| DC464 Fall 1906 - Zoterik (Jan 11, 2014, 10:09 am) |
Well now, what have we here? A poll of Muskovites reveals that a record high no longer consider themselves a part of Europe, a sentiment likely shared by the leadership who are content to sit in Moscow and wait for the war to unfold without them. However, the war does now claim its first victim, as Italy goes down after waiting for death. Thank you, Wladimir, for your participation! If you do not wish to continue to receive adjudications, please tell me at any time.
Austria continues the two-front war to moderate success, claiming both Munich and Greece, at the cost of Rumania. England still lives, retaking London with German support after French offers of Belgium go unheeded. One wonders if France regrets not taking Liverpool at the first opportunity! Three units were dislodged, but the retreat turn is quite easy to manage and we can advance to the Winter.
Both retreats and adjustments are given below the orders. The deadline for Winter 1906 is 14 January at 08:00 GMT.

| DC464 Summer - Zoterik (Jan 05, 2014, 9:39 am) |
The German fleet retreats forward to English Channel. Fall 1906 orders are due 11 January, 08:00 GMT.
Housekeeping notes
1. I will get the map to you as soon as I can. I recently purchased a new laptop and I'm in the process of transferring everything. For now, simply keep this retreat in mind.
2. On Thursday the 9th, I will be moving to Moscow, assuming that I get my visa from the Russian embassy AND the weather cooperates. There are many things which can go wrong here, so I don't know if it's going to work out, but be aware that I will likely be unable to confirm your orders if you send them after 16:00 GMT that day.[Reply] |
| DC464 Spring 1906 - Zoterik (Jan 03, 2014, 12:22 am) |
The outbreak of war between Austria and Turkey is now indisputable. The red armies siege Greece, but are repulsed by stout defensive efforts. The Black Sea is still fairly peaceful, while the Mediterranean continues to be the scenes of Turkish and French stalemates over the remnants of an Italy which finds itself adrift between Sicily and Sardinia. Continuing past the French-controlled Atlantic Ocean, the English Navy made some headway in reestablishing its dominance of the North Sea, albeit only with the support of France and with the loss of its Danish holdings. Austria and Germany appear to have established a tentative peace. And I'll have to check my records, but I have the nagging hunch that the Turkish orders are identical to those from previous years.
England is now on the ropes once again and faces elimination, while Russia and Italy may be saved solely by the inability of the greater powers to decide whose claim to Tunis or Moscow is most legitimate. Force alone will determine the fates of the white and green, I suspect. One unit was dislodged. The German F NTH requires a retreat, which will be due on 6th January at 08:00 GMT. If received earlier, I will adjudicate the Summer ahead of schedule.

I hope everyone is having a pleasant holiday. A bit late, but I have builds for you. I'd like to sneak in the Spring 06 turn before the New Year, but I realize that could be a bit much to ask. So the deadline is set for 30th December, but if I don't get everyone's orders I'll wait until 2nd January.

| Dc464 Fall 1905 - Zoterik (Dec 20, 2013, 1:31 pm) |
The holiday season brings cheer, goodwill, and peace on earth... in another game, perhaps. Not here. Here the fighting continues, and again there is no possible alliance that I can see; the only places where the top four aren't fighting are the places where it is not (yet) possible to do so! Then again, I only get the superficial view.
Italy and Russia are knocked down to one each, while England stays at one and stays alive floating around Denmark. Two units were dislodged and both have but one possible retreat, which I will order. If Austria or France want those units sent OTB for an extra build, let me know. Germany retakes Belgium and Warsaw, Austria completes the conquest of the Italian peninsula, Tunis remains a stalemate.
Adjustments can be found below the orders. Winter 1905 adjustments due 23 December at 08:00 GMT.

Is anyone at peace? Anyone? I look at this map and I see only one real evidence of cooperation, between Austria and Russia. But Russia's fortunes have changed for the worse, while England faces elimination and Italy finds himself crushed in an ever-more-crowded Mediterranean. The four major players all seem to be fighting each other: Austria vs. Turkey, Germany vs. France, Turkey vs. France, and Austria vs. Germany. I can't figure out who is supposed to be on the same side here, and that makes this game really one of the most interesting I've had the pleasure to witness.
No units need to retreat, so our Fall 1905 deadline is 20 December. Then we'll adjourn for the holidays. No one has told me of any holiday plans yet, so I expect only a minor interruption.

My apologies for the delay; sometimes life gets in the way and this time it's women. Why is it always women or work?
But I really have no idea what's going on here now. I looked at these orders and figured that England was bowing out of the game. Well, maybe its his misfortune that he's still kicking! France does the unthinkable and passes on an open Liverpool; whether that was intentional or otherwise I have no clue. I received no orders from Italy; Wladimir if you sent them I never saw them. Two units were dislodged but neither has a retreat so we can skip over Autumn and go straight to Winter, a season which is very good for Germany and Austria, although Turkey and France do get something out of it too.

| Dc464 Spring 1904 - Zoterik (Nov 23, 2013, 4:01 am) |
There are some times in GMing when I can sense what's going on in the minds of the players, and I feel that I know what's going to happen. Today is not one of those days. I looked at the battle in the West and I saw Belgium ripe for the plucking by France. Nope. France instead sneaks an army into Wales, and I am left dumbfounded to ponder my own timid moves in various games. All three English home centres are threatened this turn.
One unit needs a retreat. Italian A Venice can retreat to Apulia, Piedmont, Rome, or Tuscany.
Summer 1904 deadline is whenever Italy sends me the retreat, or 25 November at 08:00 GMT, whichever comes first.

