Hi guys,
ok, here come the Spring 1655 Moves. Sweden's now on the endangered species list, while a paralysed England is rapidly deteriorating. All arguably good news for a burgeoning Denmark.
As for the Turkish victory watch, the Sultan has occupied the Ukraine. Were everything to remain as right now, Turkey would win the game this coming winter.
I'm afraid I also need to keep nagging you for orders. This causes irksome adjucation delays and makes running the game less smooth than I'd like the task to be. So let me again appeal to you: Help me out here.
Happy dipping!
Charles
