Friends,
This season we say farewell to our first player as Germany drops their final centers to an ongoing British attack. Thanks for playing - and designing the variant - Charles. Please don't forget to submit an EOG statement for us.
We have our first end game proposal this season: for a Turkish solo! Please be sure to include your vote with your SPRING orders.
There are no retreats this season as the dislodged German unit is forced to disband thanks to no remaining supply centers, while the Turkish army in Transylvania was destroyed; upcoming deadlines at the end of this note.
