The Italian Rulers also wish a fast recovery to the English Queen. Perhaps some pasta and wine will help!

Janice | Welcome back-Good to hear that you are feeling better-if you had to miss a season, missing the first was probably better than missing a latter move.

The following are the orders received by your GM Katrinka.
All orders were successful unless otherwise indicated. Austria-Hungary Quote:
Count Redlord was busily thumbing through maps and discussing strategy with Austria's Archduke when a timid knock interrupted them. He opened the door to find the Countess' chambermaid.
"Milord," she says with an embarrassed look. "The Countess is having nightmares again. Herr Docktor Franz says the only thing that will cure them is a regular diet of galumpkes."
"Is he certain?" the Count asks with alarm. "How can we get them? And how quickly?"
Herr Docktor Franz pushes aside the young woman and bows stiffly to the Count. "Have no fear, Count Redlord. You merely need to send a small supporting escort with me to Poland while I retrieve a most excellent chef who resides there."
"Done!" ordered the Count, turning to the Archduke.
"Order Army Galicia to support Army Silesia into Warsaw."
The Archduke's eyes grow wide as he says, "But, sir, don't we want to wait for our shipment of caviar to arrive first?" He looks nervously at the doctor and leans over to whisper in the Count's ear, "We're expecting certain strategic documents which await your approval and signature. This food run might endanger future shipments."
The Count glowered at the Archduke, "You would endanger my wife's health and mental well-being?" He turned angrily and picked up the Archduke's coat--the one with coencentric white and red circles--and tossed it at him. "I will hear no more. You will take ship immediately to see that our other orders are carried out."
Sadly, Archduke Ferdinand boarded the waiting ship, hoping for a quick return home, and gave the orders:
Fleet Albania to Greece
Army Serbia supports Fleet Albania to Greece | England Quote:
Fleet Edinburgh to the North Sea
Fleet London to the English Channel
Army Liverpool holds.
| France Quote:
Army in Burgundy moves to Belgium
Army in Spain Holds
Fleet in Mid Atlantic Ocean moves to Portugal
| Germany Quote:
Enclosed please find Germany's marching orders for Fall 1901, as follows:
The superb Silesian army, seeking new dancing partners, waltzes into Warsaw.
| Failed: Quote: |
The debonair Denmark fleet sails to Sweden for the second leg of its Scandinavian tour.
| The German fleet from Denmark and the Russian Fleet from the Gulf of Bothnia each tried to take Sweden. Neither unit had support, therefore they bounce and each must return to their starting point. Quote:
The kleine Kiel army heads into Holland, to see if the Deutsche and the Dutch can come to terms.
Danke schšn!
| Italy Quote:
Army in Venice moves to Tuscany
Army in Apulis Moves To Tunis
Fleet in the Ionian Sea convoys Army in Apulia to Tunis
| Russia Quote: |
Her Majesty, Tsarina Ekaterina the Pretty Good, orders as follows:
| Failed: Quote: |
Fleet Gulf of Bothnia to Sweden
| The German fleet from Denmark and the Russian Fleet from the Gulf of Bothnia each tried to take Sweden. Neither unit had support, therefore they bounce and each must return to their starting point. Quote: |
Army St. Petersburg to Norway
| Failed: The German army from Silesia was ordered to Warsaw with the support of the Austrian Army in Galicia. The Army from Ukraine is outnumbered and may not move to Warsaw. Quote:
Fleet Rumania stands
per Disputin, shadowy adviser
| Turkey Quote:
M'am, the two Turkish Divas wish to allow their fleet at Constantinople to sail into the Agean Sea in an attempt to spread the love of a good Turkish musical, possible Christmas ornament distribution, and baklava to those less fortunate.
We would also like to move the army at Ankara to Constantinople in order to be able to continue the baklava manufacturing while the army at Bulgaria holds in the event they may need more hands for the burgeoning baklava business blooming before them.
Saygılarımla,
Turkey's Divine Diva and her Diminutive Diva (in training)

Oh this is just wunderbar! The Axis is working very nicely, indeed while there seems to be no follow through on initial Russia / Turkey deployments.
Nevertheless, the fact that there is no action on Black Sea suggests some kind of arrangement...
Big question for the next year: what direction France is going to turn to?
I wish galumpkes were easier to prepare but if that's what it takes, the Polish cooks do have excellent reputation.

| | 1901 Fall Adjustments Required. | |
Austria-Hungary No Adjustments required England No Adjustments required France No Adjustments required Germany No Adjustments required Italy No Adjustments required Russia No Adjustments required Turkey No Adjustments required
Okay, so I'm sure we all knew there were no required adjustments, but I thought I'd make it official If adjustments had been required they would have been due by 9PM EST today (Wednesday).