| Dc464 Fall 1903 - Zoterik (Nov 14, 2013, 1:40 am) |
Following the restoration of the Russian monarchy, Russia loses... zero centres. The repercussions of the Third Tsar have already begun to reverberate, as the Austrian-Turkish agreement is looking a bit frayed, while Germany now finds himself facing hostile English and French aggression on one end, and Austrian and Russian cooperation on the other. Italy, no doubt, is breathing a sigh of relief. 1903 is, I think, the calm before the storm. Only one center changed hands, leading to a dislodged unit. The one build is Austria's, but with only one free home centre, the build is almost certain.
The German A Warsaw can retreat to Silesia or Ukraine, or OTB. If not disbanded, another unit will need to be pulled.
Austria can build one unit in Budapest, or waive the build until later.
Autumn/Winter deadline is 16 November at 08:00 GMT. Let's have a quick phase before the real fun begins!

Rather than jumping on a Russia in civil disorder, everyone appears to be jostling for position, which means that if ever we get a third Tsar there may be quite a bit of chaos. Italy looked primed for a crushing defeat before France turned around completely. The French homeland now is full of troops with nowhere to go. But there must be a destination in the minds of French high command. England attempts to put significant force on Sweden, but is rebuffed, although still has an advantage on Sweden or Petersburg, whichever he chooses. The Austro-Turk alliance, buoyed by the absence of an army in 1901, looks strong and may have some teeth!

The winners of 1902 is Germany, while Russia is most certainly the loser. With a massive effort, England takes Norway but loses Belgium to Germany. France and Italy spar in Piedmont but a convoyed army in North Africa puts strain on Tunis while Turkey easily retains Greece and Austria takes over Rumania. Before our winter turn, we do have some retreats which must be done, and I'd like to have those by 27 October at 08:00 GMT. And this time, I'll make sure to adjudicate on time.

Here you go, gentlemen. Not much moved this turn, and I suspect a lot of you were hedging your bets against a stab. Or, those of you who find yourselves in open conflict can't yet seem to get ahead of the game. But let's see how it goes! I apologize for the late adjudication; I spent the weekend in Moldova without internet, but I'm back in relative civilization now. Peace reigns in the west, while Russia finds himself in a tough spot. Turkish growth continues, and we will have war over the Western Med! So, we have one unit dislodged and I'll need the Russian retreat as soon as possible so that we can continue to Fall 02.
Russian A Galicia can retreat to Bohemia, Ukraine, or Warsaw. Summer retreat deadline is 16 October at 08:00 GMT, but I will adjudicate if I receive the retreat sooner. Otherwise, Fall 1902 orders are due 21 October at 08:00 GMT.

Alright, after the replay, this is what we have. Hopefully that's the last of the interruptions. From this point on, I'd appreciate your preliminary orders, and if you will be away for any period of time, or may need to be replaced, I'd appreciate a bit of warning to keep the game going smoothly. From the looks of it, we'll have an early war in the Mediterranean, and Scandinavia may be a bit of a jumble too. After one year, only Denmark and Greece remain unclaimed, but I expect that to be taken care of after this year.
Spring 1902 orders are due 11 October at 08:00 GMT. I may have a small "vacation" for visa purposes that weekend, so I don't recommend waiting until Friday to submit orders.

Gentlemen, it is a happy day! We have now seven again, and the game is ready to begin again. Please welcome Wladimir (Italy) and Brian (Russia)! While the true turn is actually Spring 1902, I think it only fair to allow Russia his two builds, neglected by the previous Tsar. As such, I have attached the map for the Fall 1901 moves, we will replay the Winter 1901 turn. You may edit your builds.

One can indeed wait too long for a Royal. There may be some flaws in the Russian internal lines of communication; if anyone has had contact with the Tsar lately please do tell me because it may be that he cannot receive my emails. If that is the case we may need to find an alternate means for him. But, life goes on, and I can delay no further. Winter brings few surprises, I think, and we shall see what comes in 1902. That Western trio will be rather interesting with the Russian fleet in Norway.

The moment of truth arrives! Foreign Office telegrammes arrive in the offices of the heads of state and government while the common folk rush to get the evening newspaper for the latest official truths. These are the headlines of October 1901:
Relief and uncertainty pervade Copenhagen as the city is passed over in favor of neighboring Sweden by the conquering German fleet.
Greece is under siege by Turks and Italians with Austrian support, but the battle resulted in a stalemate.
The Italians in Piedmont frighten the French, who frighten the Germans, who allow the English to conquer the Belgians.
With free reign over the Black Sea, the Sultan makes the wrong choice. Or did he?

| Dc464 Spring 1901 - Zoterik (Sep 02, 2013, 12:20 pm) |
First on the agenda, a small change of designation. For various reasons, our game is not DC462, but 464. Please keep this in mind; your orders submitted should reflect the proper number but in practice I'm not so picky.
Second, those pesky orders. I do not want to spend this game chasing down players for their orders. I implore you to submit preliminary orders immediately! You can change your orders as many times as you like, so don't be shy!
So, on to our game! There are some intriguing headlines for you to discover as you peruse the orders below, and some public press to decypher. The press I put under the same Swiss heading all the time, and the origin is left unknown. (Indeed, I don't remember who sent it!) By my own observations, I am most intrigued by what the Russian army in Rumania might do, and to where England might expand.
Fall 1901 orders are due 9 September at 08:00 GMT. Don't be late!
Zürcher Zeitung
The Austrian Empire seems unable to renew itself, hence the Russian, Turkish and Italian governments have decided that they are to be removed from the map so progress can be made.
Also in the news, France and Germany have made a secret pact to take on the might of the English lion.
