Did no one tell me that this is a no-press Gunboat game?  My request for preliminary orders was met by precisely that, prelims from everyone.  Then no one bothered to change them at all, which makes me wonder if you guys figured out your schemes in advance, or simply don't actually do any negotiating.  Either way, we advance through Fall 1907 with preliminary orders all around.  Feeling lucky, punks?


There was considerably activity in the Balkans, but the net result is zero as both Austria and Turkey took one and lost another.  Turkey does still get a build to show for the fight, however.  Sevastopol was left open again, but this time Russia went north for the imperial capital, but was held off by the neo-Teutonic knights.  Indeed, the biggest gains this year are German, adding two centers, including Munich once again, although with only Berlin open for a build, one will be kept in his back pocket for later use.  If ever.  I had one of those once; it felt good at first but marked the beginning of my end in that particular game.  And England lingers while France and Germany fight over gets what England has already lost.


I need one retreat from Austria.  As it only affects the Austrian adjustments, I have no qualms about releasing adjustments now for those who don't want to wait until after the retreat comes in.

Autumn 1907 retreat due 27 January at 08:00 GMT.

Winter 1907 adjustments due 29 January at 08:00 GMT.
