#594 gained 4247 acres from his three hits. LaF's posted retal policy indicates they consider an appropriate response to be 6:3 or L:L.
Instead, they responded with 42 hits within the retal window, netting 9180 acres. By their own policies, they grossly overretalled. As the situation was already strained from their systematic farming and our NM response, we did not retal these overretals.
After the retal window expired, #36 helped himself to 2338 more acres in 7 grabs. (Two other LaF countries also made an additional 5 hits and gained 1633 acres)
#594 retaled #36 with 1798 acres in 3 hits.
#36 RoRed for 1989 acres in 4 hits.
#36 was killed by PDM after making a total of 17 hits on #594
--------------------------
The purpose of this post is simply to preempt the spin. PDM-LaF relations have been very poor for quite some time. In a stated effort to improve relations, we signed a two-set pact with them. The pact expired this set, and LaF demonstrated their low opinion of PDM with systematic farming aimed at undermining our retal capacity. We are very familiar with this scenario and have little use for LaF's vacuous attempts to placate us with a DNH after they bend us over.
We consider the situation with #594 complete (we'll discuss with laf before killing the other countries currently farming #594) and wish to state our deep regret over the utter lack of respect LaF shows us set after set.
