SQUIRES/TEDRICK DIPLOMACY: SPRING 1911 RESULTS (Flames to tedrick@ernie.berkeley.edu) (Notes: I got 2 sets of orders from the 2 German players. I hope I used the right set. The other set would have resulted in one difference, that the fleet in Kiel would now be in Helgoland. Default retreats/builds may be made by GM if none included. We have been having mail problems lately. Could someone send a copy of these results to France please?)
