And the dogs of war slip loose in Fall 1902...

Convolutions abound in the east as Turkey forces their fleet into Rumania but fall prey to a Russian/Austrian team-up in Bulgaria. The yellow and white forces meet head-on in Ankara, but Austria manages to slip into Smyrna.  Meanwhile in the West, England fails to fend off the French in the English Channel due to a timely support cut from the Germans.  And its a game of musical chairs in the Scandinavias - as the blue forces take St. Petersburg and the black forces take Norway.


Intrigue and drama - this ones a gooder.  =)


There was one retreat owed from all the chaos - that from the Turk in Bulgaria.  However, there was only Greece to retreat to so I took the liberty and auto-retreated it there.  (If OTB is preferred, Thor, please just let me know.)  So we'll set the Winter 1902 adjustment deadline for Friday, May 8th (11:59 PM GMT).


Please let me know if you spot any errors.  Cheers!
