Yes, it's a difference between the official rules, which say any NMR results in CD, and the DC rules, which require two consecutive NMRs. I suppose I thought Realpolitik was created for DC and followed its rules, not the official. Lesson learned.

I don't know that I'd blame RP for this one.  There are those who believe that if you NMR you NMRfor the entire season which means retreats are off the board.  I think that may actually be in the rules,
I'm just not sure of the exact wording.
Made me look.  LOL.  Here it is:I checked the 1976
edition and the 2000 edition of the rules.  The wording is slightly different, but
not enough to change the meaning at all.
Under Civil Disorder:If a player leaves a game, or fails to
submit orders in a given spring or fall season, it is assumed that the civil government in his country has collapsed.  His units hold in place but do not support each other.  If they are
dislodged they are disbanded.  It goes on, but that's the relevant part.
So, RP is, in fact, correct in it's adjudication.

Ok gentlemen, we have a small adjustment, although this one can be blamed on the Realpolitik tool, which
I was under the impression was infallible. Turns out, it is not.  The adjustment is thankfully minor, England should have been able to retreat from the North Sea rather than be disbanded, and he has retreated to Skagerrak. Map is attached.

The battle continues to rage as we move into 1903.. Sevastopol wins the blue ribbon in the contest for most contested piece of
land in the region as nearly the full force of the Russian and Turkish military descends upon it. When the smoke clears, it is Turkey which has control, and also still holds the Black Sea. Having acquired a taste for fine French cuisine over the Winter, German troops pay no heed to the new French Premiere's warnings and instead press their attack, marching into the French capital. In the North, Germany and Russia join together to roll back the English fleets, whose orders seem to have gotten locked up in Parliament. With no word from London on what to do, the confused North Sea fleet is scattered to the four winds.  Deadline for Fall 1903 is July 28th.   Austria
