PRESS

Andy-All:
Please don't forget the retreats and BUILDS for Autumn 1902.

Andy-All:
Please can you all remember to label your orders with the game name - Your power - and the season the orders are for.

Ger-All:
BERLIN, Germany - The German government has expressed outrage at the French bulletins suggesting that German solders would have no use for women... They are exceptionally good at many tasks such as for labour in armament factories and meal preparation. Something I'm missing? What?! Stop snickering!

In other news, the mainlanders are hoping that the main communications cable that seems to have been severed to the Isles is reconnected as soon as possible. Rumours persist that all communications has been blacked-out from the western tip of the Channel all the way to the Barents and possibly extending beyond that region...

And finally, in a potentially related matter, German families are still concerned for loved ones vacationing on the beaches of Constantinople during the outbreak of the current military unrest... It seems that all inquiries relating to this and other matters have been flatly refused by the current Turkish government. The German government is doing all it can, but fears the worst may have happened. If there are any other nations out there that may be able to pass along notes from loved ones, our government would be greatly in your debt.

Rus-GM:
"renowned mentally unstable players"?

You didn't tell me I was the only sane one here!?

Andy-Rus:
That's because I'm not allowed to lie to you!

Andy-All:
Thanks to all who contributed to a great press week and long may it continue!

AUTUMN 1902 DEADLINE: 09:00 GMT, Monday 17th October, 2005.
