You tried to move Panama, but Peru also tried moving to Cali and you both bounced.
What the fuck do you want me to do with my armies, shove them up my ass?
THAT’S BETTER THAN HOLDING!
I NEED TO MAINTAIN POSITION AND I'M NOT GAYTHAT’S BETTER THAN HOLDING!
HOLDING WAS OBJECTIVELY INCORRECT AS YOU SHOULD HAVE SUPPORT HELD YOUR OTHER UNITS IF BLUEDOOM ATTACKED WITH SUPPORT
NONE OF THE WORDS YOU ARE SAYING MAKE ANY SENSE
TLDR HOLDING IS DUMB. I DON'T HOLD BECAUSE I'M THE SUPREME DICTATOR OF CHILE AND I NEED TO MAKE SURE MY TROOPS DO WORK EVEN IF IT'S COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY MEANINGLESS
SOUNDS LIKE A BREACH OF LABOR LAWS
Winter 1843 Builds
Armies or fleets? It seems like fleets are the solution for most of the Powers lucky enough to ponder this question during the winter.
It is now Spring 1844. Powers should submit orders to me by Thursday, August 6th, at 9PM PST (GMT-7). Deadlines will remain flexible to account for my schedule, but don't push your luck!
GM's Notes:
I was excited to see what the British builds would be, there were a lot of interesting possibilities, but this seems like a safer route. No fleet in the Falklands could spell trouble in the south...
The other builds are fairly unsurprising, although I'm sure pulsar wishes she could afford to put a fleet down. Raider units are no joke!

- Argentina's A S.F.V.C. moved from Chaco Austral last fall, but I failed to reflect this in the post-movement map. That issue has been fixed, and the unit is now shown in its correct location.
Spring 1844 Moves, Part 1
The British are coming, the British are coming! Those Caribbean fleets are heading closer to Spanish territory in a hurry, and intentions are rarely peaceful when that happens. Meanwhile we've got chaos between Chile and Argentina, pandemonium at the Panama Canal, and multiple rambunctious raider units from the USA and New Granada!
The following units have been dislodged:
New Granada A Panama (retreat to Costa Rica or disband)
If your units are on the list of dislodgments, I need retreat orders from you in the next 24 hours; I will finish the update once that has happened.

Fall 1844 Moves, Part 2: Triple Retreat Troogaloo
Here's how the board looks at the end of a firecracker of a year:
RETREATS:
Argentina A Asuncion retreats to Rio Grande do Sul
Argentina A S.F.V.C. retreats to Corr.
New Granada A Caqueta retreats to Amazonia
SUPPLY CENTER CHANGES:
Great Britain has gained control of Yucatan, Havana, Santiago de Cuba, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., and New York City, but lost control of Surinam (+5 builds)
Chile has gained control of Cordoba and S.F.V.C. (+2 builds)
Venezuela has gained control of Panama and Surinam (+2 builds)
Brazil has gained control of Asuncion (+1 build)
Mexico has gained control of Veracruz (+1 build)
Peru has gained control of Hawaii (+1 build)
New Granada has gained control of Alaska, but lost control of Panama and Hawaii (-1 disband)
Spain has lost control of Yucatan, Havana, Santiago de Cuba, and Puerto Rico (-4 disbands)
Argentina and United States have lost control of all their remaining supply centers (-6 disbands), and are thus eliminated from the game. Aura Guardian you were dealt quite a bad hand for this game, and I appreciate your clever defensive and diplomatic efforts in spite of this. M2H this may have been your first game, but I think you did really well under the circumstances. Understanding how the board works always comes with time; the hard part is knowing how to negotiate, and you clearly have a grasp on that already, so I think you'll have a ton of fun if you stick with the game from here.
It is now Winter 1944. Build orders should be submitted to me by Monday, August 12th, at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
GM's Notes:
I never did a GM's Notes segment in the Spring! Whoops! Anyway, we finally have our first eliminations, and honestly they both make sense. The US and Argentina are two of the weaker Powers on the board, and one of them was piloted by a new player. I should also take this opportunity to apologize for the irregular deadline enforcement and update cadence, which will be over soon; my vacation will be done by the time I'll need to make the Spring '45 update.

