Dear Players,

Spring 01 adjudicated - and I am happy to see that it looks unlike any other Spring 1901 map I've enjoyed yet (during my brief foray into the dangerous world of Diplomacy!).

The Seas become increasingly congested and conflict is rife, as national borders are traversed and invaded - It's enough to perplex even the most stoic leader of Europe's seven Great Powers!

The orders submitted for Spring '01 - and the results - were as follows:

Despite the fierce fighting; there are no retreats pending, (although the bold Turkish Fleet on Bulgaria's South Coast, which helped to prevent Italian incursion into the Aegean, can count itself beleaguered at best and so the following mail shall contain both Spring movement as well as Summer maps. In case it doesn't reach you, the maps will, of course, be posted shortly on the DipCorps site.

Orders for FALL 1901 are therefore due to me in one week hence - no later than Tuesday 1st July, at 3pm BST. PLEASE get your prelims to me NOW!

Many thanks for your continued participation. This looks like it is developing into a very interesting melee

Yours
