We're Still Here Say the Swiss

Contrary to reports of the Swiss being "eaten," Swiss President Oskar Tannenbaum reassured reporters that Switzerland was just fine. "Perhaps they meant they ate our fine chocolates? They're quite delicious." The press conference then broke up as the reporters and president snacked on Pralienen.

OoC: The map has been corrected. The only error was Russian A gal. Also, 24-ish hours warning for Fall 1906 orders.

[Neftren]

Austria Hungary can only build in Trieste, so I'll make it an army. No brainer about that.

[Moody the Wise]

Disband A Arm

Also, I'm going to post my next order here. Of course there is the possibility that I'm lying, but all concerned persons will need to make their own judgments about that.

F Con-Aeg

Good hunting.

Germany
A ven supports F tys -> lon Support cut by move from pie

wait what exactly is this supposed to mean? lol because thats not even like a legitimate order. or is it just supposed to be a BS order by germany?

[Elektro]

The order was A ven supports f tys -> rom. It failed by both the move from pie and that it was an invalid order. Sorry about that. Merry Christmas all.

Ah I see. Well thanks for clarifying, and...

French Prime Minister Stezerok would like to wish all of the nations of the world a Merry Christmas!

[Highwarlord]

Merry Christmas and Vodka to All!

[Neftren]

Are we still on? I've been waiting for the retreat orders since before the holidays.

[Elektro]

Are we still on? I've been waiting for the retreat orders since before the holidays.

We're still on. Forum overload has prevented me from updating, but I should do so tonight. I never got an order from F nap, so it disbanded. I think I have everyone's build orders.

[Elektro]

I only have orders from Mavian and Neftren as of right now (thanks!). Please post here if you are playing either way. Stezerok, I know you sent me orders earlier but they have been lost in my PM box. If I don't get anything else by Friday, I'll find replacements.

[Neftren]

Does the winner or joint team winners get trophies like in your All Stars game?

[Mavian]

Just bring this back to everyones attention

[thewamp]

Hey, I'm beginning another (youngstown) game. Just giving a head's up for any of you interested in joining. I'll be GMing a standard one starting in early February, as well.

[Elektro]

The above post means it is time for us to decide our course of action. Moody, Neftren, and Mavian are all still in. England, Turkey, and Italy are dead, and do no need replacements. France and Russia need replacements. Moody can take one and I can find someone quickly to take the other.

Do you want me to look or do you want to call the game dead?

[thewamp]

I could also join in this game, if you need someone, by the way

[Elektro]

Okay everybody, here's the deal.

Neftren - Austria-Hungary
Mavian - Germany
Moody_the_not_so_Wise - France
thewamp - Russia

England, Turkey, and Italy are all in civil disorder (all units hold) so feel free to kill them.

Unless you all give me orders before then,

Spring 1908 Moves are due Monday, 28 January at 2200 EST (0300 GMT)