Corrections:
- The Spanish F Florida held in place, but this was not acknowledged on the Fall movement map.
- Puerto Rico is now under British control despite still being colored pink... try not to look at it.
- The Chilean F Patagonia moved to Pampas, but this is not acknowledged on the post-movement map. The fleet is still in Pampas, and Patagonia is therefore vacant for a build.

Winter 1844 Builds
Even with all the room in the world to build whatever units he wants, Great Britain has still somehow forgotten what an army is. Fascinating. Meanwhile, other parts of the board are forgetting what a fleet is!
It is now Spring 1845. Powers should submit orders to me by Thursday, August 15th, at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
GM's Notes:
With two Powers gone from the game for good, we can quickly see how the alliance structures on the board have gotten us to this point and who's benefited the most. The Britain-Mexico-Spain partnership gunned down their initial target in the United States, but Britain has already turned on Spain, indicating the next stage of the conflict. Britain is the obvious board leader, and only the very south of the map is safe from their influence; down there, the Chile-Brazil alliance has made short work of Argentina, but Chile now has a major center advantage and a lot of armies that need something to do. Will they go for a stab, or venture north towards Peru? And what will happen to the Falkland Islands? Another shoutout goes to Venezuela, who has been showing the value of restraint and slow play in his strategy; Jalmont has managed to gradually grow and snag the critical center of Panama without making any true enemies besides New Granada, who is fighting a two-and-a-half-front war at this stage.

- Chile was allowed to build F Patagonia despite the previous map showing Patagonia as occupied; this was a mistake, and that fleet was actually in Pampas, leaving Patagonia vacant.
Spring 1845 Moves, Part 1
With two contenders out of the running, two questions dominate the board: who will fall next, and who will benefit most from it? Given current events in the center of the map, I'd look there for your answers.
The following units have been dislodged:
New Granada A Bogota (retreat to Cartagena or disband)
New Granada F Cali (wc) (forced disband)
If your units are on the list of dislodgments, I need retreat orders from you in the next 24 hours; I will finish the update once that has happened.

Dots, dots, dots! Britain's gobbling them all up like it's a fire sale! Everything must go!

Fall 1845 Moves, Part 2: Where'd those Spanish fleets go?
It looks like South America has every color of the rainbow on it now! Good job, Britain! Might need a bit more orange/purple, though.
SUPPLY CENTER CHANGES:
Great Britain has gained control of Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Sao Salvador (+3 builds)
Peru has gained control of Bogota and Cali (+2 builds)
Mexico has gained control of Alta California, and had a unit destroyed (+2 builds)
Venezuela has gained control of Cartagena (+1 build)
Brazil has lost control of Sao Salvador (-1 disbands)
New Granada has lost control of Bogota, Cali, and Cartagena, but already destroyed two units (-1 disbands)
Spain has lost control of Haiti and Santo Domingo, but already destroyed two units, so they have no adjustments.
Chile has not gained or lost control of any centers, so they have no adjustments.
It is now Winter 1845. Build orders should be submitted to me by Wednesday, August 21st, at 9PM PST (GMT-7).
GM's Notes:
I expected Peru to quickly start another war with New Granada on its last legs, but Mexico was a surprising target to me! Bluedoom was the only player in this whole game to remember what a convoy is until recently, and he certainly reminded us of that here. Skillful defensive maneuvers by pulsar kept her western flank secure, and now with a new build she should be a bit more secure despite the British fleet in her home waters. I find it quite funny that such a large tactical scuffle between Chile and Brazil resulted in no centers changing hands.

Corrections:
- During the Spring phase, maps incorrectly showed the British F Santiago de Cuba as being located in Jamaica. This was fixed before it could affect any movements, and the order lists from Spring and Fall (as well as the Fall maps) are correct indications of British unit positions.
- On the movement map, the movement arrows for Chilean and Brazilian units around Corr. are incorrectly colored. The Brazilian unit has a red arrow despite its move being successful, and the Chilean unit had a partially black arrow due to a layering issue. This did not affect the actual orders or results of the turn, and everything there has been adjudicated correctly.
