Well, be careful, all you lot. If there are that many loose Muggles in the countryside, then surely the Death Eaters have plans for tracking them down. They'll be less likely than ever to ignore any hint of activity in the forests or abandoned towns.
As for wands, there we have some headway. Not much, but I think Marguerite and Aleks have managed to put together a nice bundle of, say, another couple dozen, that we can bring through when we meet at Midsummer's.
Transportation is a little more difficult. I heard from Marguerite and I don't know how, but that extra budget allocation Crouch and Malfoy mentioned recently must have gone directly to seeding their European payroll. We'll keep trying, but it doesn't seem like it's very safe on this end. I was right about their anticipating another run - which also means they may have realised the weakness in their own wards.
Frank, mate, if you're reading, be extra careful when you set out - I strongly suspect they'll have fortified the borders, maybe even protections on any vessel coming too close to the ward lines - or going too far out from the coast.
