If Ken doesn't ask, someone else will, so I think I should clarify what happened in Norway.

British Fleet Norway and Russian Fleet Baltic Sea both try to get into Sweden unsupported, and create a stand-off situation.

Russian Fleets St. Petersburg and Barrents Sea team up to invade Norway. Since British Fleet Norway was prohibited from moving to Sweden, it is in danger of being dislodged.

British Fleet North Sea Convoys Army Edinburgh to Norway, expecting it to be vacant. Due to standing-off in Sweden, it's not, so It has to stay in Edinburgh, even though it was supported by Fleet Norwegian Sea (you cannot support a move that would dislodge one of your own units, even unexpectedly). Since Fleet Norwegian Sea supported (the now irrelevant) Army Edinburgh, and not the bounced Fleet in Norway, Fleet Norwray is still facing 2:1 odds from Russian Fleets Barrents Sea and St. Petersburg. It is Dislodged, and Fleet Barrents Sea moves into Norway.

Because of the stand-off this turn in Sweden, British Fleet Norway can't retreat there. All surrounding territories are occupied except Skagerrak, so that is it's only retreat option.


Thank-you, thank-you... I'll be here all week.

uh-oh... ken's turn to be pissed off at me. Sorry boss, but that's how it is. Took me 15 minutes to figure all that out. Oh well, it's unlikely he'll be able to hold it, it just kinda delays your maurading zombie hordes for a turn.

[emperor ken]

nah im not pissed.. some one has to make the calls on this game.. thats why there is someone adjudicating.

Whoops...




It was pointed out to me that I made a mistake here... goddammit.
As per page 8, diagram 10. It was the Convoying part that screwed me up. I apologize. I will give Russia and Britain an extra day to complete their orders due to my fuck-up. Sorry Mitch. Sorry Ken.

Because there are still 2:2 odds going in to Norway (convoy or no convoy), both sides stand off, and British Fleet Norway is NOT dislodged. (It still causes a stand-off in Sweden, however.)

my, that was humbling.
