I'm still getting some press, and if anyone has any proposals I'm willing to hear them.  I also do my best to reply to evryone, but sometimes you have to wonder if people are just fishing.

Just out of curiousity, is there any actual "diplomacy" going on any more, or have the draw participants sorted themselves out and are simply grinding through to the finish?
I'm not much interested in games where I have a fair percentage of centers but never receive any substantive press.  I can't imagine anyone else is either?!?

Max,Agreed, and I didn't intend to slight the assistance by the French, Spanish, Dutch. In fact, my initial listing for the category "No Adjustments Needed" was "France", but I realized that wasn't historically accurate since they were not sitting on the sidelines.

hmm well I dont like single line statements on history, but I must point out that the colonies had a lot of help from the French, (and spanish and dutch) and its very unlikely the revolution would have succeeded without them...from a purely military perspective..in those early years....not to take anything away from my good friends your celebration of what was the birth of the greatest nation the world has ever seen.  I  for one thank God America is here and remains the superpower.

Subject: DC406: Fall 08 Retreats!

Hi all,
Retreats are in early! Seems that good planning allows for quick decisions. Whether those decisions are right or wrong remains to be determined.Reminds me a bit of the US holiday we in the States are about to celebrate. The Americans planned well, had a good purpose to fight for. The Brits, on the other hand, didn't take the revolt seriously, thought they were putting down a small revolution, and didn't bring in the big guns until too late. We all know how well THAT strategy worked.



Retreats, Fall 08:-------------------------Gnomes: A Newa River - Elephant GraveyardOgres: A Cyriss - Moominvalley
Look at this -- for once, everyone still in the game has either a build or a disband; no one is sitting on the sidelines just watching. 

Adjustment Deadline is Tuesday, July 3rd. Let's get them in before the holiday, otherwise there'll be *explosions*.
