Re: [eia] France jumped the gun!

Just to give you all a heads up.  The Spanish naval phase will not change from anything France has done.  Just wanted to let you all have a heads up in case we decide to keep what we have already done.

Just to clarify; no one insisted on anything. In talking, I asked Jim not
to take his land phase before Spain's naval phase in the future, since GB is
at war with both France and Spain, now. I should point out that having any
power at war with two others at the same time has only come up in the
present game since Spain declared war on Turkey in September. Jim
volunteered to reroll the seige of Brest (and also to roll the siege he
hadn't rolled yet, at La Rochelle) if the Spanish naval phase hadn't already
gone out, which it hasn't. Again, I didn't require Jim to do this, only to
watch out for the problem in the future. Jim wanted to set things right for
the present turn, if it could be done without making Danny change orders he
had already sent out. That's what happened.
