Spring 1909: the Russian Solo endgame proposal was voted down.
And thus the conquest continues.
Seems that France and Russia have a language problem on which unit is supporting and which needs to be supported for its joint attack on Kiel. The German army in Kiel succumbs to the advancing Russian war machine and is destroyed. Its attempt to avoid the confrontation with the Russians by moving to Ruhr failed because in turn its army in Ruhr saw its destination Belgium snatched away by the French; but only because the Russian fleet in the North Sea cut the German support from Holland.
The Russian army in Triest, perhaps to its own surprise, has been able to move into Venice as the Italians have left voluntarily for Apulia. Was it because they sensed Russian pending doom without the French support they had been receiving sofar?
Meanwhile the Russians may have been served a surprise themselves as the Turkish army has entered Serbia. Or was this an orchestrated manoever by these two Powers? Clearly Turkey is advancing West and Italy will find it hard to hold on to its turf.
England has done its all too familiar shuffle again, trying to keep a low profile, they say.
With 3 Powers having been reduced to only 2 units, who will be next to feel the wrath of the ruling Powers?
No retreats this Summer.
