The last orders trickle in. There was no need for retreat. Well, for the French army in Kiel, there was need, but there was not opportunity. Cut off in the prime of life, the Burgundian Brigade (BB) suffers a premature end. Born in the Winter of 1901, the BB spent most of its life in??? well, in Burgundy. After supporting A Mar-Bur in S1902, the BB advanced to Burgundy itself in F1902. There it stayed for three years until F1905 ??? sometimes supporting A Bel H, sometimes failing to enter Ruhr, sometimes supporting a failed effort of A Bel-Ruh. Then, in F1905, the BB had its breakthrough, advancing on a dizzying campaign of disruption into Ruhr, Munich, and (by retreat) Kiel. But sadly, in this Spring of 1907, isolated and exposed, the BB succumbed to a suffocating German assault. Fare the well, BB. You were taken from us too early.

Looking ahead to the Fall??? Will Turkey survive into 1908? It???s like a game of rock-paper-scissors. Matt Kelly, I???ve certainly appreciated your replacement assistance. I hope, for your sake, that we can appreciate it for another year. Or, in the words of the immortal poet:

???Oh, won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear
You say that you will???

Elsewhere, the French occupy Mid-Atlantic. The Italians occupy Piedmont, and the townspeople of Marseilles begin fleeing to the countryside. Russia???s northern fleets continue to assert themselves, occupying Norway and Liverpool. The Liverpudlians say, ???Da! Nyet! Slavsya Rossiya!??? (This last comment exists purely as an excuse to type ???Liverpudlian???).

The next deadline will be next Tuesday, January 18th, at the reasonable hour of 10:00 a.m. CST.
