[Alf]

bump, and move by IanW

Army Galicia is retreating northward, to Silesia.

And in case anyone is wondering, they coincidentally (!?) already have valid German entry visas ... it's not like
this "tactical northward repositioning" was unexpected or
anything.

PS : SkyDog, can you please post the builds here with the new map ? And please convert the map out of BMp into png or jpg or gif, please

[Ben E Lou]

Once I receive all the builds, I will post.

[Rembrandt]

OK, this is getting out of hand.

[Alf]

I emailed everybody and only received one reply so far for builds...

I sent mine in Sautrday night/Sunday morning(I forget which but it was on time) :)

[TredWel]

I sent mine in way back on Sunday morning.

[Rembrandt]

I sent mine in on Friday, but it wasn't hard to decide on only one unit.:D

[lcjjdnh]

I sent mine Friday

[ratpfink]

Alas, I was the late one. I thought I had sent my build but I did not for some reason. I did send it immediately on Tuesday after getting the e-mail about it.

[Ben E Lou]

got 'em all now....i will do the adjudication later tonight or early tomorrow

[Alf]

Cool, back again ! Time to prepare for next moves. When should we have them ready ? Tuesday is reasonable to everyone ? Or should we target for Next Friday ?

[Ben E Lou]

Ugh...the Dog has been fighting sickness all week, and today is my worst day. I've got a fever, and no mental energy to do a full adjudication. Copying and pasting from e-mails and y'all can figure it out from there. Next orders due a week from today.

A Galicia retreats to Silesia.

Build A Budapest, A Vienna.

England builds:

F Lon

Build F Brest


Germany builds : F Kiel - A Berlin

My sole build for 1901 will be F Naples.

Build Army in Warsaw

Turkey wishes to build a fleet in Smyrna.

[Alf]

thanks. Hope you'll feel better quick

[Rembrandt]

Get better Ben!! Zinc lozenges are da bomb!

[Radii]

bumping this since I was just looking for it and it had fallen a few pages :)

[IanW]

Austrian Government Condemns Russian Invasion

Vienna : The lights are going out, all over Europe. A situation
that was tense but manageable has been thrown into open war
by the crossing of the Austro-Hungarian border by elements of
the Russian Army of the West.

Turkish army elements have likewise clashed with elements of the
Austrian navy, invited into Athens to restore order at the express
request of the Greek government. Mr Koutafides, the Greek
Foriegn Minister, said that "We survived four hundred years of
Turkish slavery. Never Again".

It is exected that the Austrian government will attempt to activate
it's system of alliances, in order to stop the Russo-Turkish Axis.

I guess they shut down the old board, so I can not get to the old message. Does anyone have the list of email addresses, I never took the time to enter all them in my contacts list. Thanks in advance

[Radii]

So, the obligatory DMZ in the English Channel lasted exactly 2 turns :) Nice to see it equally and mutually broken!

[lcjjdnh]

Retreat to Ukraine

[IanW]

Originally posted by lcjjdnh
Retreat to Ukraine

Austrian General Staff Amazed

Vienna - "This wasnt our plan. Really. We didnt intend to rout
the Russian invasion ... we meant to pin them in place, while our
Northern allies did all the hard sledding in the North.". More analysis on p6.

Viennese Bakers bake War Cakes

Vienna - Due to the questionable supply situation in Austria, Viennese cakes are now being made using reduced amounts of butter. A prominent Viennese baker, Mr Schultz was quoted ass saying "We must reduce it to three pounds of butter and six eggs per batch of pastry. It is our patriotic duty. Chocolate rationing will be the next step"

Austrian Troops Welcomed Back

Galicia - "You have seen off the Cossacks. We thank you". These words were the quote of the headmaster of Prydnzyky High School, the only building left intact by Russian troops during their hurried retreat from temporarily-occupied Galicia. It is believed that the Cossacks saw the latin motto above the schoolhouse, and refused to burn the building, believing it to be a church.

