PRESS

Andy-All:
Please do NOT forget to include retreats in next season's (S03) orders!

Thanks to all of you who took the time and effort to send press. If anybody foresee's problems with forthcoming deadlines over the holiday period then please let me know.

Eng Govt.-All:

England wishes to warn Austria and Italy of the

dangers of the Russian Turkish alliance and

offers to lend its assistance in settling any disagreements

the two countries may have. Only united can Austria

and Italy survive the combined forces of Russia and

Turkey.

Rome-All:

Excerpt from "The Selected Works of Caligulini: Grand Art and Great

Thoughts".

"Hark, hark, I hear the calling of the sparrows guided flight in north

african beauty and meaningless discussion. The dark flow of deep rooted

rafts of Anatolian measure seeping into the harbours of this Middle Sea of

life, the Roman lake of ancestoral worship and the anger manifestation of

bottomless gods. The horse springs forth onto this land, and as an

Aeneadian seed the stocks of barrels grow to flowing wines of celt like

gauls and the sunken lands of worthless design, the Varian legions march no

more for the works of lesser men are in play and the slave like winter of

the northern reach has passed unto us all his gifts of drink in blood.

"Hark, hark, I am the one to raise it all . . . Hark, hark, I am the god of

you all."

Spring 1903 DEADLINE: 2100 GMT, Sunday 15th December 2002.
