X-RAY TETRA - Spring 1901 GM Ally Bain
I have played Diplomacy for c. 20 years & tonight I am seeing an opening move that I have never seen before, thanks Russia!
France seems to like the English Channel but I wonder if England wished they did not.
Austria set out their table but I do not think they want pasta & vodka to be shown.

One player did not submit their orders within the deadline for provisional/final. That date is for me to be happy that all players are playing. I was able to find another player who submitted their final orders. In case any of you do not know, the subsequent orders must equally have possible retreats/disbands, possible builds/retreats (in autumn moves) & conditional press. If any of you forget, I will have to disband any retreated unit, you would not get any builds, if required & I will have to decide any disbands, if required. If any are unsure, please write to me. Lon: Stay out of Switzerland, or you will face the murderous wrath of 987 421 Scottish fishermen, all thirsting for blood. ALB-Lon: As I am a Scot but not a fisherman (keeping tropicals if different) I suppose I am not one member of the ' murderous wrath'. Ber: I announce that Denmark is now a protectorate of Germany. Continental powers will prevail. Ber-Rom: The antic Roman Empire will be restored. Viva the Duce. Autumn 1901 deadline: 19:00 BST, 24th May 2002.
