And the conflict in Europe starts...

Everyone got moves in on time, thankfully!

The opening moves see a dispute between Russia and Turkey with a bounce in the Black Sea. Austria opens cautiously, with two forces holding, with his caution possibly warranted, as Italy sends two armies in Austria's direction. Elsewhere, Germany may be feeling uncomfortable, with opposing forces in Silesia and Burgundy putting pressure on Munich.

Attached are a movement map, a results map and a Realpolitick file. The game page on the diplomaticcorp.com website has also been updated. Deadline for Fall 1901 is Tuesday 2nd March at 2100GMT. Preliminaries are strongly encouraged. PLease note that due to a player request, the deadline after Fall 1901 won't be until around a week later i.e. longer than usual
