Alright, folks. The antibiotics I'm on right now are making me drowsy. Since this turn only has one person making an order (and they have so astutely pointed out that there is in fact only one legal move to make) I am going to adjudicate it an hour early so everyone can get on with the next phase.

Russia:
Russia: A Mos - Liv

Thus begins the Fall 1903 ORDER Phase. The deadline for orders will be 10:00 PM EST / 2:00 AM UTC on Friday, March 22nd.

Venice has armies from 5 different countries on its borders. Don’t think I’ve ever seen something like that before.

Sorry... my bad. Sad

It was a "retreat / Disband" gig, so had assumed that other players losing control centers would have to make difficult decisions as well.

Haven't played for a couple years and did not consult the rules before posting. Wink

All good. It can get confusing sometimes. That's the procedure for the Build Phase, which is coming up.

Technically should only be either (5) countries including Italy in and within the borders from Venice, and the photo should only include (4) individuals behind the sofa (Assuming that Venice is the individual sitting and meditating on the sofa).

I remembered what I believe was another odd difference in the original 1958 game, having to do with cutting support.  Presently, a unit being attacked can't cut support of the attack on itself -- but in the original game, it could! 

To illustrate, suppose there was an Austrian army in Constantinople, with Turkish armies in Smyrna and Ankara, and no other units in position to affect things.  In the modern game, Turkey can successfully dislodge Austria by having either Smy or Ank support the other into Con.  But in the original game, the defending unit had a 50-50 chance of guessing right and cutting support, defeating the attack.  That is, if Turkey ordered Ank-Con, Smy S Ank-Con, an Austrian order of Con-Smy would cut the support and the attack would fail!  (If the attack had come the other way, Ank S Smy-Con, it would succeed.)  Allowing the defender a 50-50 chance of surviving in this situation was clearly an imbalance, and is undoubtedly why the rule was changed.

Note to everyone: I will be undergoing a medical procedure on Friday and will be unavailable after the morning hours.  If I don't answer you during that time, that's why.  If there's a deadline that falls on Friday night and I have orders due for it, please extend it by 24 hours.  Thanks.
