GUPPY - Spring 1904 GM Ally Bain
Russia is trying to stop Germany's plod but it might need to look at home & other supply centres & work see how to react to Turkey, Austria & England. Austria, even though moving into a Russian supply centre, has one of theirs moved into by Italy.
France has to figure out what they are going to do with a German army in Gascony.

By all means send them but if I think they might break the secretive nature of the game, I will not include them. It may be that their intention was not to break the rule but I am not taking the risk. Vie: I wriggle like a fish in the bottom of a boat. My dying wish to pierce the hand that caught me. Rom-Con: As I deliver your 8 metric tons of pasta, I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I indulged myself in your fine Turkish bath houses. Rom-Par: Just make sure that Uncle Otto's brief visit leaves your vineyards intact for me please. Rom-Vie: Yes, the pasta is freshest straight from the source, except they forgot to teach me that in 'pasta school'. Rom-Lon: Ya can't blame Mr. President Loubet for trying to deliver his wine shipment, can you? Con-ALB: I resent your last statement. Turkey did not "do nothing" last turn. Sultan Abd al-Hamid II thouroughly enjoyed his cruises on the Black Sea and in the Med. ALB-Con: OK, I will re-write is for your benefit: Germany's plod moves into France, who does the same to England, who does the same to Russia, who does the same to Austria, who does the same to Italy! At least Turkey did something! Happy? Autumn 1904 deadline: 19:00 BST, 29th April 2002.
