In a symbolically momentous moment of our game, Rome has been sacked. By the French, no less. In my imagination, different players have different reactions ???

France:
???Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.??? (Shakespeare)

Italy:
???I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon,
Than such a Roman.??? (Shakespeare)

England:
"I would rather be first in a small village in Gaul than second in command in Rome" (Julius Caesar)

(Note on that last quote: in most citations, the words ???in Gaul??? are omitted; however, seeing as how England is the owner of a small village in Gaul and is currently in first; whereas France is in command of Rome and currently in second place, the quote as stands is just nigh perfect).


The end-game proposals fail, but have no fear, two more have been proposed. Please vote with your Fall orders:
EFG draw
AEFG draw

We have two retreats. The English army in Rumania auto-retreats to Bulgaria. The Italian army in Rome may retreat to Apulia, Tuscany, or off the board. Please submit that order no later than 2:00 p.m. CST tomorrow, Tom.

So, there you have it. An Italian retreat due tomorrow. The other details of the adjudication I leave to your prying and inquisitive minds.
