The editors from NEWS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE fell asleep last night before finishing their articles, so all we have are headlines today:
Amazingly long convoys raise the question: How can a unit get from Mexico to Chile in one season but it takes two seasons to get from Chicago to Atlanta?
Terrorist strikes rock South America. Argentinians are said to be considering a change to their current motto: "Don't Cry For Me".
Pirates continue to wreck havoc in the waters around Malaysia. Seriously. If you are the admiral of a fleet, we recommend you stay away.
That's all from NEWS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE. Good night and good news.
GM Notes:
We bid farewell to two more nations this year: Sweden and Venezuela. A quick shout out to Venezuela for surviving as long as she did.
A third nation, Japan, is on the brink of elimination. Japan currently owns 1 supply center, but it is under bombardment. As such, it cannot sustain any units.
We had two NMR's this season, from UK and Egypt. Their units held. Many of them were dislodged. Retreats from UK, Poland, Russia, Egypt, and Mali are due tomorrow at noon eastern.
