SHANNOW - Spring 1903
GM Andy Scott
English and Turkish forces meet on the Mos/Sev Border which caused concerns in both armies as they had both been expecting to make contact with the Russian armies!
Whilst these Two powers eyed each other up the remaining Russian Forces were seen on a mass migration towards Austria although one had also wandered into Silesia which will most likely not please the Kaiser or the Archduke!!
In the West however more pressure was piled upon the French president with his only hope being the inability of Germany and England to coordinate their attacks against him!!!

PRESS

Andy-All:
Please don't forget the retreats and BUILDS for Autumn 1903.

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-All:
"Archduke - Boy I hope Italy and Russia don't attack me this turn.

Par-All:
Oh darnit...
Let me put this straight: I am not going to surrender to any enemies, nor am I going to surrender to any of my allies. I, and I alone, will command my units till I am gone. If you want the use of France's centers or units, either capture them, or ENLIST them. With support form Italy, or maybe with England betraying Germany, France can still be saved, and will prove a most valueble ally.

Par-All:
- Bye Guys. No-one will Diplome with me any more so I've had enough. I'm sick of knocking on Brick Walls, so to add some spice to the game, I've proxied my Units to Turkey. Cya. Gonna concentrate on 'Wobbegone'.
PS - Dave asked that I not tell anyone, so don't pass it on!"

Excerpt from The London Times
"Last years' polls stated that 63% of England believed we should not be at war. This was staggering, and yet immediately afterwards the military seemingly attracted another enemy in Russia. In response to the attack, the Prime Minister announced "England wishes no war with Russia, we just needed to made a statement to the rest of the world that we have the capabilities of ending this war. We would however request Russia's help in doing so." Directly after the announcement, polls reported that 76% of English believes with Russia's help, we could see a speedy end to this war we so greatly wish would end. Time will only tell if the Russian Tzar will agree to this arrangement and stop all this needless bloodshed."

Andy-All:
The Deadline for the next turn is actually four weeks away and not two, this is simply because my holiday falls slap bang across the next deadline and rather then mess everyone's schedule up we will keep it simple and take a two week extension. It had been my origanal intention to put all my games etc, on a data stick and do them whilst on holiday. However my wife has taken a dim view of this idea and veto'd it so I'm afraid the extension it is!

AUTUMN 1903 DEADLINE: 09:00 GMT, Wednesday 30th August, 2006.
