Hey Michael,
 
Bad news.  One of my supervisors at work is going on disability for a couple of months.  The impact to me is that I will be doing her job as well as my own.  That won't be possible without clearing a lot off my plate.  I am going to have to step down from the game and though, I could send in orders now,  would rather give a replacement player the opportunity to dip and drive the ship.  I hope when things settle to get into a game and you have been one of the best GMs I have played with.  Fine group of dippers in this game too.
 
Mike Norton

Gaul did send a retraet, it's buried in my inbox.  Had too many games hit in a short window.
The retreat is to Britannia!

By the way, we got no retreat from Gaul so the remaning fleet goes off the board!  This may be the end of the line for them... but you never know... surging back from no units and no home centers is always an option!
 
FALL:  Due Tuesday 10/2, 3pm Central.
Enjoy!

NEWSFLASH FROM MACEDONIA:
The Macedonian capital is recovering from a state of shock as it's relatively peaceful Prince was found poisoned in the royal palace. Security Forces will not discuss any suspects or evidence, but it is rumored that a large shipment of wine, believed to have originated in the Roman port of Napoli, was consumed at the state dinner last night. Soon after the news of the assassination was revealed, the top generals and admirals in the Macedonian navy convened and formed a shadow government that will rule for at least the rest of this year under a state of martial law. As its first act, the Shadow Government urgently dispatched orders to all Macedonian forces, overwriting previous orders and directing the forces to move West. Immediately afterwards, the Shadow Government announced that all official emissaries will continue to be received through the same channels that were used
to contact the deceased Prince. Long Live the Macedonians.
 
We have one retreat, and it goes to the "now more than ever" withering hordes of Germania - quite possibly reduced to living on an island across that channel thing.
