this is the most complicated turn yet, and I started class yesterday. Would everyone agree to a 24 hour extension to the deadline?

I think that's fine.  If someone disagrees, they need to give a convincing argument.  Until then, deadline is midnight Friday night -7/8 GMT, which is in about 64 hours.

Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking in that last post.  I guess I thought yesterday was Wednesday on my side of the globe.  (Wishful thinking.)  So deadline's in 2.5 days, unless that's too short/long for some people.

do you expect to be able to tell us what build/disbands we have by tomorrow morning then? Or will it take you some time to figure it out?

If I get all the orders in I think I'll be able to send emails out.  I'll use the computers at my wife's work.  But it wouldn't be until noon or after your time, SE.

Okay, I have Italy but no France yet.  What do you guys say?  Should France default, or should we pester and get orders from him?

well, i needed leniancy myself this turn, but he's already almost 3 days late with the extended deadline. I think that he should have till the end of today (which gives him 4 days past the original deadline) to get them in. Then, we stomp him.

Sorry - work's busy.

Austria
F Adriadic - Ionian
A Kiel - Holland
A Belgium S A Kiel - Holland
A Munich - Kiel
A Bohemia - Munich
A Tuscany S A Piedmont

France
A Ruhr - Belgium
A Holland S A Ruhr - Belgium
A Burgundy S A Marseilles
A Marseilles S A Gascony
A Gascony S A Marseliles
A Brest S A Gascony
A Picardy S A Ruhr - Belgium

Italy
A Piedmont - Marseilles
F Lyon S A Piedmont - Marseilles
F Spain S A Piedmont - Marseilles
A Mid Atlantic - Brest
A Venice - Piedmont

Russia
F Barents Sea - Norwegian Sea
A London - York
F North Sea S A Kiel - Holland
A Denmark S A Munich - Kiel
A Berlin S A Munich - Kiel
A Silesia S A Bohemia - Munich

No retreat orders are necessary this round.  The French army in Holland and the Austrian army in Belgium were forced to retreat, and as there was nowhere to retreat to they were both disbanded.
Russia failed to take possession of London as it moved out of London and therefore was not in possession at the end of a Fall turn.

Note: it occurs to me that Russia and Austria may have intended to cooperate in Austria's retreat from Belgium, using the fleet in the North Sea to convoy it to London.  If this was the case, it wouldn't be allowed.  The rules state that units needing retreat orders are to write those orders down.  It implies that units not needing retreats do not submit retreat orders.  A convoy order requires two orders to be submitted: the army to be convoyed and the fleet doing the convoying.  As the fleet doing the convoying would not be retreating, it could not submit an order during the retreat orders phase, and any retreating army could not be convoyed to safety.  Hence, the Austrian army in Belgium disbands.

Now that I'm reviewing the rules again I also notice that they state: "A dislodged unit must retreat to an adjacent province..."  London is not adjacent to Belgium.  This latter argument is a little more clear.  In any case, both arguments stand.


Builds
Austria: 3

Disbands
France: 1

Austria and France: please submit your build/disband orders as soon as possible.
