100 years ago the Battle of Pozières ended. Part of the Somme, Pozières was a struggle over a small French village that cost the Australians as many men over six weeks as they lost in the entire Gallipoli campaign, yet you probably never heard of it. Perhaps if Mel Gibson was in a movie about it . . .

We still have six powers! I need retreats from Turkey and France. Get them to me ASAP please, no later than Wednesday August 10 at 9pm. Please get me your builds by Thursday August 11 at 9pm Eastern. Hope to have Spring '08 due on Tuesday August 16th. Let me know where I screwed up.
