Heya Empire Seekers,

Think I covered most of the retreats with the headlines. Austria also retreats to Sudan, Japans second retreat is to the Kirbati Sea. On top of the retreats though, we have two pieces of press and an end-game proposal. The press I'll send in seperate emails following this one. The proposal is for a joint Dutch / US draw. We'll have a vote on it and set the deadline for votes with the Fall orders. Not voting will count as a nay and scuttle the proposal.

Fall orders and Dutch / US draw vote deadline will be set for Saturday, March 1st (11:59 PM GMT). As always, please just let me know if you spot any errors. Cheers!
