FYI, I’ve got the webpage as updated as I can for now. I still need to tweak the last turn once retreats are in, but we’re back up to date. Here’s the link.

Those are the nice side-effects of a Dip game: You don’t simply have fun, you also find opportunity to exchange your experiences from all fields.

There should be some good comments coming.

I’d understand why JC can’t build in Naples, but I’m pretty sure my build there should have worked.

Sorry for the winter turn delay. Revised maps and schedules have gone out.

**JC** , if you don’t get the letter soon, we need to figure out alternate arrangements.

What a curious little game. What is it, 1907, and still no one eliminated? But France’s grip on this mortal coil is definitely looking tenuous at best. Nice small comeback from ze Germans. And it looks like **McG** is definitely benefiting from his, ahem, “relationship” with the GM. JK!

And Shibb you should know that the only person I run all my orders by is you.

The Russian defenders are just dressed in very good camoflage, they are there butcha can’t see 'em. [sub]I secretly acquired a large quantity of English Marine uniforms to clothe my troops, blending in until just the right moment.[/sub]

I am still waiting for one set of winter orders. We’ll have spring due on Monday at 5 p.m., assuming the winter orders are in today.

Well, sounds like a no build situation. If it’s a disband you need, RP does it automatically if you don’t enter them.

Man, this game is so rigid about when orders are due. Pretty soon some yahoo is going to disappear for 10 days for vacation.

If he doesn’t get to me by tonight, he’s SOL.

BTW, what is the RL (and/or proper) procedure for disbanding units. Waived builds are easy enough to handle.
