I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has April showers
And two and two always makes a five

----------------------------------------------

Rough turn for Italy as France, Austria and Turkey play dog-pile. Meanwhile, Austria gets some of the same treatment as the Cossacks power their way into Budapest. And in the north, England takes Sweden, but finds themselves facing white fleets in the Barents Sea. Interesting turn indeed.. =)

Four retreats are required after the Spring moves: two from Italy, one from Russia and one from Austria. I've set the deadline for Summer 1904 orders for Friday, January 4th (11:59 PM GMT).

Please just let me know if you spot any errors. As well, for those who note these types of things, all of our previous subject headers came from song titles from Radiohead's latest album 'In Rainbows'. (And yes, that CD is absolutely what this game is named after...) Unfortunately with our last Winter turn, the last song title was spun out. So I've thrown a new CD into the drive and have started a fresh round of subject headers with it. =)

Thats it from me for Spring 04. Cheers folks!
