So, the big news is the wholesale conversion of the German homeland to Mother Rus. Berlin, Denmark, Kiel, Munich. Da, da, da, da. Russia's score right now? Two touchdowns and a field goal. One more, and it's game over.

Elsewhere... Russia's Italian friend... far from converting an entire nation, he loses Brest.

And that, my friends, is the difference between a Patriarch and a Pope. With a Patriarch, you can convert all of Germany. With a Pope, you can't even keep what you had. Must have something to do with married priests...

There is one auto-retreat:

Italian A Brest retreats to Picardy.

Winter is due on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. CST, but I can adjudicate today if I get all orders before about 3:00 p.m. Orders are due from Germany, Italy, and Russia. It's a good thing for Russia that he has four home centers so he can use all of those builds.

France: Supp 4 Unit 4 Build 0
Germany: Supp 3 Unit 5 Remove 2
Italy: Supp 9 Unit 10 Remove 1
