Hi guys,
hey, if Nationalists and Republicans can get along in
Spain, perhaps the same's possible when it comes to Republicans
and Democrats in Washington DC... But then, nah... WAY too
fanciful a scenario! :p
So next to this unprecedented degree of cooperation on the Iberian
peninsula, what perhaps another key story of Fall 1937 happens to
be the - hm - manoeuvres held by several nations close to Poland's
home bases.
And how did the newly installed Pr?sident fare? I trust he shall
be dismayed by "le perfide Albion" thanking him for support? into
the Netherlands by simultaneously occupying Brest. The now not so
grand nation also traded SCs with Italy. I guess there's at least
some solace in that Iraqi oil will keep fuelling the French war
effort in the coming year.
Down in the Balkans and the Med, the Turkish leadership is in for
a rude awakening as the Italian army blitzed into Serbia and the
Regia Marina sailed unopposed into the Aegean. Britain has equally
strengthened her Near East presence by forcefully
intervening in Egypt's domestic affairs.
Four additional minor powers succumb to the big bullies, though
Croatia get a reprieve - for now.
Anyway, I'll let you examine the adjucation for further
developments of interest.
Retreats/Adjustments are due this Friday, 6 PM CET. Please submit
orders in good time. I'd prefer not to fret over someone not
getting his in on time as I had to last winter.
Happy dipping,
Charles
