TUNISIAN PM URGES MAJOR POWERS TO RESPECT NEUTRALITY OF NON-WARRING NATIONS!
(Tunis) Speaking from the presidential palace, the Tunisian Prime 
Minister Isa Nowae today issued an urgent appeal to the seven major 
European powers, encouraging them not to expand the reach of the 
present war.  "The conflict already encompasses portions of two 
continents, and there should be no reason to involve a third.  In 
addition, we urge the Kaiser to evacuate the Dutch capital 
immediately and leave the present Dutch national parliament in 
session."  It was clear that the Prime Minister was concerned that 
the Tunisian agricultural output of olives, dates, and oranges would 
prove tempting to the many larger countries now struggling with 
prospect of feeding thousands of troops in the field for an 
indefinite period, possibly many years.  There has been no response 
from any of the warring nations.

GM Notes:
Note the lengthy separation between Winter, '02 and Spring, '03.  I 
have been informed that one of our players will be out of town for 
two weeks beginning August 14th, so I have tentatively set the 
deadline for that turn for the first Wednesday after he returns.  If 
we can tighten up that schedule at all, I'll let you know.

A word about misorders seems appropriate once again.  I have revised 
the game reports so as to give a complete listing of unit positions. 
I do not review submitted orders for accuracy unless you explicitly 
request that I do so, so unless you make that request, you need to 
proofread.  And I refer you once again to section 4 of the House 
Rules regarding abbreviations and typos.  If you are using an 
abbreviation and make an error, there is frequently nothing I can do. 
If you need the House Rules re-sent to you, I'd be happy to do that.

Play on.  Map sent separately.
