Notice: Attempts to sabatoge Italy's lines of comunication did not work. Despite the suspected bribery of the neighbors dog, the severed lines have been restored.

Rest assured, Italian Authorities are investigating. When they discover who was behind the sabatoge retribution will be swift and deadly.

Translation-the neighbors puppy chewed through the phone line-I don't know what it is with that phone line and dogs-this is the 4th incident this year

Damnit, they assured us that this was a fool proof plan. I do hope I kept the receipt somewhere for that silly dog, err, I mean ...

Baklava anyone?

(Seriously though Fridai, the fourth time? I thought phone lines were in the air? Can't you slap some conduit around the thing?)

I'd threaten to send a flock of trained birds to poop on you-but since it's concidered good luck in Turkey to have a bird sh!t on you-it would probably backfire on me.

The phone line that goes into the house runs through a box that is about 1/2 foot off the ground and about 10feet away from the kitchen door(the house is about 25years old, so maybe that's why it's down so low?). Our dog tore it out three times, Buddy tore it out once. I'm hoping the pepper spray on the box discourages him . When our dog did this the first time, I was playing Diplomacy game 1. That dog was an Austrailan Sheppard mix-This guy is a pit bull matif mix(he's a doll actually- a great dog but YOUNG and in that chewing/destroy everything stage)

The phone company knows me by name

1903 Spring Orders

The following are the orders received by your GM Katrinka.

All orders were successful unless otherwise indicated.




Austria-Hungary
Quote:
Army Ukraine supports German Army Warsaw's attack on Moscow
Army Galicia supports Army Budapest attacking Romania
Army Serbia supports Army Budapest attacking Romania
Army Budapest attacks Romania
Failed:
Quote:
Fleet Greece supports Italian Fleet Ionian attacking Aegean
Greece is unable to lend support to the Italian Fleet from the Ionian in its attack on the Agean because the Greece Fleet is dislodged by Turkey's attack with its Fleet in the Agean supported by its Army in Bulgaria.



England
Quote:
Fleet Edinburgh to Clyde
Failed:
Quote:
All others hold
While "all others hold" is not a valid order, the units still hold since a unit not provided with a legal order is considered to be held..
From the rules: FORMAT. In each set of orders, the space each unit is currently occupying is written first, followed by its order.



France
Quote:
Army in Belgium supports Picardy
Army in Picardy supports Belgium
Army in Burgundy moves to Gascony
Fleet in the North Atlantic moves to Irish Sea
Fleet in Brest moves to English Channel
Fleet in Mid Atlantic supports the move of Brest to the English Channel


Germany
Quote:
The wise Warsaw army, which has long wished to see Three Sisters performed in its original tongue, marches on Moscow.

The learned Livonian army supports the Warsaw army's advance into Moscow.

The diligent Denmark fleet, currently engaged in collecting and cataloguing Scandinavian folktales, swings into Sweden in its ongoing search for new material.

The scholarly Silesian army motors into Munich for a postgraduate exam in Eastern European literature.

The knowledgeable Kiel army supports the Silesian army's move into Munich.

The heady Holland army, continuing its horticultural experiments, holds.

Danke schšn!


Italy
Quote:
Italian Fleet in the Ionian Attacks The Agean

Italian Fleet in Venice moves into the Adriatic Sea

Italian Army in Tunis moves into North Africa

Italian Army in Rome Moves into Tuscany


Russia
Quote:
Her Majesty, Tsarina Ekaterina the Pretty Good, issues the following orders:

Army Moscow to Sevastopol
Fleet Sevastopol to Black Sea
Fleet Sweden to Norway
Army St. Petersburg supports Fleet Sweden's move to Norway

per Disputin, shadowy adviser


Turkey
Quote:
Our fleet in the Agean Sea attacks Greece in order for much moustalevria to be procured in an effort to help celebrate the littlest Diva’s birthday today. We would also ask for the continued suspension of the hands involved in the burgeoning baklava business blooming before them in Bulgaria in order to allow Bulgaria to support the fleet in the Agean with their attack on Greece.

The army at Constantinople will support Bulgaria in case there arises some problem in procuring the moustalevria from Greece and an urgent need for extra hands in the previous baklava baking should arise for the evening’s planned birthday celebration.

The fleet at Smyrna wishes to set sail to the Eastern Mediterranean to allow for continued Christmas ornament distribution as well as the possible recall of several ornaments and musical scores that were mistakenly sold to naughty people.

Saygılarımla,

Turkey's Divine Diva and her Diminutive Diva (who is already just a wee bit festive *hiccup*)

1903 Spring Adjustments Required.

Austria-Hungary
The Fleet in Greece was dislodged by an attack from Turkey's Fleet in the Agean with support from the Turkish Army in Bulgaria.
Please submit retreat (or disband) orders for your
- Fleet from Greece



England
The Fleet in Norway was dislodged by an attack from Russia's Fleet in Sweden with support from the Russian Army in St. Petersburg.
The Fleet in the English Channel was dislodged by an attack from France's Fleet in Brest supported by the French Fleet in the Mid Atlantic Ocean.

Please submit retreat (or disband) orders for your
- Fleet from Norway
- Fleet from the English Channel



France
No adjustments required



Germany
No adjustments required



Italy
No adjustments required



Russia
No adjustments required



Turkey
No adjustments required




Adustments
If a unit is dislodged then its owner must provide a retreat or disband order.

- A unit may retreat to a space to which it could ordinarily move if unopposed by other units
- It may not retreat to an occupied space
- It may not retreat to the space its attacker came from
- It may not retreat to a space left vacant due to a standoff (in this season).
- Retreats may not be convoyed
- Retreats may not be supported

If it is not possible to retreat to an eligible location then the unit must disband.

Even if there is an eligible location for retreat the owner may chose to disband instead of retreating.

An example of a valid retreat order is:
's in wishes to retreat to .

An example of a valid disband order is:
wishes to disband its in .

If no retreat orders are received then the GM will disband the units.



Adjustments are due by 9 PM EST on Wednesday June 12th.

Thanks!
