And a chaotic spring it was.

You are all definitely awake after that long winter sleep that some of you had. That is a good thing, this is the most unique game I've ever been a part of, and I hope you are all enjoying it and not getting too upset with whatever may be happening. Lots of movement occured this turn, so lets just jump right to the good stuff, shall we? I know none of you really want to hear my commentary, so just skip right over this if you want. The Italians, under new leadership, take a step backward and hold up on the Italian penninsula under fire from the Austrians and Turks. The Austrians devote full force to their western border, while the Turks quietly pick off their SCs from behind with no opposition. The Russians retreat and try to take back Red Square. While the Russians try to take back a home center, the Germans successfully take back Munich from the French, and grab the French capital in the process. While the Germans steal two French SCs, the Brits swap places with them in Brest. How will all of this unfold? Find out this fall. Here are the details:
