Oooh…
He’s getting snippy!
The Dip 1040 Spring 1905 map has been updated with Austria’s retreat. Have a Dippy weekend! 
It’s cold and rainy here, and I’m awake since a couple of hours. Any news from the Russian front?
I still need 1046 orders from 1 of you. Get them in, please.
I’ve already submitted orders in 1046 for Turkey, but in the interests of alacrity I’d be willing to submit the missing set as well…
That 1053 game is interesting. So many opening bounces!
How in the world did Germany persuade France to order A Mar-Spa in the Fall? His diplomatic stance wrt England seems fairly transparent, especially given England’s F Lvp build – about as far from anti-German as you can get. I’m sure Germany’s promised him support into Sweden in return for moving against France.
He’s definitely looking good, though.
I think the most important relationship in that game right now is Austria/Turkey. That could potentially have a lot of impact on how things turn out. If they can find a way to cooperate against Russia, Austria could go far. And if Turkey can convince Austria to cooperate against Russia, Turkey could go far. I’m definitely not liking Russia’s position at all.
What have you guys done with Lemur? “Stabbing” is NOT a term to be taken literally, y’know.
Someone else mentioned in email that he hadn’t heard from Lemur in days. Neither have I. Not that he’d have anything to say to me.
I imagine it’d be the sporting thing to do to wait out the weekend before starting to look for a replacement.
I hope everything’s okay with him. Second at least waiting out the weekend to find out what’s up.
On the other hand, we could try to line up a replacement now and designate Tuesday morning to go ahead without the Lemur. Or something along those lines.
BTW Dave, while I’m thinking of it, thanks for sending over the RP file to cue the game up.
I guess my point is that it’s not as if he were getting his butt handed to him in this game. He was doing quite well. If he’s not sending orders in then I’m genuinely concerned.
I’ll jump in as a replacement if it’s needed.
I last heard from him on the 18th. That’s what…Friday?
So it’s not like he isn’t around and active.
Well, it’s good that he’s talking to people, but it does make me nervous that France is talking to England but not Russia. Maybe we should NMR him…

France’s orders are in. Adjudication shortly.
It’s done. I need 4 retreats by tomorrow morning, faster would be great.
Jeez am I stupid.
What? France, even with Marseille open, has no build.
JC, what are you talking about?