Austrian Army Gets Lost in Balkans

Sofia - Very confused Austrian troops milled around the city today, as their disorganised headquarters planned for their resupply after their "probing attacks" on the Turkish defenders completely destroyed the Turkish Army of the Bosphorous.
It is thought that the devestatingly accurate naval gunfire support from the Austrian Fleet was critical, as was the morale boosting effect of the the Austrian Navy Boys Choir. Some of these "boys" were rumoured to be recruited from the Vienna branch of St Trinians Girls Finishing School.

********

That last story actually happened in Germany in the 1813-1814 campaign btw.

No, no, no.

The French shouldnt ever stab into the English Channel. They should stab to the North Atlantic ... the English tend to defend southern England :)

SkyDog, for god's sake, I need to teach you how to convert a picture into something else than BMP

[Alf]

dola, it's not a BMP, it's a HUGE jpg. You can delete it, I'll post a picture later tonight (French time).

SkyDog, for god's sake, I need to teach you how to convert a picture into something else than BMP I know how to convert to lower resolution JPG. I see no need. Better resolution helps insure no mistakes.

[Alf]

Sure SkyDog, higher resolution => better view, but this picture is HUGE and I can't even download it form home (modem access is really slow)

[Ben E Lou]

Hi all! I'm sorry that I have been out of the loop all week. I just started a new job, and I've been there a lot. Please send any Dip email there now. The address is: [email protected]

Here is the Spring 03 map

[Alf]

bump since SkyDog is apparently browing the board (any idea when you can adjudicate ?)

[Ben E Lou]

Just woke up. After a weekend with kids, I have the day off. I'll adjudicate some time this morning.

[Alf]

Cool. I knew about your week-end. Hope you had a nice weather. FYI, I was just in a call-conf with one of our boss in Atlanta, he seems to get up early too !

On another note, I sent you an email where I said that I was not going to be connected to internet from Saturday March 8 midday till Monday March 17 midday, and I requested that we hold moves for that week, since communication is critical in Dip.

Thanks. I am having fun playing this game.

[TredWel]

Any word on the adjudication, or did I just miss it?

[Alf]

I PMed and send SkyDog an email. No adjudication yet. I saw he was online earlier today, but not anymore.

I am off to bed now ! See you all.

[Ben E Lou]

My apologies. Things have been *REALLY* crazy around here the last day and a half. I THINK I'll be able to do it dark and early tomorrow morning.

[Alf]

As I already said in this thread and in emails to SkyDog, this is my last internet contact for the next 10 days. See you March 18 guys !

I will spend the next 10 days in the Alps (mostly skiing !!!!!!!)

[Rembrandt]

Have you ever felt forgotten and un-loved? Whoa is me :(

[Ben E Lou]

Dude, I'm an idiot. I completely forgot! Been crazy, but things are starting to slow down. I'm out the door for club in about 5 minutes, but I can do it early tomorrow morning. Setting a reminder in the PalmPilot right now. Doh!

[Radii]

We got time with Alf gone for awhile anyway. Too bad this wasn't done before he left though, I have been looking forward to this turn!

[Ben E Lou]

Whew! Life's been crazy lately, but it is looking to slow down now that most of the work is done for the release party. I'm REALLY sorry this has take so long. I've got the board out and am going to the Yahoo account right now to do the adjudication.

We’re going to have to delay until Alf (Germany) gets back. He returns on Monday the 17th. With all the stabs and whatnot, I KNOW you people will do some dipping before the builds/disbands. I think it would be fair to give Alf a couple of days to be involved as well, seeing as he has two disbands. I’m setting a build deadline for 6pm EST on Wednesday, March 19th. (That is one week from today.) Wow!!! What a turn!!!!!!!!!!

[Radii]

damn damn damn. I had a 50/50 shot of holding my own centers and i would have felt *much* better about this turn had that worked out.

Bump.

Orders due today.

[Ben E Lou]

Whoa. I just checked. Only one set of orders out of seven is in. Sending e-mail to everyone as well.

[Alf]

Any update ?

[Ben E Lou]

Well, I checked last night and only 5 sets were in. I haven't checked this morning, but I know I don't have time to adjudicate today. I had set time aside yesterday, but today is the CD Release Concert. I'm just checking in here for a sec, and I probably won't be on any more today.
