I apologize that I cannot give my usual attention to the adjudication this turn; I find myself in a bit of a hurry.  But, welcome back to the game after a month-long hiatus!  Some of you, I see, are still on vacation.  Perhaps as a result of war weariness, we have our first End Game Proposal, for which I would like the votes of all Active players by the end of Fall 408.  In the present, however, Poland makes it a big year, and expands on his lead at the expense of smaller powers.

EGP №1:  4-way draw; Israel/Poland/Sicily/Spain
