Orders are in! Quite the dull events for most of the south, but fireworks in the north, including a rather obscure rule being dragged up to help resolve things.

Here is the video of the orders being processed.

Here is the map showing all movement lines.

Here is the map post-resolution.

Below are the texts of all the orders.

So, the obscure rule I mentioned had to do with the combination of Russia's convoy attacking Sweden while Sweden is supporting an attack from another province onto the fleet doing the convoying. Without this particular rule, with diagram 30 showing it off, you could have a paradox. In our case, Russia can say "my army disrupted the support from Sweden, therefore the convoy was successful, and Sweden is dislodged"; whereas England can argue "But your convoy was disrupted, therefore it never happened in the first place". The rule on page 16 of the rulebook states - "A convoyed army does not cut the support of a unit supporting an attack against one of the fleets necessary for the army to convoy". The book then gives an example much like our own situation here. So, the adjudicator is correct in this instance, and the rulebook confirms it. Sorry Skyrock.

So, Italy and Russia have retreats. @Jidlaph, your fleet in Aegean Sea must retreat to either Bulgaria (SC) or the Eastern Med. @Skyrock, your fleet in Baltic Sea was also dislodged, and must retreat to one of Livonia, Gulf of Bothnia, or Prussia. Both of you, please get those orders to me within 48 hours if at all possible. I have no retreats, so at your earliest convenience, please. If they are not in on time, the units will be disbanded. Remember you may also voluntarily disband the unit if you so wish.

I will post the beginning of the Fall turn once the retreats are in. Good luck everyone.
