My apologies, but there???s no witty banter today about our good friend, Julius Caesar. Sometimes, a GM is too busy??? writing his EoG for the DiplomaticCorp Invitational. The good news is that I was crowned the winner (pretty cool, huh?). In the process, me and my allies bested Dirk, which was no easy thing. The bad news is that I don???t know the meaning of brevity, so my EoG is needlessly long, and I don???t have time to research pithy Caesarisms. Onto business???

First of all, there is an AEFG draw proposal for vote with Spring 1910 orders.

Second, there are two retreats.
Austrian Army Tyrolia may retreat to Trieste or OTB
Austrian Fleet Ionian Sea may retreat to Aegean Sea, Adriatic Sea, Albania, Apulia, Greece, or OTB.

Usually, I would retreat Tyrolia-Trieste. However, since Jack has a second retreat, and since he may wish to disband and rebuilt, I???ll just let him call both shots.

Heading into Winter, there are *no* adjustments (on account that Russia has no open home centers with which to build. So, Jack, send in those retreats. If you wish to do any disbanding, then please also include your build orders.

There was pretty much no defense along the AIR front this season. Russia held. Austria protected Bohemia but allowed Tyrolia to get taken. Tuscany was likewise undefended (so Austria was free to advance into Tyrrhenian Sea, and Italy didn???t lose a supply center). France retreated his fleet from the Eastern Med to the Ionian.

Orders are due whenever Jack gets them in??? or on Tuesday. Whichever happens first.
