GM’s remarks:
My apologies for my tardiness, all orders were in on time (thank you). However Real Life intruded and took me away from my computer for a few hours.
A couple of you have asked for “General Logistics” help. I have looked into whether the DiplomaticCorp site provides this service. Unfortunately, it does not at this time. However, I suspect that this service will be available in the near future (within a year or so) and may even include “Mentoring” for those whom are new to the game.
In the mean time, I am open to providing “General Logistics”. How this would work is; you provide a hypothetical situation, I will provide you the results of the situation and the reason behind the results. I will not offer input on alternative courses of action or what your opponents might do to counter your hypothetical. You will get only the results of your hypothetical situation, no mentoring. In my opinion, downloading RealPolitik would be more helpful; but, if you have no other option, I am available.
Also, per the house rules, it is your right to ask for a second opinion from another GM. If you think I have miss-adjudicated something, I will never be offended by this request.
Enough of my jibber jabber (as if any of you really read all of this anyway); see the results of the season below and as attached.

Retreats:
The Turkish A in Constantinople can retreat to Smyrna or OTB.
The Austrian F in Greece can retreat to Albania or OTB.
The English F in St. Petersburg (nc) can retreat to the Barents Sea or OTB.
The Italian A in Tyrolia can retreat to Bohemia, Piedmont, or OTB.
Normally, when there is only one province or sea zone available for the retreat, I will exercise my prerogative as GM to do the retreats automatically. However, in this case, Italy has more than one option. So, the rest of you get to choose from the single available province (or sea zone) and retreating Off-the-Board (OTB).

Deadline:
Fall Retreats 1902 Deadline: Monday; September 14, 2009; 24:00 hrs GMT.
I have set the deadline for Monday because I know there are a few players out there that do not have computer access over the weekend (whether they are among us in this game or not, I do not know). However, I will post the results of the retreats as soon as I have all of them.
Map of the moves, map of the results, and the dpy file are attached for your use.
Best of luck in the next season,
Darryl (GM)
