Original Orders:
Only one small TT change, but the implications were pretty significant for Egypt, Carthage, and Persia. Retreats are due 7/19 at 0500 UTC (0100 EDT).

Persia gave too many orders. They only had 6 units in Spring 3AD when it was the present, but provided 7 orders.
Gauls (Ad Arma) 3-way, Russia (Othello) 4-way, Austria (Crowded Othello) Solo, England (Devious GM 2) Solo, Egypt (Time Travel) 3-way, (Exploration: Great Expeditions) Solo, Han (Warring States 2) Solo
By the game rules, Gal-Mil will need to go unreported. This will cause Byz-Mil to succeed. I do not believe it changes anything else. This sucks given there is a hold above that could have been unordered, but alas the rules are clear and don't give wiggleroom.
The rules were open for comment for some time before the game began, and no one commented that they believed they're was a problem. If you're curious, it's designed as a balance issue to keep players from entering dozens of orders for every possible map/territory combination.
I admit that when I wrote the rules I didn't foresee the situation where a player orders a number of units more than their total at the start of the phase but equal or less than their total when the phase actually processes. There may be room for a tweak there before game two.

I mean I ordered the amount of units now avaliable for the present.
Also remember you I only rejoined the game during the country distibution.
