ARCHER - Spring 1903
GM Ally Bain
Which way are the Russians going to move, Berlin or Warsaw or somewhere else? Turkey did the obvious, marched to Moscow.

England convoyed to Picardy & Germany convoyed to Livonia. Austria used plently of effort to go to Tyrolia but not needed as Italy walked away.

Sorry France, it looks like you're being very bullied.

See press!

PRESS

ALB: I know it's a couple of months away but Xmas & New Year are approaching. When you sent your orders in will you mention your arrangements as if some of you are away over that period of time, I'll extend the deadline.

Rom Govt: The Italian Govt would like to apologise unreservedly for their accidental invasion of Austria and subsequent careless attack on Vienna and Trieste. We would ask the Austrian Govt to observe the smooth and orderly manner of our retreat, and to refrain from kicking our butts until we can set up a solid defensive line.

Con Govt: Wanted: Trained sled dog teams, willing to exchange for camels, goats, or wives. Contact Turkish Embassy.

Archer is also the palindrome of "Rehcra" which is, of course, the Kilngon word for egg salad.

ALB: George A Archer & John W Daniels formed Archer-Daniels Linseed Co in 1903. In 1923 the pair bought Midland Linseed Products Co & formed Archer Daniels Midland Co. Problem is that in 1997 they had to settle about a dozen lawsuits due to them pleading guilty of fixing the prices for food-additives lysine and citric acid.

Autumn 1903 deadline: 7pm GMT, 19th November 2003.
