Diplomacy Overpopulated Diplomacy - Fall 1911

Winter 1905 Builds
This is quite an unusual situation; I don't see three different players waiving builds in the same year very often! One of those waives was forced, mind you, but still highly irregular!

It is now Spring 1906. Powers should submit orders to me by Sunday, June 15th, at 9PM PST (UTC-8).

GM's Note:
Turkey is still playing and waived their build by choice; that position is not currently in civil disorder.
 
Spring 1906 Moves
The east may continue to grind on with little progress (albeit a small amount in Italy’s favor), but the west is still a very dynamic theater! If this keeps up, we could be in for a very thrilling 3- or 4-way endgame…

Fall 1906 Moves
Another turn, another clean set of orders with no retreats! That's not to say nothing is happening, though, at least in the west... in the east there seems to be some kind of ceasefire while diplomatic channels are re-established following a bloody war. Will the sudden French excursion into Italian territory change the nature of those conversations? Come back to find out in 1907!

SUPPLY CENTER CHANGES:
Balkans
has gained control of Ankara and waived a build last year, but lost control of Smyrna (9 SCs, +1 build)
England has lost control of Norway and St. Petersburg (2 SCs, -1 disband)
France has not gained or lost any supply centers, but waived a build last year (6 SCs, +1 build)
Germany has taken control of Norway and St. Petersburg (10 SCs, +2 builds)
Italy has gained control of Smyrna (8 SCs, +1 build)

Turkey has lost control of Ankara, and is eliminated from the game. M2H thanks again for playing, I can always count on you to add a lot to the board with your analytical style. I do wish you'd continued playing a bit longer once your homeland was breached, though; there were some really fun opportunities for you to mess with the status quo we're now seeing in the east.

It is now Winter 1906. Powers should submit build orders to me by Wednesday, June 18th, at 9PM PST (UTC-8).

Frankly, I'm stunned. Gobsmacked. Flabbergasted. Swept off my feet. You know why? Some eastern units actually moved this turn! The Balkan armies pivot northward to head off what may be early signs of a German offensive; speaking of German offensives, they've occupied Burgundy and Norwegian Sea as well!

The fireworks in Russia continue, Italy snags a build, and England maybe isn't completely boned! In yet another surprise for this year, we also have a retreat of some description, although LN was kind enough to give it to me before I even had this post finished, so it'll still be a single-part update.

Wow, there seems to be a virus circulating this board: do-nothingitis. Everyone here has taken turns being the one to completely freeze their position and, well, do nothing! This time it's Germany catching the deadly infection, possibly to the detriment of his relationship with Italy.

Today we have something that somehow seems to be getting even rarer than me shipping an update on time: a retreat! Italy draws blood as the Balkan armies abandon their front with Germany to reinforce the area, and the other western powers only get to watch the fireworks.
