Theo, we have all made mistakes in our turns and several of them were
acknowledged and allowed to be restored. We recently added the pending tab in
Trello in order to allow us to post issues that need to be resolved either due
to actions through our turns or due to issues we forgot to post in our turn.
In this case however the decision to leave a garrison in Vienna was allowed on
your turn, so you had all the time until we posted our turn in order to check
if you forgot this action and post a pending “task” from your side.
Since the battle was in Austrian turn I do not believe that you were allowed to
drop a garrison and reinforce with the remaining corps. You should leave one
corps behind in order to secure the city. This decision had nothing to do with
the timing we decided to roll the battle. If I am correct there were 2 days
between the day I posted my turn and the time we resolved the battle so you had
sufficient time to see the situation and decide your actions based on the
scenarios that would occur.
My strategy for example included both the insurrection corps and the fact that
I could possible lure you out of the city with your entire forces since Makis
has already stated that he will join the battle.
Mistakes are part of the game, we will make many more in the future and we all
have the approach to resolve these issues in a friendly manner. We challenge
decisions, rules and we allow for corrections in most of the occasions.
But most of all, this game (as every game) is for fun! Don’t try to make it
typical, read the rules 300 times, play your turn in a week etc!
Mistakes and die rolls are the spice of the game!!! 😉

Point of the round was to capture (and hold) Wien. Didn't intend to leave it
ungarrisoned, thought there was a factor there. If I was in front of a computer
yesterday, I'd see this and leave a factor behind as I headed for combat (by
mentioning it I guess - since I couldn't send a turn file on the spot). In any
case, for the sake of speeding things up, since we are not in front of a board,
some unintentional mistakes like this are to be made especially considering we
decided to use other means of communicating outside CB (e.g. phone/mail). And
its not like the time the Austrian corps interrupted my turn. I also didn't
mean for that to happen as well but that was caused by not being careful
enough, not by a false knowledge of the situation...
Anyway, if you wish for the game to proceed at slower pace (me double checking
everything, proceeding by the book) and let it be decided by the exploitation
of involuntary slips, be my guest, Wien is uncontrolled.

Not much to discuss, Turkey intended to place 1 factor inside but never
actually did it on CB, then reinforced with all his corps believing he had
already done it. We play as things are in CB, so Vienna is free for ECO.
please proceed with your updates so that GB can play his land.
