PRESS Andy-All: Please don't forget the retreats for Spring 1905. Andy-All: Please can you all remember to label your orders with the game name - Your power - and the season the orders are for. Aus-Ber: Hello...... (Silence) I said hello....? (More Silence) It seems the lights are on but no-ones at home.... Fra-ASE: What happen to the amusing ALL SEEING EYE ?. With Germany's NMR last season and no ASE, do we draw the conclusion that the Editor is ............. Fra-Peter Moran: Because there has been more deceit from Austria, Italy will last far longer in Bane than you ever imagined. !! Ita-All: TOM, I'm relieved you got 'my' orders in very early last season and averted an Italian NMR. I have to say I thought you played a blinder for my beloved Italy. With cunning, you successfully blocked the progress of your ally, Austria, and saved me from losing another centre. Thank you. I would dearly love to manipulate this seasons lottery so that you are the winner again, but my inbuilt sense of fair play ( unlike James's ) does not permit this. This seasons lucky winner is Richard. Good luck. THE ONLY TRUE ITALIAN - P.M. Spring 1905 DEADLINE: 09:00 GMT, Monday 20th November, 2006.
