Fall 1901: "Was it something I said? Or perhaps didn't say?"
Rumors are flying that the Austrian emperor has gathered all his advisors demanding what has transpired that caused such a massive attack by no less than 3 Powers. Heads are expected to roll.
 
It was by luck, or was it insight, that the Austrians ordered the fleet in the Adriatic to support the Viennese army to Triest and so bounced the joint German/Italian invasion. Had it not been, Austria would have been in a difficult position. Not that it can sit back and relax in 1902 as its neighboring Powers have grown and are closing in.
 
France and England apparently have a disagreement on who's entitled to Belgium.
And Turkey and Russia still dispute the Black Sea.
 
Now Winter has fallen and it's time to rejuvenate the forces.

Deadline for builds is Wednesday, Feb 3 at 17:00 GMT. If no build orders are received, it will result in a NBR for that Power. If you decide not to build on purpose, I need to know that to distinguish between a NBR and a decision not-to-build. Looking ahead at Spring 1902: orders are due on Monday, Feb 8 at 17:00 GMT.
