A lively week ended with the 19th update.
CallMeFodder's naval air reportedly penetrated Sun's airspace and bombed
a bank. Robotron expressed his outrage at this murder of innocent gold
bars. CallMeFodder's marines hit the beaches soon after.
Meanwhile, FreeBeer continued his drive into wales, and Thistle kept up

news from the frontlines...
Heavy Plastic II is in full swing. Most petty dictators broke
sanctuary on time.
Those who were late were assisted by the kind and benevolent gods, who
also are giving

This report covers two weeks, because I was offline last weekend.
Friday was our 16th update. The skirmish between Thistle and Wamic
escalated, and Thistle appears to gain ground slowly against determined
resistance. Wamic's ally DevilDog started to harass Thistle.
Hostilities between wales and Aquitaine heated up as well. wales

We're now ten updates into Hvy Plastic 2, and tensions are rising. The
Empire News reported skirmishes between Aquitaine and wales, Aquitaine
and RimFire, Sun and CallMeFodder, Thistle and Wamic. In other news, we

newly acquired guns and torpedos on the high seas. Wamic was first to

When I applied the diffs last night, I got rejects all over and
then it occurred to me that my "bleeding edge" CVS tree was a rather
blunt one at 4.3.11, and way behind your current announcement of
4.3.24 :-) After a bit of checking, everything was easily restored
from the ".orig" backup files.
Thanks again also to both you and Gerd for the quick git primers.
