Wow. What an interesting game! It seems as if all countries, have lone wolf territories under their control. Yo Germany. That Army in Tyrolia is doing a lot of good, isn’t it? Yo France. Careful of taking an Italian up the backside. Yo Britain. Just for fun, try to convoy your York army over to Picardy. Shake things up. Yo Italy. Your army in Bohemia is more useless then the German army in Tyrolia, and that’s saying something. Yo Turkey. I predict that you will not win. Prove me wrong! 😉 Yo Austria. It’s not fun to be besieged from all sides. Yo Russia. Splitting the enemy in two is a tried and true military tactic. I assume you and Austria aren’t allies. 🙂 That’s the **Soup du Jour** recap, having not seen the orders or any previous maps! The game looks good. ---

I gotta leave work in an hour, and I have a whole bunch of crap to take care of when I get home. Hurry up and post the adjudication while I’m still at work and I have some free time! ---

Sheesh! The guy turns orders in at the deadline (they weren’t here by 5) and then gets all like attitude ‘n’ stuf. Whuzzup wi’at? I’m working on it. ---

Adjudication emails are out. White “Mr. Patience” Lightning’s letter will go out later tonight. ---

Gee thanks **Abe**. 5 minutes left here. (Just in case it’s not clear, I am being facetious. I know that I was one of the orders you got at the very last minute, if not a little late.) Uhh… **Abe**? That map looks a little… strange. Kind of familiar, actually. ---

It’s not so much that it’s _wrong_. I think it’s the map of our S02 results. I imagine if the retreat gets in soon, **Abe** will send out a realistic map, but I did one up for my own benefit. If anyone wants to see it it’s [here](http://www.geocities.com/inthetank2001/minime_so4.html?1046382681022). ---

You expect too much out of Abe Babe. His wife is happy if he just makes it into his dribble cup most of the day. ---

I’d have preferred the other one (and I think Germany too), but never mind. ---

Too bad that first map was wrong… I thought that the Germans had somehow staged a miraculous comeback. But the real map is even funkier. Comments to follow later. What a wacky game! ---
