So… What’s going on with this?
So whose orders are missing?
I appear to be the one holding things up. I wasn’t aware that the game had a new deadline and I never got updated maps with retreats. Since I’m the guy stuck on the bottom of everyone’s shoe I don’t suppose there’s much need to delay the game much longer. Once I get a updated map I’ll do my best to get orders in to move things along.

Awaiting orders from Russia and Spain momentarily (already sent emails, so no need to send another)
This is ridiculous.
I vote we NMR if powers don’t feel like submitting orders on time.
Two NMR on the same turn from powers that aren’t exactly dead yet would probably spell the end of the game. I’m willing to give them some more time, but I’m starting to see the handwriting on the wall here.
Russia and Spain are basically gone. I say if they don’t put in orders, just have Wevets enter support orders.
Got orders from Russia - that’s good enough. I have dinner with my brother, then I will come back and run the turn for you all.
Cheers! 
I’m really not concerned with who is doing it, just that it still continues to happen every single deadline.
Frankly I think you have it, but I’m willing to play this out as long as it doesn’t take us 6 months to finish.

I’ll need retreat orders for:
Ukrainian Armies in Rostov and Odessa
Turkish Army in Donbas
Italian Army Venice
Polish Army Austria
Let’s have those by 11 PM Pacific Time July 27th
And from here on, I’ll enter defensive supporting orders for any power with 4 or fewer units if orders aren’t in by the deadline. That should speed things up. Bigger powers are out of luck if they go NMR.
Apologies for my part in the delay - I failed to enter the deadline into my calendar and was blissfully unaware that it had passed. Fortunately, it didn’t take me too long to decide what to do when wevets’ email arrived ![]()
