
Sorry...dumbass Jester of the March...guess reading of the rules is NOT really required of your GM. 
  
Results to follow shortly.

More than one person submitted builds outside of home centers. This is NOT a Chaos build game. It was never stated that it was nor have I known tournaments to be such. Since more than one made this mistake, I am giving 24 hours to correct this. If I do not receive updated orders I will NBR the parties affected. Also since I have had to make this announcement public I am FREEZING all other received orders at this point. 
  
Many apologies. If this were not a non-standard variant I would not normally feel the need to clarify.

So Much for the Results I Was Expecting 
Burgandy Seems to Pull Off a Coup By Being One of Two to Go +2 (Sicily WAS Expected to Be the Other) 
Spain Manages to Defend the Homeland Pretty Well and Trades South Spain for Northern Spain 
Hungary Seems to Be Left at the Alter By Some? 
Byzantium Makes It Through With No Losses (Trading Con for Arm)? You Read That Right...I Double-Checked 
ESPECIALLY After Kevin's Condemnation of the Southeast 
Eire Builds One But Gets the Unlucky Order of the Day Award - The Move to Gascony Gave Brittany to Another 
  
All, 
PLEASE DOUBLE-CHECK ORDERS. Make that a standing rule. The abbreviations and board configuration are unique and I am still getting used to it. Plus there are quite a few versions submitted over time.  
  
We have one retreat that was required: A Bavaria could retreat to Tyrol or Swabia or OTB. 
  
In the interest of getting through Winter and Spring before we have an extended break, I auto-retreated to Tyrol. If desired, Adam can change that with our Winter orders (I don't foresee that his desired retreat would affect builds or removals BUT if you feel they do please let me know ASAP OR write conditional builds/removals). Winter orders are as follows: 
  
Burgundy - Build 2 
Sicily - Build 2 
Eire - Build 1 
Hungary - no change UNLESS retreat OTB from Bav in which case build 1 
Israel - Remove 1 
Poland - Remove 1 
Spain - Remove 1 
Ukraine - Build 1 
Byzantium - no change 
  
Let's have Winter adjustments due Thursday night at 9pm CDT and Spring 03 due next Wednesday the 13th at 6pm CDT. After that we will have an extended break until the 28th of October due to the Lord of the March's wedding celebration and subsequent tour of the countryside to show off the wife (so that the loyal subjects can meet her - a tradition called the honeymoon?).  
  
Well, that should cover us. Can't wait for the next chapter. 
  
Lord of the March
